Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Biden has made clear that he is in this race. The matter is closed. Biden is our nominee. He is in this race and I support him. He is running against Trump, who is a man with 34 felony convictions. Not a single Republican has asked for Trump to not be the nominee. I'm here to win in November!”
Joyce Beatty: “I am 100% with President Biden and Vice President Harris because they are protecting our freedom and our democracy. This is the most consequential election in our lifetime. We know what's at stake. Donald Trump is all about retribution and revenge. He wants to be a dictator. We have to continue to stand together behind President Biden and Vice President Harris!”
Debbie Wasserman Schultz: “The media is literally dissecting every word that comes out of Joe Biden's mouth and is ignoring the fact that the Republicans are about to nominate Trump, a convicted felon who still denies he lost the 2020 election.
We have to focus on the danger lurking down the road. If we don't focus on the extremist existential threat Trump poses, we will end up back with him in the White House again.”
Debbie Dingell: “We need to go back to talking about Donald Trump and his performance and all the issues that are at stake. We need to be talking about how Trump wants to be a dictator. We need to talk about how Trump thinks overturning Roe was the greatest thing that he ever did. We need to talk about how Trump wants to give billionaires another tax cut and thinks January 6 was a great thing.”
Gavin Newsom: “I believe in Biden. I believe in his character. He has been one of the most transformative presidents in our lifetime. There’s a decency with Joe Biden. Character matters. Results matter. Politics is not just performative. It’s not just entertainment. It’s about getting things done. And it’s been a remarkable three and a half years.”
Jake Auchincloss: “14 million Democratic primary voters know that President Biden can win. Unlike the Republican Party, Democrats respect free and fair elections. We know that Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy.
On the debate stage, Trump lied every 90 seconds, he refused to say he would accept the results of the election even though people died the last time because he tried to incite an insurrection, he's trying to politicize Social Security, he's trying to hand Ukraine over to Russia, etc. How much more do Republicans need to hear before they do the right thing?”
Maxwell Frost: “President Biden has been out there being forceful against Trump’s Project 2025. Democrats will win up and down the ballot in November. Joe Biden will be reelected and we're going to take the House.”
President Biden: “We're not going anywhere. I would not be running if I did not absolutely believe that I am the best candidate to beat Donald Trump. I will be reasserting that and demonstrating that this week and from here on out.”
AOC and other top Democrats speak out in support of President Biden.
