By the Republican National Committee

BIDEN’S PRESIDENCY HAS BEEN A COMPLETE FAILURE

AMERICANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT BIDEN’S “DIMINSHED FACULTIES”  

  • In February, a special counsel found Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” — including classified documents related to national security and “sensitive intelligence sources and methods” — in his home, garage, and office for decades.

AMERICANS ARE WORSE OFF FINANCIALLY BECAUSE OF BIDENOMICS

BIDEN’S POLICIES HAVE BEEN A HANDOUT FOR THE WEALTHY

  • Biden has repeatedly taken steps to unilaterally “cancel” student loan debt, including recently transferring nearly $138 billion in federal student loans to taxpayers without a single act of Congress.
    • With 40 percent of student debt held by students with advanced degrees, such as doctors and lawyers, loan bailout has been called a “giant welfare program for the bourgeoisie.”
    • Even Biden admits student loan bailout primarily benefits students who go to ‘elite’ private colleges.
    • Last summer, the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s $10,000 per borrower student loan bailout, ruling that he clearly does not have the power to unilaterally “cancel” student debt under the law.
  • Biden’s radical environmental agenda has subsidized electric vehicle (EV) ownership for the wealthy at the expense of poor and middle class Americans.

AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ARE DEALING WITH MORE CRIME UNDER BIDEN

BIDEN HAS CREATED AN UNPRECEDENTED CRISIS AT THE BORDER

BIDEN’S FOREIGN POLICY BLUNDERS HAVE MADE THE WORLD LESS SAFE

THE MILITARY IS WEAKER UNDER BIDEN

  • In 2023, the military services missed their recruitment goal by 41,000.
    • The armed services are entering 2024 with the smallest active duty force since World War II, while recruitment for 2024 is predicted to be a record low.
  • Biden’s FY 2024 budget sought to shortchange America’s military, with defense funding failing to keep pace with inflation.
  • This year, Biden is requesting a budget that includes “deep cuts in a wide range of programs, delays to existing programs, and slowing efforts to build weapons stocks.”
    • This includes an 18 percent cut in the number of F-35 jets the Pentagon orders.  
    • The cuts come as U.S. military capability is arguably lower than at the end of the Cold War.
  • At a critical time for national security, top officials in the military are instead concerned about pushing “diversity and inclusion.”

BIDEN IS WAGING A WAR ON AMERICAN ENERGY

  • Throughout his presidency, Biden has targeted American-made energy.
    • On his first day in office, the Biden administration “issued a memo suspending the authority of the local Bureau of Land Management offices to approve leases, drilling permits, and mining operations.”
      • The same day, Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline which killed 11,000 jobs.
    • In June 2021, the Biden administration suspended oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
    • In February 2022, the Biden administration indefinitely delayed planned oil and gas lease sales on public lands.
    • In September, the Biden administration banned drilling on 10.6 million acres of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska and severely restricted drilling activity on an additional 2.6 million acres.
      • The Biden administration also canceled all oil leases sold by the Trump administration in the Alaskan Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
    • In January, Biden delayed consideration of new natural gas export terminals.
  • Biden would rather buy oil from hostile foreign nations than boost American energy production.
    • His administration traveled to Venezuela to enter discussions with the illegitimate, criminal Maduro regime to pump more oil, and later announced the U.S. would ease sanctions on Venezuelan oil.
    • Biden has repeatedly begged Saudi Arabia for more oil, even traveling almost 7,000 miles to make a personal plea.
    • Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg admitted buying oil from Iran was “on the table.”
  • To limit soaring gas prices ahead of the 2022 midterm election, Biden sold off more than 40 percent of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
  • Thanks to Biden’s radical energy agenda, families struggled to heat their homes over the winter as more households fell behind on soaring utility bills.

BIDEN HAS FAILED PARENTS AND STUDENTS

BIDEN HAS SPENT THREE YEARS PUSHING DEMOCRATS’ WOKE AGENDA

  • The Biden administration is an advocate for abortions without limits.
    • Biden refused to name any limits on abortion that he supports despite having acknowledged that abortion kills a child.
    • Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra refused to condemn partial birth abortion and abortion based on sex or disability.
    • The Biden administration is referring Americans to an abortion website which includes a section for people “15 or younger” on how to “bypass” parents and guardians to obtain an abortion.
    • All of Biden’s budgets have removed the Hyde Amendment, which prevents taxpayer dollars from funding abortions.
  • Biden opposes a state’s right to protect minors from life-altering sex-change surgeries.
  • Biden appointed a “book ban coordinator” to stop actions to remove pornographic material from school libraries and classrooms. 
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has infiltrated all levels of the federal bureaucracy under Biden.
  • Biden has stripped away important religious freedom protections.
