RNC Statement on Biden's Visit to Texas

Press Release

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on Biden’s visit to Texas:

“Instead of witnessing his border crisis or meeting with American energy producers, Biden would rather buy oil from terrorist regimes and let millions of illegal immigrants flow into the country. Americans are paying for Biden’s abject failure.”

Background:

  • Biden has not visited the southern border despite promising last March to go “at some point.”
    • There is no record of Biden visiting in his nearly 50 years in public office.
  • According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), the nationwide average price for a gallon of regular unleaded reached $4.173 today.
  • Today, the average for Texas hit $3.855 per gallon, according to AAA.
