Washington, D.C. - Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) issued the following statement in response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union:

It was a sad night. President Biden blatantly lied to the American people about Republican attempts to cut Social Security. President Biden knows there is no Republican plan to cut Social Security, but he decided to scare seniors anyway. Republicans rightly rebuffed President Biden’s lies.

President Biden won’t solve Americans' problems, but he should at least be honest about them.

President Biden's State of the Union Address demonstrated that he is out of touch with the American people. 70% of Americans believe the country is not heading in the right direction, but President Biden's speech did not even acknowledge why so many Americans feel that way. His speech failed to discuss solutions that would actually address high energy prices, inflation, the southern border crisis, national security, and other important issues.

Instead of addressing these concerns, President Biden shamelessly lied about the state of the economy. But Americans can feel the impact of his failed policy at the grocery store, at the gas station, and in their wallets. For the last two years, inflation has decreased real wages for the average American, and investments in the U.S. are stalling due to fears of a slowing economy.
