On Sunday, the Democrat said gas prices are hurting millions of Americans and Biden must open up the national petroleum reserve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re here today because we need immediate relief at the gas pump and the place to look is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve,\u201d stated the lawmaker. \u201cSo that\u2019s why I\u2019m urging the administration to tap that reserve, get the prices down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those reserves were built up by 45th President Donald Trump who stockpiled millions of barrels of oil during a period of low prices. On the contrary, Biden restricted oil drilling and blocked Keystone XL pipeline earlier this year, resulting in an explosive growth of fuel prices and a surge in inflation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Step 1.

It was $2.23 cents a year ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schumer noted that as the economy begins to recover from the coronavirus pandemic, \u201csupply and demand cannot keep up with the global desire to return to normal,\u201d especially with the holiday season closing in. The Democrat assessed that no industry is spared, but fuel gasoline is the worst of all.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/cdc-study-on-covid-vaccine-draws-heavy-criticism-from-medical-expert\/\">CDC Study On COVID Vaccine Draws Heavy Criticism From Medical Expert<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of N.Y., appears at a news conference at the Capitol in Washington, on Oct. 26, 2021.
