House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., has endorsed former President Trump for a second term, citing Trump’s previous successes and criticizing President Biden’s administration.
Scalise highlighted concerns about rising costs, border security, and foreign aggression.
Scalise wrote, “When Donald Trump was President, American workers and families were thriving.” (Trending: Transgender Actor ‘Purposefully Misgendered’ By Airline Employee)
“The economy was strong and interest rates were low — grocery costs were affordable, and families could afford to buy a house and provide for their children. The border was secure and crime was down. America had secure energy policies, keeping gas and utility prices low,” his statement continued.
“Hardworking Americans are fed up — consumer sentiment fell to its lowest level ever under President Biden,” wrote Scalise.
The Louisiana Republican said the U.S. needs “a strong leader to fix the problems Joe Biden has created and — with rising aggression from adversaries abroad — deter foreign actors who wish to harm us.”
“Fiscal Year 2023 surpassed Fiscal Year 2022 as the worst year at the border with the most migrant encounters on record, 169 individuals on the terrorist watchlist apprehended attempting to enter illegally, and over 27,000 pounds of fentanyl seized by the CPB,” explained Scalise.
“In Joe Biden’s America, our communities aren’t safe,” he continued.
“American families and workers deserve a president who will stand up for them and their safety, rescue us from failed Bidenomics, and restore our nation to greatness,” declared the lawmaker.
“I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for president in 2024, and I look forward to working with President Trump and a Republican House and Senate to fight for those families who are struggling under the weight of Biden’s failed policies,” concluded Scalise’s statement.
In response, the Democratic National Committee criticized Scalise’s endorsement, linking it to Trump’s agenda and actions.
Sarafina Chitika, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) national press secretary, said, “MAGA House Republicans keep showing America they’ve turned the House into little more than an arm of Donald Trump’s campaign – so it’s no surprise Steve Scalise, who called himself ‘David Duke without the baggage,’ is joining the parade of House extremists backing Trump’s bid.”
“Scalise’s top priority has always been pushing Trump’s unpopular agenda: He voted against certifying the 2020 election, is hellbent on banning abortion nationwide, and worked with Trump to try to rip away Americans’ health care. Scalise’s endorsement is the latest proof that while the House GOP is unable to accomplish anything on behalf of the American people, they are laser-focused on advancing Trump’s MAGA agenda and ripping away freedoms,” added the political strategist.
Meanwhile, Trump faces challenges in several states seeking to remove him from their primary ballots due to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots.
