Joe Biden presidential campaign, 2024

️Mon Mar 11 2024

Joe Biden ended his presidential campaign on July 21, 2024.

“	I know America. I know we're good and decent people. I know we're still a country that believes in honesty and respect, and treating each other with dignity. That we're a nation where we give hate no safe harbor. We believe that everyone is equal, that everyone should be given a fair shot to succeed in this country. Every generation of Americans have faced a moment when they have to defend democracy. Stand up for our personal freedom. Stand up for the right to vote and our civil rights. And this is our moment.^[1]	”
—Joe Biden (April 2023)^[2]

Joe Biden (D) was the 46th president of the United States. Biden announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on April 25, 2023.^[3] Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee on March 12, 2024, after reaching the estimated majority delegate threshold.

Biden withdrew from the presidential race on July 21, 2024. In a statement he said, "My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this."^[4]

Biden won the 2020 presidential election on November 3, 2020, with 306 electoral votes. Biden ran with U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D) as his running mate.^[5]^[6]

Biden's campaign highlighted the work of his administration, including the creation of new jobs, the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 and the United States Chips and Science Act, and the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that addressed climate change and allowed Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices.^[7] Click here to read more about the Biden administration.

A Biden campaign ad outlined his policy priorities for a second term, saying he'd work to make childcare and elder care more accessible, protect Social Security and Medicare, enact a minimum tax for billionaires, codify the right to abortion, ban assault weapons, and support voting rights.^[7] He criticized the Republican Party, saying, "MAGA extremists are [...] cutting Social Security that you paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy, dictating what healthcare decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love. All while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote."^[8]

Biden represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate from 1973 to 2009 before serving as vice president under President Barack Obama (D) from 2009 to 2017.^[9] Click here to read more about Biden's biography.

Wade, and that Trump would ban abortion between six and ten weeks.

Biden highlighted his ceasefire and hostage release proposal to end the Israel-Hamas war, and said the U.S. was the biggest supporter of Israel in the world, but certain weapons should not be used in population centers. Biden said Trump encouraged protesters to breach the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and that Trump’s pending legal cases were a problem. Biden said his administration saw record Black-owned businesses, record low Black unemployment, addressed housing segregation, and improved the Public Loan Service Forgiveness program. Biden said Trump caused inflation due to his malfeasance in the pandemic response. Biden said he signed the most extensive climate change legislation in history, started the Climate Corps, and would cut pollution in half by 2035. Biden said he would tax individuals making more than $400,000 and use the funds to make Social Security solvent.

In response to a question about his age, Biden said to look at his record and highlighted the creation of new manufacturing jobs.

Policies from Biden's campaign website as of July 18, 2024, are excerpted below.

“

PROTECTING AND STRENGTHENING OUR DEMOCRACY
Our democracy and our freedoms are at stake in this election. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are committed to strengthening our democracy and protecting our freedoms, and we can count on them to stand up to the extremists who undermine our Constitution to increase their own power. Joe and Kamala believe in a government of the people, by the people, and for the people—that is what they work for every single day.

Donald Trump is a dangerous threat to our democracy. He tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election after he lost, encouraging an angry mob to attack the Capitol on January 6, where they violently assaulted police officers and attempted to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. He calls those who attacked the Capitol “patriots” and “hostages.” If elected to a second term, he has promised to pardon the January 6 insurrectionists. Now he is running to regain power, punish his enemies, and silence his opponents. After being criminally convicted by a jury of his peers, he is attacking the American judicial system, claiming there will be a “bloodbath” if he loses and promising to be a dictator on “day one”—even calling for the “termination” of the Constitution.

GROWING THE MIDDLE CLASS
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are rebuilding the backbone of America—a strong, inclusive middle class—after Donald Trump rigged the economy for rich people like himself. After Trump left office with the worst jobs record since the Great Depression, Joe and Kamala brought us back from the brink, creating more than 15.5 million jobs and a record number of small businesses. They worked across the aisle to pass historic legislation that is creating good-paying American jobs, rebuilding America’s infrastructure, and bringing manufacturing back home. They are running to finish the job and ensure that every American gets a fair shot at the American Dream.

Donald Trump is running to rig the economy for himself and his ultra-wealthy friends, while the middle class suffers. During his four years in office, the United States lost nearly 3 million jobs—the worst job record of any president in modern American history—and he rigged the economy for the wealthy and big corporations at the expense of Main Street businesses. The billionaires funding Trump’s campaign know that if he is elected to a second term, he will give them more tax breaks while he cuts Social Security and Medicare and seeks to “terminate” the Affordable Care Act.

