White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain took a victory lap on behalf of President Joe Biden for what Klain described as a “historic decline” in gasoline prices to around $4 per gallon, crediting the president’s get-tough attitude toward U.S. oil producers for the multi-week fall of pump prices.
Klain made the remarks in an interview on CNN on Aug. 8, in which the White House official said that prices dropped after Biden demanded oil refiners bring them down in line with falling crude prices.
