“Tonight President Biden called on us to unite to save our democracy, and made us grateful once again that we have a president who understands that love of country takes precedence over personal ambition. The President spoke movingly about passing the torch to another generation and about the need for fresh voices in leadership, and we are excited to see that future dawn with the opportunity ahead for Vice President Harris and so many other talented Americans. He made it clear that he will use the next six months to continue making progress for the American people, strengthening the economy, defending our rights, reforming our highest court and reinforcing ties with allies abroad.
