America owes a deep debt of gratitude to Joe Biden for his historic leadership. …. In 2020, he saved American democracy by beating Donald Trump, and he has led one of the most successful Presidential administrations in history. I am behind Vice President Harris one-hundred percent.

U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Seattle

President Joe Biden has been the most progressive and effective President on domestic and economic policy in my lifetime. … I applaud his full-throated endorsement of Vice President Harris to be our Democratic nominee who will continue President Biden’s legacy, defeat Donald Trump, win the House and the Senate and defend our rights and freedoms.
