Progressive advocacy group Indivisible endorsing Biden reelection bid

Indivisible Action, a progressive PAC, has announced it will endorse President Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign. 

In a news release, Indivisible Action said it made its decision to support Biden’s reelection bid following a two-week voting period where the PAC’s leaders, group members and unaffiliated activists cast their vote. 

About 97 percent of the members who participated in the voting period cast their votes for Biden, affirming the group’s endorsement of his campaign. 

“We are so proud to make this endorsement official today. In his first term, President Biden has led the country through a perilous period, while also delivering on transformational policies on climate and economic opportunity with the slimmest congressional majorities. President Biden has restored decency and leadership to the White House, and perhaps most importantly, he has been a champion for democracy and choice in the face of MAGA extremism that has worked to rollback rights and personal freedoms at every turn,” Indivisible Action co-executive director Leah Greenberg said in a statement. 

Greenberg also said that with their endorsement of Biden’s reelection campaign, they’re doing whatever it takes “to reelect Joe Biden and to send the forces of Donald Trump and MAGA extremism back to the dustbin of history.” 

“Everything we care about is on the ballot next November: our bodily autonomy, economic and climate justice, and the fate of democracy itself,” Greenberg added. We can and will use our people power to win: to reelect Joe Biden, expand our majorities, and reclaim our rights and democracy. That work starts here.”

“President Biden and Vice President Harris are honored to be endorsed by Indivisible, one of the most active and engaged grassroots organizations in the United States,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement. 

“To win in 2024, the president needs a diverse and broad coalition of voters in every corner of the country, and the organizing power of groups like Indivisible will be critical as we continue to build unprecedented support for President Biden and Vice President Harris to finish the job for the American people.”

The endorsement comes months after Biden announced plans to run for reelection in 2024, amid speculation on the matter. 

Biden recently took a shot at his predecessor, former President Trump, on Monday on his jobs and benefits record under his own administration. Trump, who announced his third presidential campaign last November, is currently the front-runner among the pack of 2024 GOP hopefuls despite facing a slew of legal challenges and indictments. 

“The guy who held this job before me was just one of two presidents in history … left office with fewer jobs in America than when he got elected office,” Biden said at the annual Tri-State Labor Day Parade in Philadelphia.

“When the last guy was here, you were shipping jobs to China. Now, we’re bringing jobs home from China,” Biden added. “When the last guy was here, your pensions were at risk; we helped save millions of pensions with your help.”
