President Joe Biden is involved in a “puppeteer presidency” and is not making decisions on whether he’s seeking reelection in 2024, Rep. Greg Murphy said on Newsmax Tuesday.
The North Carolina Republican told Newsmax’s “John Bachman Now” that he thinks people like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., former President Barack Obama, or “some other people in the administration” are making the decisions and Biden is “just reading on the teleprompter.”
But if Biden does decide to run again, that would be the “best thing for Republicans,” said Murphy.
And now, with the oil prices climbing, Biden has announced he’ll release oil from the nation’s reserves, “which are only meant for emergencies, not to try to help your approval rating,” Murphy said.
“If he does [run] it’ll be a sad day for America, and Republicans will resoundingly defeat him at that point in time,” said Murphy. “I think there’s obviously a lot of voter regret from what happened in 2020.”
