LAS VEGAS, NV – Today, President Joe Biden announced that he will drop out of the upcoming 2024 Presidential race. This comes after multiple top Democratic officials called on him to drop out of the race. Biden’s accomplishments have been substantial with multiple pieces of bipartisan legislation and executive orders aimed at supporting working people, immigrants, and unions.
“We want to thank President Biden for dedicating his life to the service of this country,” said Shelbie Swartz, Executive Director of Battle Born Progress. “For the past 53 years, Joe Biden has served this country through being Delaware’s Senator, Vice President under President Barack Obama and President for the last three and a half years. During his current term as President, he oversaw the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, The American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the CHIPS and Science Act. These major legislative accomplishments demonstrate the President’s dedication to the American people. From increasing jobs to addressing gun violence prevention, Biden has truly focused on prioritizing issues impacting Americans.
“It is now time for the Democratic party to get behind a new candidate who can take on Donald Trump in the general election. The divisive nature of Trump’s politics combined with the threat of national abortion bans, tax cuts for the wealthy, and a return to harsh immigration policies, spells disaster for our country. The threat to our democracy is real. The Supreme Court has given Trump carte blanche with the unprecedented scope of their immunity ruling. Project 2025, if implemented, would lay the groundwork for an authoritarian turn never before seen in this country. We thank President Biden for his service, his accomplishments, and his announcement to withdraw from the race. This paves the way for a candidate to come into the fold and take on Trump.”
