Today the Indiana Democratic Party released the following statement after President Joe Biden announced he would not seek another term this November.
“We want to thank President Biden for his long service to our country and the exceptional job he has done as president. President Biden led our country out of the worst pandemic in 100 years, reignited American manufacturing and infrastructure growth, brought unemployment to a 40-year low, and oversaw record job growth in Indiana and across the country,” said Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Mike Schmuhl.
“In Indiana alone, Hoosiers saw an administration committed to advancing union labor, creating more opportunities for working families, and combating climate change. President Biden broke through the partisanship in Washington to pass the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, the American Rescue Plan, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act. We are committed to continuing the progress and building on the infrastructure decade President Biden has started.”
“More than anyone, President Biden understands the importance of this election and this moment. That’s why after deliberation and thought, he has decided to leave the presidential race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris to defeat Donald Trump and stop Project 2025. Americans are hungry for a new generation of leadership from the White House to local offices to move America forward with liberty and justice for all.”
Now is the time to unite behind Vice President Kamala Harris to defeat Donald Trump and continue the progress of the last three-plus years. Vice President Harris has already shown leadership on the issues that impact everyday Americans, from gun violence prevention to protecting abortion rights and fighting for reproductive justice in all 50 states.
