Republican officials argued that President Biden’s vocal support for the Sinema-Murphy-Lankford border bill is rooted not in national security concerns but in hopes that he will solve political problems.
The claim comes after incidents in which Mr. Biden made major gaffes or appeared to be searching for the right words during moments of silence, which other observers said were a sign that Mr. He said it only increases political challenges and fuels doubts about cognitive ability.
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Steve Daines (R-Mont.) told Fox News that the problem with current border policy may not be a lack of laws, but rather a lack of will to enforce existing federal laws. he said.
“President Biden has not enforced anything we have enacted. [the bill]that bill says that even if you create an emergency order, you can’t enforce some of the provisions that are in that bill,” Daines said Tuesday on “The Story.”

“Here’s the problem: president biden And Senate Democrats have no desire to truly solve the problem. They want to solve political problems. That’s a big political responsibility for them. ”
Daines said in remarks at the White House on Tuesday that Biden’s visibly irritated relationship with Trump was not about a secure border, but about “political politics” that would benefit him in an election year. He suggested that this may be because they want “results.”
While President Trump claims only “stupid people” or left-wing Democrats will support the Senate bill, Republicans are pushing back against HR2, the border security bill drafted last year by Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Florida). are gathered around.
Meanwhile, Byron York, the Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent and Fox News contributor, said the border bill has “2024 election” written all over it, and Biden is concerned about conservative opposition to the bill. There was no need to make it all about Trump.

Despite President Trump’s staunch opposition, conservatives say there are many legislative differences in the bill, and if Biden himself wants to ensure a truly secure border, he will take immediate executive action. He said that it could cause.
“When he says things like that[referring to Trump]it politicizes it to an even higher level than the already high level of politicization. [it’s] It’s pretty amazing,” he said on “American Report.”
Daines said on “The Story” that Senate Democrats could actually ask Biden to adopt Trump-era border security measures if they really wanted to reduce illegal immigration, and Biden said He added that he inherited secure borders from his predecessor and squandered them.
“The reason the White House and President Biden are tap-dancing at this point is because President Biden’s approval ratings at this point in his presidency are the worst they’ve been in 75 years of American history,” he said.
Mr. Biden’s political struggles have worsened recently with an increase in gaffes. The president paused for several seconds mid-sentence after mentioning the “insurgency response” in the Middle East, before a reporter yelled, “Hamas?” And Biden regained his train of thought.
Separately, Biden spoke Sunday about a recent conversation he had with the French president. They identified him as Francois Mitterrand, a socialist who died in 1996. Mr. Biden appears to be confusing Mr. Mitterrand with the incumbent centrist Emmanuel Macron.
After being shown the footage, Fox News media analyst and MediaBuzz host Howard Kurtz commented on “The Story” that Biden’s “age issue” was very clear. .

Kurtz added that he couldn’t believe that Biden refused to do a Super Bowl interview for the second year in a row.
In 2023, the interview would be on FOX via FOX News, with CBS taking the honor this year.
Biden sat down for an interview with NBC news anchor Lester Holt before the big 2022 game.
“It doesn’t make sense to me that he would get explosive numbers in the jobs report. Would he go on TV and promote his economics show? No,” Kurtz said.
“This is the second year in a row. This time it’s CBS. What, is he afraid of Norah O’Donnell and Scott Pelley?”
