  • Jean-Pierre says that gas prices are down 86 cents per gallon from a June peak. "Prices are coming down even as Putin's war continues to put pressure on global energy supplies."
  • "President Biden promised to address 'Putin's price hike' at the pump and he is," says Jean-Pierre.
  • The White House claims that the drop in oil prices is due to the President's efforts in rallying international partners to release "unprecedented levels of oil" from strategic oil supplies.
  • Jean-Pierre highlights a letter from former Treasury Secretaries endorsing the Inflation Reduction Act. She claims there is a long list of experts who have "debunked Congressional Republican lies," that the bill will lead to increased inflation.
