Biden argued he would do just the opposite during his campaign\u2014in a 2020 <em>Foreign Affairs<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/articles\/united-states\/2020-01-23\/why-america-must-lead-again\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essay<\/a>, for example, the Democrat wrote that, if elected, he would restore the &#8220;credibility and influence of the United States in the world&#8221; and &#8220;once more have America lead&#8221; on the global stage. He went on to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2021\/02\/04\/remarks-by-president-biden-on-americas-place-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">declare<\/a> just one month into his presidency that &#8220;America is back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Roughly a year and a half later, however, Biden&#8217;s tenure has been marked with repeated foreign policy blunders. In August 2021, the Democrat&#8217;s botched Afghanistan withdrawal led to the deaths of 13 U.S. servicemen at the hands of an Islamic State suicide bomber, marking the <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/four-marines-killed-in-afghan-airport-bombing\/\">deadliest day<\/a> for U.S. troops in the country since 2011. Months later, Biden&#8217;s attempts to deter Russian president Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine failed, sparking a deadly war that has cost Americans tens of billions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the Republican Main Street Partnership\u2014which includes members such as House Republican Conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) and National Republican Congressional Committee chairman Tom Emmer (Minn.)\u2014released a <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/agenda.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new agenda<\/a> that outlines the Republican Party&#8217;s priorities should the party take back control of the House in November.<\/p>\n<p>That agenda pledges to be &#8220;strong enough to be a deterrent to the bullies of the world such as Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran,&#8221; in part by restoring American energy independence. Under former president Donald Trump, the United States became a net annual petroleum exporter for the first time in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/energyexplained\/oil-and-petroleum-products\/imports-and-exports.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than 70 years<\/a>. But under Biden, the United States is again <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=51338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">becoming a net oil importer<\/a>, a reality that Republican Main Street Partnership members argue emboldens hostile, energy-dominant regimes such as Putin&#8217;s Russia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s get back to energy independence and lead the world,&#8221; Rep. Pete Stauber (R., Minn.) said during the partnership&#8217;s internal agenda briefing on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican Main Street Partnership&#8217;s polling surveyed registered voters across four swing House districts: California&#8217;s 22nd Congressional District, Nebraska&#8217;s 2nd Congressional District, Oregon&#8217;s 5th Congressional District, and Pennsylvania&#8217;s 17th Congressional District. In addition to widespread disapproval of Biden&#8217;s foreign policy, the poll found that 72 percent of respondents say the United States is headed in the wrong direction, 63 percent disapprove of Biden&#8217;s general job performance, and 79 percent disapprove of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Those findings have Republicans bullish that they can win a House majority in November\u2014a majority that the partnership&#8217;s members say they will use to prioritize &#8220;common-sense conservative solutions.&#8221; In addition to the group&#8217;s call to &#8220;increase domestic production of oil and natural gas,&#8221; the partnership&#8217;s newly unveiled agenda pledges to cut spending and pass &#8220;strict guidelines to hold district attorneys and prosecutors accountable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have developed a plan full of proven, common-sense, and conservative solutions that are supported by the American people,&#8221; Rep. Mike Bost (R., Ill.) said in a statement. &#8220;We are fighting for real results that get our country back on track.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The White House did not return a request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the campaign trail, President Joe Biden pledged to restore &#8220;respected leadership on the world stage.&#8221; Now, a year and a half into his presidency, an overwhelming majority of voters<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1211,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1583788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1583788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1211"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1583788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1583788\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1583788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1583788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1583788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
