President Joe Biden reaffirmed his commitment to running in the 2024 presidential election, despite speculation he might step down. He criticized Donald Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention, saying Trump focused on his personal issues and failed to offer a clear plan for the country.
Biden accused Trump of harming the economy and women’s rights and trying to undermine democratic processes. He promised to fight for his vision of a fair and democratic America and stated that he will keep campaigning to challenge Trump’s agenda.
“Last night the American people saw the same Donald Trump they rejected four years ago. For over 90 minutes, he focused on his own grievances, with no plan to unite us and no plan to make life better for working people. He avoided mentioning his Project 2025 agenda, but still proudly flaunted the worst of MAGA extremism.”
He continued:
Americans know exactly where he wants to take this country. They know that he inflicted pain and cruelty on the women of America by overturning Roe v Wade. They know that he destroyed our economy once and will inflict pain on the middle class, that he wants to gut the checks and balances of our Constitution and rule as a dictator on day one. Donald Trump’s dark vision for the future is not who we are as Americans.
Biden gave more importance to his own campaign’s goals, framing the upcoming election as a critical choice between his vision for a democratic and equitable America and Trump’s agenda. He expressed confidence in his campaign and reiterated his intention to continue on the trail, challenging Trump’s “Project 2025” while advocating for his own record and future plans for the country.
“Together, as a party and as a country, we can and will defeat him at the ballot box,” added Biden. “I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America: one where we save our democracy, protect our rights and freedoms, and create opportunity for everyone. The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win.”
