Orlando, FL: Today, President Joe Biden issued a letter saying he will end his re-election bid. Below is Representative Eskamani’s statement in response:
This is the right decision for the American people and the Democratic Party. I thank President Joe Biden for making this brave and difficult choice and for his leadership in many policy arenas. As Democrats, our values compel us to fight for the underdog, to defend everyday Americans in the face of injustice, and to champion policies that lift up all people. Let’s stay focused and energized for the future. The only way we will win is if we are united throughout what will no doubt be a messy, but necessary, process. Too many issues and freedoms are on the line for us to get this wrong. Onward to November and onward to victory.
