When Kamala and I were sworn in over two years ago, the economy was on its back. Schools and businesses were closed. People were hurting. And far too many were mourning the loss of a loved one to COVID-19.
Kamala and I agreed that we couldn't just rebuild the economy as it was before: we needed to build an economy from the bottom up and the middle out, not the top down. So we got right to work and passed the American Rescue Plan.
Today, our economy has recovered faster and stronger than any other developed country in the world, we've created more jobs in two years than any president in a four-year term, and the unemployment rate is near record lows.
And we didn't stop there: we kept working to make progress on the issues that matter.
We passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, kicking off a decade of rebuilding our country's roads, bridges, highways, ports, internet and railroads.
We passed the most significant gun safety legislation in nearly three decades.
We took on Big Pharma and won, capping the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors — now, the biggest insulin manufacturers are lowering the cost for everyone.
We passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which is bringing down costs for working people and is the largest investment to combat climate change in U.S. history — because I believe building a clean energy future starts in America.
When I look back at all the things we've accomplished together, and all the work EMILYs List has done to elect Democratic pro-choice women, I feel proud — and I'm reminded that there's so much more work for us to get done.
If you're with Kamala and me in this fight, can I ask you to split a donation between our campaign and EMILYs List to help us build the foundation we'll need to win in 2024 and elect Democratic pro-choice women up and down the ballot?
I know I don't need to remind you what's at stake in this election: the MAGA Republicans in this race want to drag us backward.
When they look at America, all they can see is carnage, darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies for profit and power.
When Kamala and I look at America, we see possibility.
If the last two years show you anything, it's that there's not a single thing beyond our capacity if we do it together. I am proud to have you in my corner.
Thank you,
Joe
Joe Biden
