Following his speech at the Democratic National Convention, Biden traveled to California for nearly a week and is now spending another week at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, as reported by the White House. Johnson accused both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris\u2014who is running for president\u2014of having &#8220;no shame&#8221; regarding their leadership failures while in office, referencing recent speeches from Democrats at the DNC. On Fox News&#8217;s Fox &amp; Friends, he remarked that they are prioritizing fantasy over reality: \u201cWe need to ensure people understand that decisions should be based on facts rather than emotions. They are making statements that are clearly false and misleading the American public.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Johnson also expressed concerns about Harris\u2019s presidential campaign, suggesting that U.S. adversaries view her as less intimidating than Biden. He pointed out the increasing number of conflicts occurring during Biden&#8217;s presidency and claimed it has led to &#8220;the most dangerous time since World War II.&#8221; He asserted that Donald Trump should be in office instead because he commands respect from adversaries.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Harris was named the Democratic Party\u2019s 2024 presidential nominee after Biden announced he would not seek reelection due to polling showing Trump leading him. During his appearance, Johnson announced plans to award Congressional Gold Medals to families of 13 service members who lost their lives in a suicide bombing at Kabul airport\u2014a tragedy marking its third anniversary on Monday\u2014during the withdrawal from Afghanistan under Biden&#8217;s administration. Additionally, last month Johnson visited the southern border to criticize Harris\u2019s management of border security, claiming she is accountable for what he described as a disaster; border security remains a significant issue among Republicans heading into the 2024 election cycle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2330976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mike-Johnson-NRCC-scaled-1024x700.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[39294,32502,34218,32171,32076],"class_list":["post-2330975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-beach-vacation","tag-biden-administration","tag-mike-johnson","tag-political-commentary","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mike-Johnson-NRCC-scaled-1024x700.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330975","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\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2330975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2330976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2330975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2330975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2330975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
