Biden reelection campaign capitalizes on Republican scramble for speaker

President Joe Biden’s campaign is taking advantage of the fact that House Republicans haven’t selected a speaker in 17 days.

Biden is up for reelection in 2024, and he would be 86 years old at the end a second term. Online and in press gaggles, Biden and his campaign staffers have been mocking the GOP for ousting Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the speakership without any replacement in sight.

HOUSE GOP CONFERENCE VOTES TO ABANDON JORDAN AS SPEAKER NOMINEE

“MAGA House Republicans’ self-inflicted chaos and chronic inability to govern stands in stark contrast to President Biden’s strong and steady leadership at this critical moment for global security,” Biden campaign spokesman Ammar Moussa said in a statement. “It is embarrassing that MAGA House Republicans continue to let the petty sniping and infighting in their own party prevent them from working with the president on bipartisan national security priorities.”

Moussa added, “Voters will remember how when world events called for American leadership, President Biden stepped up and MAGA House Republicans humiliated themselves and failed the American people.”

Earlier this week, while leaving Israel, Biden sarcastically told a gaggle of reporters “I ache for” Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) failed attempts for speakership. Jordan went on to lose a third election before he was removed as the speaker nominee.

The “Biden-Harris HQ” account on X, formerly Twitter, has been reposting clips of Republicans in “disarray.” Among its posts are a clip of McCarthy claiming, “We are in a very bad position as a party,” and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) saying the GOP conference “is in big trouble” as a result of not electing a speaker.
