John, I am sure
you have seen the news and I wanted to make sure I shared my thoughts with
you.
President Joe Biden has been the most progressive and effective President
on domestic and economic policy in my lifetime. It has been an incredible
honor to work alongside him to pass truly historic legislation that has
lifted up working and poor people across the country and fundamentally
changed the nature of government so that it works for people not for the
wealthiest billionaires and largest corporations. President Biden has
never forgotten where he came from or what it means for people to know
that he has their backs.
His leadership has been unparalleled, with the results crystal clear with
the record of achievements: the lowest unemployment in over 50 years; the
biggest investment in taking on climate change in history; an historic
investment in rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure with union and green
jobs; taking on Big Pharma to reduce the cost of prescription drugs; being
the most pro-union president in history and fostering the tremendous
energy of workers organizing across the country; the clear focus on
investing in communities that have been disproportionately affected by
structural racism and economic inequities; serving as the most pro-union
president in history and enabling the largest movement of worker
organizing in recent history; and historic appointments to key positions
including the first Black woman Supreme Court Justice and his historic
appointment of Kamala Harris as his Vice President, partner and nation’s
leader on abortion rights, among many other issues. I am forever grateful
to President Biden for saving our country from COVID and a Donald Trump
presidency, and for the tremendous legacy of service he has given to our
country.
I know President Biden’s decision to step aside this election comes after
careful and deliberative consideration of the best path forward to win the
House, Senate, and White House, and protect our democracy — which has
always remained his top priority. I respect his decision and I applaud his
full-throated endorsement of Vice President Harris to be our Democratic
nominee who will continue President Biden’s legacy, defeat Donald Trump,
win the House and the Senate and defend our rights and freedoms.
Millions of Americans cast their ballots for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
in the primary. Vice President Harris has proven time and time again that
she can prosecute the case against Donald Trump and campaign vigorously
for Democrats down the ballot. She will mobilize and energize our base to
re-engage and ensure that we turn out every single voter across the
country and deliver victory in November. She has been a partner to
President Biden in pushing the Biden-Harris Administration’s achievements,
and she has embraced the Biden-Harris 100-day agenda that will energize
the country toward a vision of what we must and will implement when we
keep the White House and Senate and take back the House: restoring Roe v.
Wade, signing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, capping rent increases to
5 percent, expanding Social Security and Medicare, ending all medical
debt, raising the minimum wage, passing the PRO Act, and more.
At a time when Donald Trump and his Republican Party have stripped away
women’s reproductive freedoms, we will respond by finally electing the
first woman to the presidency. And as the first South Asian woman elected
to the House of Representatives, I look forward to seeing Kamala Harris
become the first South Asian American and first Black woman to serve as
the President of the United States of America. Democrats must immediately
unite so we can focus on winning in November. I look forward to casting my
vote for Kamala Harris for President and doing everything I can to ensure
she becomes our next President.
Together,
Pramila
