House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) issued a statement following President Biden's announcement of his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election. Scalise criticized the Democratic Party's decision, asserting that it disrespects their voters.
"Democrat party bosses just proved that they have absolutely no respect for their own voters. After lecturing others about democracy, they just forced Joe Biden off the ticket, trashing the primary choice of 14 million of their own voters," Scalise stated.
Scalise also addressed criticisms directed at those who questioned President Biden's fitness for office, labeling them as conspiracy theorists. "For years, Democrats and their partners in the media maligned Americans who questioned the President’s fitness based on what they saw with their own eyes as conspiracy theorists. Every single one of these people - especially Vice President Harris - who participated in this cover up must answer for their involvement."
He further attributed various national issues to the current administration. "It is not just Biden-Harris who have been polling so poorly, it is their entire administration’s failed, extreme agenda that is crushing hard-working families, causing record inflation, the worst border crisis in our lifetime, and chaos around the world."
