July 21st, 2024

Brentwood, TN – U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) released the following statement on President Biden’s decision to drop out of the presidential race and called on him to resign from office: 

“Finally, Joe Biden has realized what the rest of the American people and even his own party already knew—he is not only the wrong leader for America, but is wholly incapable of doing the job of President of the United States. But he didn’t go far enough. If Joe is too weak to stay in the race for the presidency, he should resign as our Commander-in-Chief immediately,” said Senator Blackburn. “Don’t be fooled: the Democrat Party is no better off today than they were yesterday. It doesn’t matter who is the new face of the ticket in November; it will still be the same old Biden-Harris policies that have made the lives of hardworking Americans more difficult. We cannot afford another four years of economic instability, chaos abroad, and crisis after crisis in our communities. That is why we must elect President Donald J. Trump and JD Vance to reverse these terrible policies and restore American prosperity.”
