Biden blames war in Ukraine for escalating oil prices

President Biden blamed the war in Ukraine for escalating the price of oil and gas as he spoke to reporters Saturday.

Biden has blamed the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Biden said it was outrageous that the war in Ukraine was causing the war.

If held today, 46% of registered voters say they would want Republicans to win the U.S. House of Representatives, while 41% say they want Democrats to stay in the majority.
