Perry believes that Republicans should take advantage of the situation to put more pressure on Biden regarding the southern border in light \u2062of the chaotic migrant crisis. Perry made these statements during an appearance on Fox Business.<\/p>\n<p>Perry argues that Republicans\u200d should use every point of leverage available to them. Since \u2064the president comes to\u2064 speak at the invitation of Congress,\u200c and Republicans are in control of the House, Perry sees no\u200c reason\u2062 why \u2064they should invite Biden and allow him to propagate his message, while blaming the American people for the crisis he has caused.<\/p>\n<p>House Republicans \u2062previously \u2062rejected bipartisan legislation supported by Biden to strengthen border security. This rejection came after former President Trump, the party&#8217;s front-runner for the 2024\u200c presidency,\u200c voiced his \u200copposition to the package. Perry, a retired general of the National \u200cGuard, has\u200c previously expressed doubts about Biden&#8217;s mental competence to serve as the \u2062nation&#8217;s leader.<\/p>\n<p>Perry&#8217;s\u200d proposal to prevent Biden from delivering the State of the Union speech would be unprecedented. However, this is not the first time political squabbles have\u2064 clouded the yearly address. In 2019, then-House \u200cSpeaker Nancy Pelosi postponed then-President Trump&#8217;s speech due to a\u200d partial government shutdown. Weeks\u200b later, Trump finally made his speech, \u2064but Pelosi \u200cdid not introduce him.<\/p>\n<p>Since assuming office in 2021, Republicans\u2062 in the chamber have publicly mocked Biden in previous speeches. Perry is not the only\u200d one \u200dsuggesting canceling Biden&#8217;s speech this year. Senator Joni Ernst has also demanded that the event be canceled if Biden fails \u2063to provide \u2062a comprehensive budget to \u200cCongress.<\/p>\n<p>The White \u2063House has consistently dismissed concerns about the president&#8217;s mental competence. It remains to \u200bbe seen how Speaker Mike Johnson will respond \u200dto Perry&#8217;s urging to prevent Biden from \u2064delivering the State of the Union\u200d speech. The ongoing political tensions suggest that this year&#8217;s address may not proceed smoothly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
