I'll suggest, without knowing, that Biden fancies himself to be a deal-maker, almost the way Trump talks about himself. Biden's name has been on some horrific legislation such as the 1994 Crime Bill. Only recently, I learned that he also was instrumental in crafting the Patriot Act long before the excuse developed to enact it.
I suspect the oil lease purchased some of the environmental legislation that got passed last year.
