Americans are feeling even more pain at the pump this week as gas prices set record-highs two weeks in a row.
The national average rose to $4.60 with prices topping $5 in New York State and $6 in California.
President Biden was asked about the issue when speaking with reporters during his overseas trip to Asia.
“When it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said.

“Paired with historic inflation and shortages for basic goods like baby formula, the rising cost of gas is the result of Joe Biden and Democrats’ anti-U.S. energy agenda,” said GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. “Unfortunately, Biden only plans to make this crisis worse for families by not doing anything.”
I went down a rabbit hole on gas prices in reporting this story on the headwinds for Democrats.
The daily national average for unleaded gas has **set a new record high** every single day for a month.

Watch Biden’s comments above.
Blaming biden for gas prices and baby formula again, huh? Why don’t you blame the true culprit, the free market? Supply and demand have caused gas prices to soar. I’ll tell you what conservatives tell me all the time: DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! Gas prices and inflation are up all over the globe. And the baby formula story? How the hell is the biden’s fault? Seriously, think critically about it for a minute or two, look up some articles about the recall, and then ask yourself if this is the domain of the federal government. (Hint: it’s not.)
Biden is far from the perfect president. But these complaints are as valid as blaming bad weather on the man. Get real!
Gas prices at the pump aren’t devastating enough, check out airfare to anyplace. Finally able to travel again and can’t afford to. Fu*k Joe Biden!!!
JB is a pathological Liar!
He caused this problem on the first day he was in office and shut down the Keystone XL Pipeline!!
Making a bad situation worse cannot make it better. RE – OPEN THE XL-PIPELINE and we will be energy independent again. But, biden wants us starving in the streets for him to feel anything. this is sickening.
You are an idiot if you think Biden has nothing to do with any of it. Why he shut the pipelines down when he first took office, was a huge mistake, now we are all paying for it. The country is going to hell all because of him. And the baby formula shortage, they knew about it in February and chose not to do anything about it. Now they are finding a ton of formula at the border to give out free to the illegal imagrants – what the heck! Sending all that money to Ukraine, which we can’t afford to do when we are hurting here is crazy…..
