WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Steve Daines criticized President Joe Biden's performance on various issues since taking office, including the southern border, the economy, and national security. Speaking at the weekly Republican Senate Leadership press conference, Daines highlighted the president's failures and low approval ratings.

Daines began by noting that President Biden's approval numbers are now the worst of any president since Jimmy Carter. "In fact, you have to go back 75 years to find a president with lower approval numbers," he said. Citing NBC and Gallup polls, Daines pointed out that the American people have given President Biden the lowest marks of any president in 75 years.

One of the areas where Daines criticized President Biden was the southern border. He argued that the president inherited a secure border, with numbers that were in good shape. However, Daines claimed that President Biden made it worse on Day One by reversing the policies put in place by former President Trump. Daines expressed concern about the influx of illegal immigrants and the potential terror threat to the country.

Daines also criticized President Biden's handling of the economy. He argued that the president inherited record job growth, wage increases, and a stable Middle East thanks to the Abraham Accords. However, Daines claimed that President Biden made it worse by unleashing a massive $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, which he believed would create problems for the economy.

In addition, Daines criticized President Biden's foreign policy decisions, particularly the disastrous Afghanistan pullout and the Iranian drone strike that killed three Americans. Daines accused President Biden of projecting American weakness and argued that the American people recognize his incompetency.

In conclusion, Senator Steve Daines strongly criticized President Joe Biden's performance on the southern border, the economy, and national security. He highlighted the president's low approval ratings and accused him of making everything worse since taking office.
