A Republican Senator Vows to Make Biden a ‘Half Term President’
A member of Senate Republican leadership is vowing to make President Joe Biden a “one-half-term president” by toppling Democrats’ congressional majorities in the 2022 midterms.
Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, the No. 3 GOP leader, speaking on Thursday at an event hosted by the conservative Ripon Society, hearkened back to 2010 when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made a similar declaration about stymying then-President Barack Obama.
“Mitch McConnell’s come under a lot of criticism for saying at one point he wanted to make sure that Barack Obama was a one-term president. I want to make Joe Biden a one-half-term president,” Barrasso said, according to video that was posted Tuesday by the organization. “And I want to do that by making sure they no longer have the House, Senate and White House.”
