Democratic Party of Wisconsin:
U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-2):
“I thank President Biden for his tremendous service to this country. He has been a tremendously effective president, from getting us out of COVID to reinvigorating the economy. His progressive accomplishments have been helpful to everyday Americans in my district. His announcement puts his country over his own ambition, making him truly a fire-breathing, flying unicorn by Washington DC standards.
“On the other side of the coin, the Republican party just re-nominated a 34-time convicted felon, sexual abuser, and author of Project 2025 to be on the ballot. A twice-impeached insurrectionist should never go anywhere near the White House. Moreover, he would be the oldest and most unstable man ever to occupy the Oval Office. I call on the Republican party to have the necessary discussion about Donald Trump stepping aside and letting a new generation run for office.
“President Biden has always put the interests of the nation and the people he serves first. Today, he continued that legacy of humble leadership.
“The investments in infrastructure by the Biden Administration will benefit Wisconsin for generations to come. In addition, his support for strengthening our democracy, expanding affordable health care, and protecting the right to choose; give us a road map for our continued efforts to create a more perfect union.”
