ST PAUL – Today, the Minnesota DFL Party released the following statement after President Biden announced he was no longer running for reelection:
“President Biden’s announcement is an extraordinary act of selflessness and leadership from a president who has built an equally extraordinary legacy,” said DFL Chair Ken Martin. “He saved our economy, passed the most significant climate policies in our nation’s history, lowered prescription drug prices for seniors, and defended our democracy at its most vulnerable moment. Few presidents in American history have done more for our country than Joe Biden.
As we thank President Biden for his service and for everything he has done for our country, we must also look ahead to the existential stakes in November. Our party must now rally behind Vice-President Harris and emerge as a united front ready to defeat Donald Trump in November.”
