Since entering office, Joe Biden has created crisis after crisis, causing inflation to skyrocket, gas prices to reach historic highs, a historic invasion at our Southern and Northern Borders that has turned every community into a border community, and Biden’s weakness on the world stage has plunged the world into a state of constant chaos.
IT’S SIMPLE: Americans cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden in the Oval Office. We know that under President Trump, on day one we will end Biden’s reckless government spending that has caused Bidenfaltion to skyrocket, unleash American energy independence, secure our Southern and Northern Borders, and restore America’s place on the world stage.
BIDENOMICS BY THE NUMBERS:
Inflation is a tax on ALL Americans.

Real wages remain lower than when Biden first took office.
Inflation-adjusted average weekly earnings were $397.90 when Biden took office and are now $382.28 - the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjusts to 1982-1984 dollars - meaning Americans have seen a 3.9% decrease under Biden.
Bidenflation outpaced wages for a majority of Biden’s presidency – both year-over-year real average hourly earnings and real average weekly earnings were negative for 25 months.
Under Biden, the mortgage rate climbed to over 7% nationally, and housing affordability has plummeted to record lows.

JOE BIDEN’S BORDER CRISIS BY THE NUMBERS:
Since Joe Biden took office:
There have been OVER 9.6 MILLION illegal immigrant encounters nationwide.
There have been OVER 7.9 MILLION illegal immigrant encounters at our Southern Border.
There have been 1.8 million known gotaways who evaded U.S. Border Patrol.
There have been more known gotaways than in the previous decade combined.
In May, there were 170,723 illegal immigrant encounters at our Southern Border.
This is a 185% increase from the average May under President Trump.
May was the 39th straight month where monthly illegal immigrant encounters have been higher than even the highest month seen under President Trump.
Under Biden, over 350 of these individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist were stopped trying to cross the Southern Border.
So far in FY24, there have been 90 individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist who have been stopped trying to enter the U.S. illegally between ports of entry at the Southern Border.

So far in FY24, there have been a record-breaking 27,496 Communist Chinese nationals encountered at the Southwest border.
The Biden border crisis is costing the United States approximately $150.7 billion each year.
The burden of illegal immigration on U.S. taxpayers is both staggering and crippling with the gross cost per taxpayer at $1,156 every year.
In May, the Committee on Homeland Security Republicans released documents showing the Biden Administration secretly flew over 400,000 illegal immigrants into the country.
Biden’s Far Left Democrat open border policies are to blame for this historic crisis.
There are OVER 60 instances of Joe Biden and his Administration taking actions that undermined our nation’s border security, including halting the construction of the border wall.
In August 2022, Biden and his Administration decided to make the border crisis WORSE by formally ending former President Trump’s successful ‘Remain in Mexico’ program.”
The Biden Administration announced on May 10, 2023, that it would allow for the release of some migrants into the U.S. with no way to track them.
Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has now admitted that 40% of catch and release migrants have disappeared.

BIDEN’S FAILED FAR LEFT DEMOCRAT ANTI-AMERICAN ENERGY AGENDA:
Under Biden, U.S. average gas prices reached a historic high of over $5 nationally.
Under Biden, the price of a gallon of gas has been above $3 per gallon for well over 1,000 days in a row.
Americans have lost over $4,400 paying higher energy costs since Biden took office.
In January 2024, the Biden Administration announced they paused all pending non-FTA export permit applications for liquified natural gas (LNG) export projects, empowering countries like Russia and Iran and hurting our allies who depend on U.S. energy.
The Biden Administration is kowtowing to environmentalists by having his Department of Energy undertake a review of LNG export terminals and the climate considerations for their approval.
By cutting off exports from the United States, Biden is pushing our allies, including the European Union and other countries, to dirtier sources.
Since 2012, the Energy Department commissioned three studies on the impact of gas exports focusing on the economics of the trade. Those previous reviews had consistently found gas exports benefited the public.
The Biden Administration has continually passed the buck by blaming domestic energy producers:
Biden’s regulatory assault destroys ANY incentive for domestic energy producers to invest, and it worsens energy market volatility.
Most recently, Biden announced that his Administration would no longer hold court-ordered offshore oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska.
In March 2024, Joe Biden’s EPA announced new vehicle regulations that amount to a de facto gas vehicle ban, covering light-duty and medium-duty vehicles for model years 2027-2032.
Last year, gas cars accounted for 92% of U.S. vehicle sales, while less than 8% were electric. More than a third of EV sales occurred in California.
75% of U.S. registered voters oppose government policies that would ban new gasoline, diesel and traditional hybrid vehicles, including 80% of Independent voters and 56% of Democrats.
Compliance with the new regulations will require a more than 600% increase in EV sales over a period of 8 years.
On day one of Joe Biden’s presidency, he launched his war on American energy when he killed the Keystone XL Pipeline, which could be supplying 830,000 thousand barrels of oil from Canada to U.S. refineries.
Biden has sold off more than 40% of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), and in 2023, America’s stockpile at the SPR plunged to 40-year lows.
Since Biden took office, his Administration and Congressional Democrats have taken over 200 actions deliberately designed to make it harder to produce energy here in America.
BIDEN’S NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS:
Biden has failed to stand up to our adversaries in Beijing, Tehran, and Moscow.
Biden’s strategy of appeasement toward Iran has resulted in the deadliest attack against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, hundreds of Iranian-backed terrorist attacks on American servicemembers, and plunged the Middle East into chaos.
On October 7, 2023, the world witnessed Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists perpetrate the deadliest attack against the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
To appease his pro-Hamas base, Biden withheld aid from Israel.
In May, Biden told CNN that he would withhold military aid to Israel if Israel continues their campaign against Hamas terrorists.
Biden’s decision greenlights Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran to escalate attacks following his failed foreign policy of appeasement.
Biden went into hiding for nine days as antisemitic, pro-terrorist mobs overran colleges and universities, endangering Jewish students.
When Biden finally addressed the country for the first time in days, he did NOT condemn the antisemitic, pro-terrorist, mobs that have overrun colleges and universities, and he did NOT say how he would protect Jewish students.
In April, Biden was blasted for equivocating on antisemitic protests happening across the country.
To appease Iran, Biden removed the Houthis from the U.S. list of foreign terror organizations.
Houthis have fired ballistic missiles at commercial ships and attacked a U.S. warship with Iranian drones.
In 2023, Biden gave Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, $6 billion as a ransom payment for five American prisoners, jeopardizing Americans' safety around the world.
The Biden Administration admitted that there would be no way to control how Iran spends the $6 billion dollars.
While American servicemembers were under attack by Iranian-backed terrorists, the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was MIA, and Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks was on vacation in Puerto Rico.
The Biden Administration allowed a Communist Chinese surveillance balloon to traverse the entire continental U.S. over the course of 7 days, gathering intelligence and flying over sensitive military sites, before taking action.
Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted in:
Biden is "privately defiant" that he made the right calls during his Administration's catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
Biden's catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan led to the deadliest attack on Americans in Afghanistan since 2011 killing 13 of our brave servicemembers and wounding many others.
OVER 1,000 Americans were abandoned behind enemy lines for months at the mercy of the Taliban, and $7 billion in U.S. military equipment was left behind.
Under Biden, the U.S. Army fell 15,000 soldiers short of their recruitment goal for FY22, missing by 25%.
