Washington, D.C.-- House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, in response to Joe Biden's State of the Union address, criticized the President's leadership and policies, as reported on her official website.

Stefanik stated, "Joe Biden is a deteriorating president and under his failed Far Left leadership the State of the Union is in crisis. His desperate attempt at a reset dismisses the everyday struggles of Americans suffering because of his failed policies." She pointed out various issues that have arisen during Biden's presidency, including the border crisis, weakness on the world stage, and high inflation, attributing them to what she described as Biden's radical agenda.

Furthermore, Stefanik highlighted the impact of Biden's policies on American society, mentioning violent crime, soaring energy prices, and what she perceives as government overreach targeting specific groups. She emphasized the need to revert to what she termed "America First policies," advocating for a secure border, energy independence, peace through strength, and a thriving economy that generates job opportunities and supports communities.
