Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D., issued a statement on July 22, 2024, in response to President Biden's decision not to seek re-election.

"It is altogether fitting for President Biden’s decision to end his campaign for reelection. America is not about one person, but We the People," said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. "Our country stands at a pivotal moment in its history which requires our leaders to be capable of governing under immense pressure. It is tragic it took a disastrous debate performance for the President to be pushed into his decision. The Democratic machine, and its allies in the media, have been lying to the American people for as long as they could about Biden’s mental acuity, with only political pressure from donors forcing them to admit their deceit."

Murphy further criticized the current administration: "Our country has suffered immensely under the Biden-Harris Administration. Their record is defined by historic and painful inflation, record energy costs, a border invasion of epic proportions and political weakness on the international stage. Such blunders have led to hardships on the lower and middle classes, the allowance of individuals into this country who wish to do us harm and global instability that has emboldened our enemies."

He also addressed Vice President Kamala Harris: "With President Biden now endorsing Kamala Harris, he is endorsing a woman who cannot keep executive staff members and who failed in her only job. She oversaw, as the 'Border Czar,' the greatest invasion our nation has ever seen. Because of both of these individuals, we, as a nation, are less secure at home, financially and physically, as we have ever been."
