WASHINGTON – Missouri U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt has released a statement following Joe Biden announcing he is suspending his campaign for President of the United States:
“Joe Biden’s time in elected office is far past its expiration date. Biden’s three-and-a-half-year tenure in the White House has brought Americans crushing inflation, an abysmal foreign policy record, and a vastly unchecked expansion of the administrative state. Americans are ready for new leadership, not more of the same from Democrats – regardless of who they now scramble to nominate. Further, if Joe Biden isn’t fit enough to serve as a candidate after the primary, he isn’t fit to serve as president now,” said Senator Eric Schmitt.

Missouri Republican Party:
“The events of this week highlight the strength and unity of the Republican Party,” said Nick Myers, Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party. “While I was at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, it was evident that our party is firmly united behind President Trump. This unity stands in stark contrast to the current confusion within the Democratic ranks, as they struggle to now find a new leader.” The Missouri Republican Party stands united behind President Trump’s candidacy, confident in his leadership and the policies that prioritize the safety, prosperity, and freedom of American citizens. “The choice is clear: Americans want a leader who will protect their freedoms, ensure economic prosperity, and maintain national security. We are confident that our commitment to these values will lead us to prevail against any opponent the Democrats present.” Myers added. This election season, the Missouri Republican Party is fully prepared to engage with voters across the state to share our vision of a stronger, safer, and more prosperous America. Regardless of who the Democrat Party selects as their nominee, we’re looking forward to delivering a victory for President Trump this November and sending him back to the White House.
Missouri State Senator Holly Thompson Rehder:
I’m very happy that Biden, and his team, realizes that he isn’t okay to run for re-election. If they cared about our country, they would also have him step down as president. America having a president that is not mentally capable to lead, is a national security issue.
