If you seek a campaign of persistent-offence run against Mr. Himes, I would be honored with your vote in the August 13th Primary. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 11, 2024 For more information: [email protected] 203-727-7798 Jim Himes Calls on Biden to Bow-Out – Refusing to Acknowledge that He Has Deceived Us About Biden’s Condition for Years Fairfield, CT – Today Jim Himes put out the following statement calling on President Biden to bow out of the race: "The 2024 election will define the future of American democracy, and we must put forth the strongest candidate possible to confront the threat posed by Trumps' promised MAGA authoritarianism," said Himes. "I no longer believe that is Joe Biden, and I hope that, as he has throughout a lifetime of public service, he will continue to put our nation first and, as he promised, make way for a new generation of leaders." Bob MacGuffie, the endorsed Republican candidate for the Fourth Congressional District, issued the following statement in response to Mr. Himes' statement: "As always with Mr. Himes it is all about politics and the political ramifications. Mr. Himes calls on President Biden to remove himself from the race because he knows Biden is destined to lose, and Himes is afraid he will be defeated as well. For the past couple years Himes has stood by Biden, assuring us Biden was fit, when every politico in DC and the rest of us in the 4th District knew Biden was mentally impaired. Throughout this period, Himes was content to have an impaired Biden in the presidency as long as his constituents didn’t catch on. Mr. Himes has written the book on Gaslighting his congressional constituents. "A responsible presidential cabinet would have passed around an affidavit calling for invoking the 25th Amendment long ago - and a responsible Representative Himes should have signed onto it then. It certainly should have been circulated two weeks ago. That is what’s called for in the Constitution. But no - Mr. Himes continues to play politics, instead of adhering to his sworn oath of office. Jim Himes has a history of breaking either the letter or spirit of his oath of office over his 16-year rule." MacGuffie called on the 4th District press to actually start covering Mr. Himes with a critical eye, and ask him the tough questions whenever he decides to reappear in the District. There is much to look at in his voting record, much to question, and much requiring explanation. MacGuffie is in this race, opposing Himes' policies and his abysmal votes, which would never be approved by a vote of his constituents. Mr. MacGuffie remains available to the press to offer comment and an alternative direction for the solid citizens of CT-4.  # # #     MacGuffie for Congress | Fairfield | Fairfield, CT 06824 US Unsubscribe | Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice
