Rep. Emmer on why Democrats will ‘lose’ in next elections: ‘One incompetent move after another’ – Fox News

Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., argued that President Biden will not be reelected in 2024 because his administration is responsible for inflation, "chaos" at the southern border and the "crime wave" across the country.

Emmer made the argument during an exclusive interview with "Sunday Morning Futures" where he slammed the administration for "one incompetent move after another."

Emmer said he agreed with Wyoming Sen. John Barrassos comments on the program earlier this month when the Republican senator argued that the results of the "rejection election" on Nov. 2 revealed that voters across the country "overwhelmingly" rejected the Democrats' "radical policies," which caused inflation, open borders and the strong potential for highertaxes.

Barrasso made the comment five days after a good election night for Republicans in states including Virginia, where the GOPpulled off anelectionwin in the governor's race many would have believed impossible several months ago.

"Americans are smart," Emmer, the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said on Sunday. "They are rejecting thissocialist big government agenda."

"They realize that Democrats inCongress right now arecompletely out of touch withMain Street America and middleclass Americans."

He then said that the job of Republicans over the next year "is tomake sure that its very clearevery day that their policies,their big government policies,are driving inflation, aredriving the crime wave acrossthis country, are responsiblefor the open border."

Emmer slammed the leadership under President Biden as "incompetent," which he said has been on display since the president took office in January.

President Bidens approval rating stands at 36%, with disapproval at 53% in a new Quinnipiac University national poll. Thats the presidents lowest level of public support in Quinnipiac polling since taking over in the White House in January.

Bidens approval edged down a point and his disapproval trickled up a point from Quinnipiacs October survey.

The president stood at 49% approval and 51% disapproval in a separate national poll fromMarquette University Law Schoolthat was released on the same day earlier this month. Bidens approval in the survey, conducted Nov. 1-10, was down nine points from Marquettes last poll, from July.

POLLS INDICATE BIDEN'S INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOCIAL SPENDING MEASURE ARE MORE POPULAR THAN THE PRESIDENT

Bidens approval rating hovered in the low to mid 50s during his first six months in the White House. But the presidents numbers started sagging in August inthe wake of Biden's much criticized handling of the turbulentU.S. exit from Afghanistanand following a surge in COVID cases this summer among mainly unvaccinated people due to the spread of the highly infectious delta variant as the nation continues to combat the coronavirus, the worst pandemic to strike the globe in a century.

The plunge in the presidents approval was also compounded by the most recent surge of migrants trying to cross into the U.S. along thesouthern borderwith Mexico. Alsofueling frustrations with the presidents performance has been the rise this summer and autumn in consumer prices.

Emmer argued on Sunday that the Trump administrations policies "were incrediblypopular," including Americas energyindependence, safety and security in the country, and asecure southern border.

He went on to say that when Democrats came into office they "basically tookit as a mandate" to "undo everything thelast administration did," which resulted in "terrible consequences tothe American people and thats why theyre going tolose next fall."

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday thatPresident Bidenintends to run for reelection in 2024.

"Yes, that's his intention,"Psakitoldreporters aboard Air Force One on the way to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where Biden and first lady Jill Biden held a "Friendsgiving" celebration with military service members and their families.

Psakis comment follows reports that Bidens allies are seeking to calm concerns about his age and plummeting poll numbers, which have been compounded by the devastating gubernatorial election loss for theDemocratsin Virginia that is being interpreted as a referendum on his presidency.

Emmer said on Sunday that Biden "can run againin 2024 if thats what he wantsto do, but hes going to lose."

He then stressed that the reason Democrats are going to lose is because "prices are up for everything andpaychecks are down" and "theyre responsible for thiscrime wave," but are "doing nothing to solveit."

Emmer also argued that Democrats are "responsible forchaos on our southern border" and the "incompetence" as it pertains to the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan the "ridiculous political ploy torelease 50 million barrels ofoil from the strategic petroleumoil reserve."

"Its just one incompetent moveafter another," he continued.
