Indivisibles,

Last week, we asked you a very important question: Do you support Indivisible National's recommendation to endorse President Joe Biden for reelection?

Your response was resounding: With 97.2% of respondents voting in favor, we are excited to announce that Indivisibles have overwhelmingly voted to endorse President Joe Biden’s campaign for reelection.

At 97.2%, Indivisibles voted to endorse by an even higher margin than our presidential endorsement vote for Biden in 2020 (95%), showing that we understand the seriousness of this upcoming election, the incredible accomplishments Joe Biden and his administration have achieved in this term, and the opportunities ahead if we can elect a strong, progressive, Democratic party in the 2024 cycle.

Some of the Biden administration’s biggest accomplishments:

• Leading the nation through the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic and dramatically cutting child poverty by passing the American Rescue Plan
• Shepherding in the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years and boosting wages for millions of workers
• Passing the biggest climate investment in our nation’s history in the Inflation Reduction Act
• Finally allowing Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for seniors
• Confirming Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court in a historic first, along with justices across the federal judiciary at an unprecedented rate 
• Brokering the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law across party lines to pass long-overdue investments in the country’s roads, bridges, public transit, airports, water systems, and access to high-speed internet  
• Securing a generational investment in American manufacturing and innovation through the CHIPS and Science Act
• Working behind the scenes to get rail union workers a fair agreement for paid sick leave
• Passing the first meaningful gun safety legislation in 30 years
• Expanding our national monuments and establishing the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni Grand Canyon National Monument to protect sacred land for future generations 
• Fighting to reduce the burden of student debt, even in the face of historic opposition from the MAGA Supreme Court
• And lastly, getting Republicans on the record taking credit for his achievements that they voted against time after time

Biden’s first term began with a trifecta and the mandate of the people to bring stability and a people-first administration to the White House. However, we soon learned -- due to the maneuverings of Senators Manchin and Sinema -- that our trifecta wasn’t a true, durable majority. Despite the obstruction caused by these senators and their moneyed interests, the Biden administration still managed all of these incredible achievements, and we are ready to send them back to the White House for more. 

Why is this endorsement important?

It appears Democrats are on a collision course with Trump’s MAGA machine all over again in 2024. Despite facing four indictments, Trump still sits firmly at the top of the potential GOP nominee list (in fact, seemingly because of his indictments, he has gained ground among Republicans). And Kevin McCarthy is laying the groundwork to return to Congress next week and launch a brazenly political impeachment investigation into the president to distract the public and tarnish Biden heading into an election year. Democrats need grassroots support to power another resounding rebuke of MAGA extremists.

Coalescing behind Biden is the first key to creating the kind of unified Democratic front we will need to win true majorities. We are not looking to win the White House again and be stuck in the same positions with special-interest senators blocking our progress (see: Manchin, Sinema) or a divided Congress. We need to win back the House, vote a true majority into the Senate, and hold the White House so that we can push an empowered trifecta to codify abortion rights, balance the court, ban assault weapons, and create the inclusive and fair democracy we dream of for all.

This endorsement is our first step to get there. 

And if you’re ready to put everything you’ve got into reelecting President Biden and securing real majorities in Congress, here are our next steps:

• If you have a Democratic representative, RSVP for our Making a Majority Blue Districts Cohort Call TONIGHT, September 5 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. This call will be an opportunity to learn about our strategies to win in blue districts in 2024. Specifically, we’ll be highlighting our Reproductive Freedom Agenda and talking about how we can set ourselves up to enshrine federal protections after the next election. 
• If you have a Republican representative, RSVP for the Our States, Our Fates Red Districts call this Thursday, September 7 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Come join your fellow Indivisibles from red districts in talking about the war on education, the MAGA threat to school boards, and how we can undermine the hold of MAGA extremists on red districts. 
• Join your local Indivisible Group. If you’ve been waiting to join a group or maybe fell off after we kicked Trump out of the White House in 2020, now is the time to connect! Building people power today will allow local groups to scale up their plans for 2024. If you’re already part of a local group, make sure you are planning for the 2024 election cycle now! Next year’s election is already upon us -- let’s prepare ourselves! 

We are getting started early this cycle because the threat of Trump is once again so clear, and we don’t have time to waste. This endorsement is the first step in bringing the left together to defeat Trump (again), codify abortion rights, balance the court, create a fair economy, and direct the country to a green future.

Thank you for being Indivisibles. Thank you for believing in our movement and the power of your fellow Indivisibles. Most of all, thank you for always being ready to do the work to defend our democracy and create a fairer and more inclusive country. We couldn’t do this without you.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
