Press Releases
Rep. Webster on the State of the Union
March 7, 2024
Washington, D.C. — Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, released the following statement in advance of President Biden’s State of the Union Address.
“The state of the union is weak. This week, I asked my constituents how they view the state of our union under President Biden, and a majority agreed.
“Since President Biden has taken office, Americans are less safe, and their banks accounts nearly drained because of his failures at the border and reckless spending. His policies have hamstrung our economy, ended America’s energy dominance, put our children’s education in decline, targeted parents’ rights, and infringed on hardworking Americans’ basic constitutional freedoms and liberties. Simply put, President Biden has put America last.
“But there is hope. Over the past year, House Republicans have been delivering results for the American people. Since taking the House Majority, my colleagues and I have passed legislation to solve the crisis caused by the Biden Administration such as:
- H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, which unleashes American energy production to lower costs for families.
- H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, which combats illegal immigration by forcing the Biden Admin to resume construction of the southern border wall and end the dangerous ‘catch and release’ policy.
- H.Res. 863, impeaching DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his failure to secure the border and uphold the laws of the United States.
- H.R. 5, the Parents Bill of Rights Act, putting in place legal protections to ensure parents always have a say in their child’s education.
- H.R. 26, the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, establishing requirements the ensure infants born alive after an attempted abortion receive the same protection of law and degree of care as any newborn.
