INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Indiana Republican Party Communications Director Griffin Reid issued the following statement on Democrat nominee Jennifer McCormick's silence regarding President Biden's disastrous debate performance and cognitive decline:

"Democrat nominee Jennifer McCormick still has not commented on the disastrous debate from the leader of her party, President Joe Biden. As national Democrats call for Biden to end his campaign after his obvious cognitive decline was on full display 13 days ago, Jennifer McCormick still has yet to answer if she thinks Biden is fit to serve as President or if she wants Biden at the top of the Indiana Democrat ticket with her in November. 

"This follows a pattern of McCormick refusing to answer basic questions about what she believes. She has not said if Joe Biden should resign the office of President after his cognitive decline became undeniable at the debate or if she still supports Biden at the top of her Democrat ticket. 

McCormick has not revealed if she will still vote for Joe Biden in November after the debate, and still has not revealed who she voted for in 2016 or 2020. 

"72% of American voters said Biden does not have the mental and cognitive health to serve as President following the June 27 debate in a CBS poll. What does Jennifer McCormick think? No one knows. 

"Meanwhile, we all know where Sen. Braun stands, because he isn't afraid to share his true beliefs with Hoosiers, unlike McCormick." 

Sen. Braun offered this reaction to the debate:

"Last night’s debate was a disaster for Joe Biden, who was lost and confused about how his extreme liberal policies have hurt Americans. President Trump showed he is focused and ready to end the crisis on the border, reverse the inflation crisis hurting Hoosier families, and enact bold America First solutions I’m running for Governor to bring to Indiana as well."

Just yesterday, Sen. Braun had this to say on Fox Business: 

“How can you have someone that is obviously showing these signs running the toughest business in the world - the federal government - with all the challenges that are out there?”
