WOW. There is a golf cart parade for Kamala Harris at The Villages that spans over FOUR miles long right now. Floridians are turning out like never before & this is why Donald Trump is running scared. Truly amazing.

I am voting for Joe Biden for all these reasons and more. I prefer a President who values the rights of women, who cares about our climate crisis, who treats people with respect and dignity and will protect our democracy.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

In 2020, one of the main reasons I voted for Joe Biden was because I wanted trump out of office.

PERIOD.

Don't get me wrong: I knew Joe was a good guy, and he had a ton of useful experience in politics as well as in the White House, but he wasn't my first choice, and I wasn't expecting much.

But NOW I'm voting for Biden in November mainly because he blew my expectations of him all the way out of the damn water.

He's already the most legislatively successful President in the modern era, having signed key consequential bills into law, like the Infrastructure bill, the PACT Act, the CHIPs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Now, millions of Americans have insulin capped at $35/month.

The infrastructure bill is so good that Republicans who voted against it are clamoring to take credit for the funds going into their states.

He recovered and created a total of 15 million jobs. The last time unemployment was under 4% this long, we put a man on the moon for the first time.

Here's a new one, that not a lot of people are talking about, but it's a BFD: if you've ever had a flight delayed for hours or canceled, or lost your luggage, you'll love this: automatic compensation, within 20 days, and you don't even have to spend hours on the phone to make it happen.

He's gone after bullshit junk fees that companies charge us, death by a thousand cuts of mystery, mounting fees.

I prefer my President to be hard-working, compassionate, intelligent, and thoughtful.

I prefer my President to respect our NATO alliances, and the role we play in the world.

I prefer my President to respect our fallen soldiers, and not to see them as "suckers and losers."

I prefer my President who wants to leave the world, and his office, in better shape than he found it.

I prefer President Biden. 🙏💪

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

It's become too easy to skip over the obvious but staggering point about '24, partly because none of the remaining @GOP candidates and all too few of the party's elected leaders are willing make it:
The Republican Party is steaming toward nominating a candidate for POTUS who is facing 4 criminal indictments, including one for plotting to overturn a free and fair election.
He very well could be a convicted felon by the Republican convention in July.
And he could win!
We should not lose sight of the meaning of this.
It would be a stunning rebuke of the rules, norms, laws and institutions upon which our democracy is founded and would have profound implications for the future.

This is not OK. Praying for this community AND every human—young and old—who will once again be asking “what if it was my school/grocery store or place of worship?” over the days ahead!
