Donald Trump said he was going to stand up to Big Pharma and lower the cost of prescription drugs—instead, he bowed down.

President @JoeBiden and I took on Big Pharma and have capped the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month.

The contrast is clear.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Hey Ted 👋🏽 You know I’m not even eligible to run for president. Maybe it’s time to brush up on the Constitution.

While you’re supporting Donald Trump, a candidate who traffics in hate and called your wife ugly—I’m supporting a capable and qualified candidate to lead our country.

You should sit this one out.

[Karine Jean-Pierre @K_JeanPierre]

President Biden will go down in history as one of our greatest Presidents. Accomplishing more in 4 years than many accomplished in 8 years. He is also an honorable man. A decent man. And a person who has always put the country first.

[Al Gore @algore]

As President, Joe Biden has been — and is — an exceptional leader. He is responsible for developing and signing the most significant investment in climate solutions into law. He helped our nation navigate a global pandemic, ushered in an economic recovery that has created good-paying jobs for Americans across the country, and restored America’s standing abroad.

I know that he is not done delivering for the American people and will continue to serve this nation with wisdom and dignity in the coming months. In paving the way for a new generation of leadership, President Biden’s decision is a fitting testament to his profoundly consequential career.

I applaud his selfless decision.

GOP Sen. Mitt Romney: “I will not be voting for President Trump. I must admit that I find sexual assault to be a line I will not cross in the people I select to be my president.”

And I thank you for having the humility to do that today. You were the guy we needed in 2020, but not the guy we need in 2024.

It���s been an honor to have you serve as my president.

Sincerely,

Brian Lin, MD

Dear @JoeBiden,

I am an Emergency Medicine physician. In almost two decades of doing this job, I’ve thrown my back out a few times while pulling on dislocated hips to help get elderly patients out of excruciating pain;

[Brian Lin, MD, FACEP @bwlin720]

However, I do believe I know what it feels like to make sacrifices and put my own needs, desires, and ego aside to see the principles I believe in prevail.

[Brian Lin, MD, FACEP @bwlin720]

Also: I’m no saint, I’ve made a ton of mistakes in my life, and I’ve been blessed with a lot of privilege, too.

[Brian Lin, MD, FACEP @bwlin720]

I’ve knelt on the floor examining infected ulcers on the feet of unhoused people while breathing through my mouth to keep myself from vomiting; and I’ve stayed late after many shifts to make sure patients I’ve newly diagnosed with cancer have all of their questions answered.
