Oklahoma officials react to Biden’s withdrawal from the race

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Oklahoma officials are sharing their reactions after President Joe Biden announced he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.

President Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday afternoon and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his Democratic nomination.

As I’ve been saying for months, President Biden trailed in every poll because of his policies, not because of his age or mental capacity. Democrats gave us high prices, open borders, and a weak position in the world. That’s not just Biden’s legacy, it’s the legacy of the modern Democratic Party.

Let’s make America great again!

Senator James Lankford

If President Biden is not good enough to be the next Democratic nominee, he is not good enough to continue serving as president. President Biden must resign immediately.

Whoever the Democratic nominee is, it will be a tough task to defend the Biden-Harris record of historic inflation, crime and wide-open borders. The American people have seen enough.

Congressman Josh Brecheen

Reminder: Vice President Harris is responsible for securing the southern border.

Representative Stephanie Bice

Joe Biden has provided steadfast leadership during a time of great turmoil in America, and I thank him for his service as president over the past three and a half years. Oklahoma Democrats are energized, and we will unite behind our presidential candidate.

Oklahomans are concerned about our public schools, health care, and the extreme policies holding our state back. When I visit voters across the state, Oklahomans are excited about the opportunities to restore balance to the Capitol and protect democracy in our country. I am confident that is the message we will take to the ballot box in November.

Cyndi Munson, Democratic Party leader in the Oklahoma House of Representatives

If Joe Biden is not fit to be the Democratic presidential nominee, he is not fit to be president for the remainder of his term. For the good of the country, Joe Biden should resign immediately.

Congressman Kevin Hern

If Joe Biden is not fit to run for re-election, he is not fit to serve his term.
