“Thanks, @JoeBiden.”

On Thursday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee posted a graph to Twitter celebrating what appeared to be a decrease in gas prices over a couple weeks in November. That price decreased just two cents per gallon.
"Thanks, @JoeBiden," the post from the DCCC reads. Attached is a graph that shows the gas price starting at $3.40 per gallon on an undated day, presumably one week before November 22.
