Washington, DC – Congressman Ben Cline (R-VA) issued a statement regarding President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race.
“The undeniable truth is that Joe Biden’s mental incapacity forced him out of the race, rendering him unfit for the presidency,” Rep. Ben Cline said. “If Biden can’t handle running a campaign, he can’t handle holding the highest office. Biden’s alarming cognitive decline not only jeopardizes our national security but is also a threat to every American.”
Congressman Cline emphasized the need for Biden to step down from his position: “We need a leader who can handle critical decisions around the clock, every day of the year. It’s time for Biden to step aside voluntarily, or his Cabinet must take action under the 25th Amendment for the good of our nation. He needs to prioritize our national security and the welfare of all Americans over his tenure of power.”
Cline also addressed how Democrats allegedly forced Biden out of the race 106 days before the election: “Over the years, Democrats and their media allies have shamelessly dismissed valid concerns about the President’s mental capacity as conspiracy theories. Every individual involved in this cover-up, particularly Vice President Harris, must be held accountable for their actions.”
In closing, Congressman Cline expressed concerns about Kamala Harris potentially succeeding Biden: “Over the last three and a half years, the string of failed policies goes beyond Biden alone; it encompasses the entire Biden/Harris Administration. Harris is set to perpetuate their extreme leftist agenda, responsible for drastic inflation, the dire southern border crisis, and profound harm inflicted on every American family. The American people are sick of this extreme agenda that this Administration is pushing, and they deserve better.”
Congressman Ben Cline represents Virginia’s Sixth Congressional District. He previously worked as an attorney in private practice and served as both an assistant prosecutor and a Member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Cline resides in Botetourt County with his wife Elizabeth and their two children.
