Ohio politicians react to Biden dropping re-election bid

DAYTON, Ohio ( WDTN ) — President Joe Biden dropped his re-election campaign Sunday, July 21, in an earthquake to the presidential race. Politicians in and from Ohio offered their opinions:

I thank President Biden for his years of committed service to the country we love — as Senator, as Vice President, and as President.

Sen. Sherrod Brown

While the Democratic Party wondered if Joe Biden could serve for another four years, I have publicly stated my concerns that he’s not up to the job for the next four days. Our national security demands a full-time president. Today’s announcement confirms what the American people would have done at the ballot box in November. President Biden‘s cabinet must take immediate action and determine if he is capable to govern for the remainder of this year.

Congressman Mike Turner

I have known President Biden since 1995, when I entered the U.S. Senate and served with him on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Fran and I wish President Biden and the First Lady all the best as he serves out the remainder of his term and in the years ahead.

Make no mistake – Sherrod Brown and San Francisco liberal Kamala Harris were the chief conspirators and enablers of the Biden mental decline cover up for years for one reason: because Brown and Harris could finally pass the extreme liberal agenda they’ve always wanted. Kamala Harris is even more extreme than Joe Biden. Together with Sherrod Brown, they will stop at nothing to finish their radical agenda. The Democrats will scramble to change faces, but the American people know all too well the results of their policies. That’s why we will defeat Sherrod Brown and Kamala Harris in November.
