RGA Statement on Joe Biden’s Visit to AL

May 3, 2022

As you cover President Biden’s visit to Alabama today, please consider the following statement from the Republican Governors Association:

“Despite Joe Biden and countless roadblocks thrown up by his administration, Governor Kay Ivey created 50,000 new jobs, achieved the lowest unemployment rate in Alabama’s history, and transformed Alabama’s roads and bridges,” said RGA spokesman and AL native Will Reinert. “It is always a special day when the President of the United States visits the state. However, Alabamians would be better served by President Biden making his first-ever trip to the southern border — instead of the Yellowhammer State where Kay Ivey has things running just fine.”
