President Joe Biden landed himself in hot water after making a claim about Gas Prices in California.
While Biden was in California, a reporter said, “Have you seen Gas Prices around here in LA? It’s 7 bucks a gallon almost.”
He replied, “Well, that’s always been the case here.”
Biden continued, “You know, it’s not — what — nationwide, they came down about $1.35, and they’re still down over a dollar. But we’re going to work on housing is the big, is the most important thing we have to do in terms of that.”

The president’s remark sparked several reactions on Twitter.
California Republican Senate candidate Mark Meuser wrote, “I’m sorry Mr. President but California does not usually have $7 gas. In fact, prior to you becoming president, $5 gas in California was considered extremely high. You clearly are out of touch with how your policies are destroying this nation.”
New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin wrote, “False. When Biden was sworn in as President, gas in California was actually less than half what it is today.”
