WICHITA – Today, Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) released a statement following President Joe Biden's announcement that he will not seek reelection.

"President Joe Biden's announcement that he will suspend his reelection campaign is an admission of something that Americans have observed for a long time – he is not fit to be president, which also means he can no longer serve as commander in chief. Vice President Kamala Harris, numerous congressional Democrats, and the media have shamefully ignored and willfully misled the American people by hiding the true cognitive state of President Biden – their deception is a disgraceful disregard for the American people. For the good of the country and for our national security, President Biden should resign immediately."

Estes further commented on the impact of the current administration's policies: "While Joe Biden may be withdrawing from the 2024 race, Kansans are still suffering from three-plus years of devastating policies from the Biden-Harris administration that passed with emphatic support from nearly every Democrat in Congress, leading to crushing inflation, a dangerous open border, skyrocketing national debt, wars in Europe and the Middle East, and burdensome government regulations. There's no question about it – the Democrats' nominee will continue pushing the same extreme, out-of-touch policies that were championed by Joe Biden, border czar Kamala Harris and congressional Democrats."
