“President Biden once again touted an optimistic review of his performance from the last three years that ignores reality and the struggles Americans confront.  On more than one occasion, his words lacked accountability, shirking responsibility onto others to make up for his own failed actions.  In reality, the state of our border, economy and national security are worse off today under President Biden.

“The southern border has seen record-shattering illegal crossings every month since President Biden took office.  Inflation skyrocketed as a result of this Administration’s economic policies, and Americans are currently spending more of their income on food than they have in 30 years.  Abroad, our adversaries no longer fear us and the world is becoming less safe.

“President Biden should work with Congress to address the problems our country faces, not continue to shift blame.”
