RNC Statement on Joe Biden in Philadelphia

Press Release

WASHINGTON – Today, ahead of Joe Biden’s remarks in Philadelphia, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement:

“Joe Biden wants to cover for his failed public safety record, but Americans remember when he failed to stand up to the ‘defund the police' radicals and back first responders when it mattered most. Meanwhile, fentanyl is killing Americans and violent crime is crippling communities across the country. It’s no wonder that six in 10 Americans feel less safe than when Biden took office.” Background:

  • In Biden’s first year, at least 12 major U.S. cities, including Philadelphia, set new homicide records.
  • 26 of the top 30 cities with the highest murder rates are Democrat-run, according to The Heritage Foundation.
