The White House is feeling the heat, and even the press is putting pressure on Joe to take action on the rapid increase in the price of gasoline.
The talking points that Joe has been using to defend the sanctions that he imposed are being shown up for the farce that they really are.
However, because Russia is unwilling to raise domestic oil output, the administration is unable to sanction Russia in a way that would be detrimental to the country. If they sanctioned Russia's energy market without also increasing output in the United States, the price of gasoline would likely increase to anywhere between $6 and $7 per gallon on average, not just in California.
It would appear that the Democrats have come to the conclusion that the best course of action is to act as though nothing is wrong and to hold out hope that things will calm down before November. However, this strategy is no longer effective. The media is beginning to catch up on the fact that Americans are unhappy about the price of fuel, and it is only a matter of time before the price of fuel causes an increase in the price of everything else.
There is a lot of pressure, and things at the White House got so heated that one employee yelled at a reporter who asked Joe Biden about sanctions against Russia and oil.
REPORTER: “Will you ban Russian oil?”
BIDEN STAFFER: “He said ‘no!' LET'S GO!”
REPORTERS: “No, he didn't." "He didn't respond to anything." pic.twitter.com/cgmR7P4V0J

Joe just sat there smiling and watched after he had just made another huge speaking gaffe. During his appearance before the media, he stated that Ukrainian citizens are taking cover because missiles are being fired "indiscriminately into RUSSIAN cities."

Left-wing pundits are recommending that America buy oil from our sworn enemy Iran in order to cut gas prices.
If you’re a) devoted to cutting off Russia’s oil revenues and b) worried about inflation and spiking oil prices, this is one possible solution… https://t.co/kmgIGFBQs5

The left seems to prefer buying oil from a country that funds terrorism against the United States to getting it from our own soil.
America is in trouble.
