Statement from NYSYR Chairman Peter Giunta following Joe Biden’s decision not to seek re-election

By July 21, 2024Statements

“If there’s one issue that has united all Americans, it’s that Joe Biden has been the worst president in the history of our nation. Today, Biden’s decision not to seek re-election affirms his realization of this brutal fact.

The most despicable part of all this is that, as Americans increasingly questioned Biden’s physical and cognitive health these past several years, his family and top aides selfishly paraded him around the world and repeatedly lied to us about his health — even the mainstream media was in on it.

Biden’s announcement follows a historic week for the Republican Party, which gathered in the Midwest for an energized national convention that united a younger and more diverse GOP behind President Donald J. Trump and his Young Republican running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio.

Democrats now head into the November election having disenfranchised millions of their voters and without a standard-bearer that can unite them. Kamala Harris — Biden’s heir apparent — is one of the least popular Vice Presidents in our nation’s history and is far behind Biden in most national polling. With a crisis raging on our southern border, an economy in free-fall, and global tension at an all-time high, it’s no surprise. Democrats are in a state of total disarray — and right now, it’s at the expense of America’s strength and prosperity.

Young Republicans are stepping up to take control of our future as we fight fight fight to elect President Donald Trump and JD Vance and usher in a new era of American greatness.”
