Dem-NPL Chair Reacts To President Biden And Vice President Harris Reelection Campaign Announcement

Yesterday, President Joe Biden announced his candidacy for President of the United States in the 2024 Presidential Election.

North Dakota Democratic-NPL Chair Adam Goldwyn said, “It’s a great day to be a Democrat. We’re proud of our president and his accomplishments in his first term. North Dakota has witnessed some of the most extreme legislation in the country—book bans, funneling money to lawmakers while school children go hungry, and now our Governor has signed one of the harshest abortion bans into law. Biden’s consequential legislation like the American Rescue Plan Act, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and Inflation Reduction Act brought essential funding to North Dakota. North Dakotans can hold their heads up high when they say ‘I’m voting for Biden.’”

In Biden’s announcement video, he remarked, “Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There’s nothing more important. Nothing more sacred.

That’s been the work of my first term: To fight for our Democracy. This shouldn’t be a red or blue issue. To protect our rights. To make sure that everyone in this country is treated equally. And that everyone is given a fair shot at making it.

But around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take those bedrock freedoms away. Cutting social security that you’ve paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy. Dictating what health care decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love. All while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote.

When I ran for President four years ago, I said we are in a battle for the soul of America. And we still are. The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom. More rights or fewer.”

The North Dakota Dem-NPL is proud to stand with the President for four more years.
