RNC Statement on Biden's Visit to Pennsylvania
WASHINGTON — Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley released the following statement on Joe Biden’s visit to Pennsylvania:
“As Joe Biden visits the Keystone State today, Pennsylvanians are struggling because of Bidenomics. Pennsylvania families are suffering from historic inflation, unaffordable gas prices, and record high housing costs. It’s no wonder why Pennsylvanians will vote to make America affordable again and elect President Trump in November.”
Background:
- Inflation in the state is at 17%, costing the average Pennsylvania family $888 more per month.
- The average price for a gallon of gas in Pennsylvania currently sits at $3.73, which is over $1 higher than when Biden took office.
- Average gas and diesel prices in Pennsylvania both hit new record highs under Biden.
- From 2020 to 2023, the median sale price of a home in Pennsylvania has jumped 31 percent.
- In Greater Philadelphia, the median sale price for homes hit all-time highs under Biden.
- Biden is losing to Trump in Pennsylvania – just like every other battleground state.
- Only 35 percent of Pennsylvanians approve of the job Biden is doing.
- With approval from only 27% of 18-34-year-olds.
- Only 27% of another critical block, Pennsylvania’s independent voters, approve of the job Biden is doing.
