LARGO, Maryland U.S. President Joe Biden vowed on Thursday to get gasoline prices down, one day after a report showed that consumer inflation surged by the most in 14 months due to higher energy costs.

"I'm going to get those gas prices down again, I promise you," Biden told an audience in Maryland during a speech on the economy.
