Democratic Party chairs of seven critical battleground states have reaffirmed their support for President Joe Biden in an open letter, urging fellow Democrats to focus on beating former President Donald Trump. They argue that Democrats have a unified message that can beat Trump’s threat of dictatorship and giveaways to billionaires. The letter is signed by state chairs from key states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, which are likely to decide the 2024 election outcome.
Biden is facing calls from some congressional Democrats to drop out due to poor polling and a disastrous debate performance. Senate and House Democratic leaders have expressed concerns that Biden’s candidacy could harm Democrats’ chances in the upcoming election. However, Biden has maintained that he will not withdraw from the race.
The party chairs argue that Biden can defeat Trump if Democrats focus on contrasting the Democratic vision with the “MAGA nightmare.” They believe that voters see Biden as a fighter for working people, and that his agenda, including protecting access to abortion and expanding social programs, aligns with the majority of American voters.
As the final 100-day stretch of the election approaches, the party chairs are confident in Biden’s ability to win if Democrats put in the work. They emphasize the importance of highlighting the differences between Biden’s vision and Trump’s, and of focusing on actions that will have the biggest impact on winning the election. Despite the challenges, the party chairs remain steadfast in their support of Biden.
