Denton County and state of Texas leaders have been posting their reactions to the news Sunday that President Joe Biden, 81, will not seek reelection in November.
In a letter addressed to the public, Biden said that while it was his intention to run for reelection, “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday to be the Democrat Party’s new presidential nominee after he announced that he was ending his reelection campaign.
Harris’ favorability rating is similar to Biden’s, but the share of Americans who have an unfavorable view of her is lower than the president’s.
State Senator Tan Parker (R-Flower Mound) issued the following statement: “The backroom games by the Democrat power structure and liberal media in this presidential election show just how far the left will go to deceive the American public. Their political spin and actions depict the lack of transparency and accountability that has propped up and shaped the entire Biden Harris administration. The United States stands at a crossroads, and the American people deserve to know the truth behind what has been really happening at the White House.”
If Biden is unfit to run FOR the presidency, he is unfit to run THE presidency.
American security is at risk both at home and abroad.
A change in the oval office is essential – immediately – to ensure the safety of Americans and the security of our country.

If Dems think trading Biden for his failed Border Czar is going to change anything, they’re dreaming.
Under her “leadership” criminals and terrorists stream across our wide-open border & fentanyl continues to kill thousands of innocent Americans.
If she can’t fix the border,…

The June debate was a hit job on Biden by his own party; humiliating him was step one to run him out. There was no need for Biden to debate that early, as I said at the time. They were with him every… https://t.co/PAQDbojpw3

If Biden is too mentally handicapped to run for President, he’s obviously incapable of leading the most powerful nation in the world.
Congress should push for the 25th Amendment immediately. https://t.co/foz7ogl81c
