STATEMENT: Michigan Dems Chair Praises Biden’s Decades of Service to American People

Chair Barnes applauds President Biden for his strong, empathetic leadership

LANSING — With President Biden’s decision to end his candidacy, Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Lavora Barnes released the following statement celebrating President Biden’s lifelong commitment to Michiganders and Americans:

“Since 1972, Joe Biden has been a faithful public servant to this country – as a senator, vice president, and now as president. Even in the face of devastating loss and hardship, he has been a model to the nation of what it means to lead with grace, empathy, and kindness. 

“Whether it was taking on Big Pharma, walking the picket line with striking auto workers fighting for better wages, or bolstering job creation and growing our economy, President Biden has spent the last three years delivering for Michiganders and all Americans. He shepherded our nation through a global pandemic, prioritizing the health and safety of our communities above all else. He never wavered in his commitment to reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ equality, and the fight to end gun violence. 

“President Biden has always been there for Michigan, and Michigan Democrats will always be grateful for his vision of a country that sets aside its differences and finds hope in a brighter future, together.

“Mr. President, you have been our fearless leader, our friend, and an incredible public servant — and we can never thank you enough.”
