Freshman Rep. Kat Cammack took to the House floor on Wednesday to define the Biden administration’s first year as “a disaster from top to bottom.”
Speaking next to a “Biden’s Broken Promises” poster, the Florida Republican detailed how President Joe Biden’s agenda has negatively affected the country.
“Instead of working to change positively, Biden has worked to change our country into a population of dependence because that is, at the end of the day, what this administration is about: dependency and control,” Cammack said.
Cammack compared the more than 1.7 million border crossings in 2021 to the 500,000 or less in 2020 under former President Donald Trump. She also noted how Biden’s first year in office saw more than 440,000 cases of COVID-19, a number that is “more than when the pandemic began and the entire year of 2020.”

Cammack attacked the Biden administration’s COVID-19 policies, saying they have missed the mark.
“The Biden administration was caught flat-footed, once again, on testing capacity nationwide and distribution of critical lifesaving therapeutic treatments,” Cammack said. “In my home state of Florida, we had a fantastic monoclonal antibody treatment program going, and the federal government stepped in and stopped it. Why? Because they are threatened by the freedom. They are threatened by the success.”
Cammack said Biden’s first year in office is also defined by a 40-year-high inflation rate, high gas prices, and empty shelves due to supply chain crises.
“On top of these mounting challenges, the Biden [administration] has put the entirety of their political capital behind over $6 trillion worth of so-called social justice spending bills meant to prop up failing government programs and a liberal wish list of items,” Cammack added.
She asserted that the economic impact will “certainly be burdening generations of Americans to come,” but she offered a hopeful outlook for change.
“We can take our country back, and we will,” Cammack said. “To Americans hurting in the first 52 weeks of this administration … remember November is coming.”

Cammack’s speech was delivered as a new Gallup survey showed that Biden’s promise of unity has broken into pieces.
“Party polarization highest for first-year president,” its headline said, noting an 83-point divide in Biden’s approval ratings between Democrats and Republicans. It was 75 points at the end of Trump’s first year.
