“No one cares about presidential historians or golf handicaps,” he said on Twitter, formerly X.

State Rep. Houston Gaines said the question isn’t whether Biden should be the nominee, “he shouldn’t be the president right now.”

“President Biden shared a vision of an America where everyone thrives. Donald Trump told lie after lie, then lied again,” Congresswoman Nikema Williams said on X.
