WASHINGTON— Today, Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson released the following statement in response to President Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address.

"It is no surprise that President Biden's address tonight felt out of touch with everyday Americans," said Rep. Simpson. "President Biden touted 'results' and so-called wins that are far from most Americans' current reality. Under this administration, Americans have suffered from record-high inflation, an open border affecting every state, and an energy crisis weakening our country on a global scale. Instead of providing solutions, the President only offered disingenuous political spins. Make no mistake, everyday American families are worse off now than they were four years ago. This is a direct result of President Biden's self-inflicted policy wounds. Tonight's address reaffirmed that President Biden has no desire to reverse course and tackle our nation's crises."
