WASHINGTON, D.C. – After President Joe Biden announced he is no longer seeking re-election, Dream for America’s Chief Executive William He issued the following statement:
“President Biden will go down in history as one of the most transformative leaders of our time, and he deserves the utmost respect and commendation for his service to our country. President Biden has delivered for young Americans like never before — from ushering in a new era of representation to preserving the pillars of our democracy. He cut costs for working families, stood as a voice of reason against the rise of extremism, re-established America’s standing on the world stage, and delivered visionary leadership on the issues that matter most to our generation. This White House has taken on climate change, made history with the first ever Office of Gun Violence Prevention, canceled over $169 BILLION in student loan debt, and so much more.”
“Dream for America is thrilled to have been part of a historic youth coalition to back President Biden for re-election earlier this Spring & we continue to stand strong with our generation in supporting their progressive vision for America.”
“Which is why, today, we’re passing the torch & proudly endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States — if elected, she’d be the first African-American woman & first Asian-American president in US history.”
“Vice President Harris understands that the road to a strong America at home and abroad starts with an economy grown from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top on down. Kamala Harris understands the urgent need to defend our democracy, lower costs for working families, make healthcare more affordable, tackle gun violence, & protect civil rights, women’s rights, and LGBTQ+ rights.
“Throughout her career, she’s always made it crystal clear whose side she’s on — the side of young people and everyday Americans — and she’ll continue this fight for four more years to deliver visionary leadership on the issues that matter most to our generation.”
