Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., didn't criticize President Biden's Department of Energy for a massive oil purchase to help replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) despite slamming former President Trump in 2020 for attempting to include a similar purchase in a stimulus package.

The DOE announced a purchase of 4.65 million barrels of oil Monday to replenish the SPR, which has been tapped by the Biden administration, to assist with high gas prices.

The department bought the oil for an average price of $77.

Great move! Now Biden can release 4M barrels right before the election. Maybe VP Harris will have $1.00 gas on Election Day!
