Washington, D.C. (March 8, 2024) – Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) expressed strong criticism of President Biden's recent State of the Union address, labeling it as disconnected from reality and failing to address crucial domestic issues.

In her statement, Houchin accused Biden of prioritizing foreign conflicts and attacking his political opponents rather than focusing on pressing concerns such as the border crisis, the economy, and the rise in fentanyl-related deaths. She highlighted Biden's aggressive tone during the address, noting his repeated attacks on his opponents and the lack of emphasis on issues like border security.

Houchin also criticized Biden for what she perceived as a lack of acknowledgement of the immigration situation, stating, "Over 10 million illegal immigrants have entered the United States under Biden’s leadership. It is the number one issue on the minds of Americans, yet Biden barely mentioned it."

Furthermore, the congresswoman accused Biden of making promises he cannot keep, particularly in areas like abortion, foreign policy, and market interference, without offering practical solutions for challenges like border insecurity, inflation, and crime. She suggested that Biden's speech was more of a campaign address aimed at reassuring his base rather than addressing the concerns of the American people.

Houchin concluded by asserting that the American people are not convinced by Biden's performance, pointing to ongoing issues at the border, rising inflation, increased crime rates, and what she described as a visible decline in Biden's mental acuity.

The controversy surrounding President Biden's State of the Union address continues to spark debate and criticism among political figures like Congresswoman Erin Houchin.
