Brooklyn, NY - Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn issues the following statement on President Joseph R. Biden today not seeking reelection and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate:
“President Joe Biden has steadfastly served as an exemplary public servant for the betterment of our country for over five decades. As our President, Biden has greatly advanced our nation forward; achieving immense progress uplifting all Americans through his historic accomplishments and astute leadership.
The Brooklyn Democratic Party respects President Biden’s selfless decision to drop out of the Presidential Election as we focus on defeating ex-President Trump, and securing a Democratic-controlled Congress and Senate.
The Brooklyn Democratic Party wholeheartedly echoes Biden’s endorsement of Harris as our next President, and we’re confident she’ll be an “extraordinary partner” to keep building on our strongest economy in decades, defending democracy, and improving our quality-of-life—from combating gun violence, to advancing women’s rights, to myriad more pressing issues facing Americans.
Vice President Kamala Harris is a fierce fighter with a proven progressive track record, deep experience in the Oval Office, and the determined drive to defeat Trump at the ballot box.
As not only the first female, but also the first Black and first South Asian American VP, Harris will continue to break boundaries and build a better nation leading the White House. As our first Party Chair who is a woman of color, an elected official, and a Democratic Presidential Delegate, Kamala has my vote for a fairer and stronger future, as she continues to ensure the promises of our country for all people.”
