We’re in the teeth of the COVID-19 crisis right now, and this nation needs presidential leadership.
Leadership that is willing to model the steps we all should be taking in our own lives.
Our country is in the middle of a dramatic spike in COVID-19 cases. Please wear a mask, keep social distancing, and limit the size of any groups. It’s our patriotic duty as Americans.
When we build back better, we will do so with higher wages — including a $15 minimum wage — better benefits and stronger collective bargaining rights that you can raise a family on.
That’s how we will build back the middle class better than ever.
I’ve always loved joining commencements––the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice. Even if we can’t get together in person this year, Michelle and I are excited to celebrate the nationwide Class of 2020 and recognize this milestone with you and your loved ones.
Starting Friday, May 1, I am requiring all Maine people to wear cloth face coverings in public places where physical distancing is difficult to maintain, as recommended by the U.S. CDC. 1/
These remain difficult times and I want to acknowledge the quiet heroism of so many across the state working on the front lines of #coronavirus. I want each of you to know that your efforts make a difference. I am thankful that storms and power outages do not deter you.

I’d like to express my deepest appreciation for *everyone* who is on the front lines of #COVID19 across #maine. You are absolutely vital to our work and I thank you for being #inthearena. As Roosevelt said, the credit belongs to you.
Today the President approved my request for a major disaster declaration for the State of Maine, unlocking critical federal assistance for state agencies and municipalities in Maine. 1/