FIGHTING TO LOWER COSTS FOR WORKING FAMILIES
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris believe that prices are still too high for working families—that’s why their number-one priority is fighting to lower costs for you. They have already lowered and capped prescription drug costs for seniors and others on Medicare, and they’re saving working families billions by cracking down on unfair junk fees charged by banks, credit card companies, and airlines. They also know there is a lot more to do—that’s why they will lower drug costs for all Americans, make renting and buying a home more affordable, and give tax cuts to middle-class families—a sharp contrast with Donald Trump, who will give handouts to billionaires and big corporations. Joe and Kamala will continue their fight to crack down on price gouging that pads the profits of big corporations at your expense.

Donald Trump wants to rig the economy for himself and his ultra-wealthy friends while raising costs for working families by cutting Social Security, eliminating the Affordable Care Act, and repealing limits on drug costs. Trump will allow Wall Street to rip off renters, side with Big Oil as they raise gas prices, give in to Big Pharma and raise the price of prescription drugs, and let big corporations take advantage of hard working Americans. And he will raise the prices of household goods, from groceries to clothing to medicines—imposing a radical tariff policy that creates a tax on middle-class families of $8,300 a year. Experts agree: a second Trump presidency will increase inflation and make life more expensive for working families.

BUILDING A FAIRER TAX SYSTEM THAT WORKS FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris believe that no billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than a school teacher or a firefighter. That’s why their tax plan rewards work, not wealth. Despite Republican opposition, they passed historic legislation to make our tax code fairer, imposing a 15 percent corporate minimum tax and cracking down on wealthy tax cheats. Now they are fighting to give tax cuts to the middle class while making the ultra-wealthy and big corporations finally pay their fair share. Under their plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 will pay an additional penny in federal taxes.

Donald Trump believes the tax code should work for himself and his billionaire donors. He enacted a $2 trillion tax scam that overwhelmingly benefited the ultra-wealthy and the biggest corporations and exploded the national debt. He is promising another Billionaire Tax Break that will give a yearly $3.5 million handout per billionaire, create a roughly $1.5 trillion windfall for big corporations, and make it easier for wealthy tax cheats to avoid paying what they owe—all while he cuts Social Security and Medicare for regular people

MAKING HEALTH CARE MORE ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris believe health care is a right, not a privilege. Under their leadership, more Americans have health insurance than ever before, with huge increases in coverage for Black and Latino Americans. They strengthened the Affordable Care Act to lower premiums and expand access to affordable care, and they took on Big Pharma and won—capping the price of insulin at $35 a month and yearly out-of-pocket prescription drug costs at $2,000 for seniors and others on Medicare. They empowered Medicare to negotiate with drug companies to lower the cost of some of the most expensive drugs that cost seniors $3.4 billion annually. Now, they are fighting to expand affordable care, lower prescription drug prices for all Americans, and cap the price of insulin and out-of-pocket drug costs for everyone.

Donald Trump will increase health care costs and take away health care protections for nearly every American. He was one vote away from repealing the Affordable Care Act in his first term and said he will “terminate” the law if reelected. If Trump gets his way, more than 100 million Americans with pre-existing conditions could be denied coverage or charged thousands of dollars more for health insurance coverage, and a middle-class family could pay over $13,000 more on their annual premium. And, he will gut Medicare and repeal limits on drug costs to enrich his friends in Big Pharma.

FIGHTING TO RESTORE REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris believe that reproductive health care decisions should be made by women with their doctors, not politicians. After Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wade and ripped away nearly 50 years of women’s rights, Joe and Kamala took action to protect and strengthen reproductive health care access amid ongoing MAGA Republican attacks. This includes signing three executive orders to strengthen reproductive health care access, fighting for a woman’s right to emergency medical care, defending and expanding access to medication abortion, and strengthening access to birth control. Joe and Kamala are fighting to restore the protections of Roe—and they will never allow a national abortion ban to become law.

Donald Trump “proudly” overturned Roe and brags about unleashing extreme abortion bans across the country that are putting women’s lives at risk and threatening doctors with jail time. He has called these state abortion bans “a beautiful thing to watch” and said that women who have an abortion should be punished. If elected, Trump will ban abortion nationwide, and he refuses to support nationwide protection for IVF. His close allies’ Project 2025 proposal includes plans to attack reproductive health care in all 50 states without the help of Congress—including banning abortion, restricting access to birth control, and prosecuting and jailing women and doctors for sending or receiving abortion medication in the mail.^[13] ^[1]

Policy positions

The following policy positions were compiled from the candidate's official campaign website, editorials, speeches, and debates.

Immigration

In a campaign speech Biden said, "On my first day in office as President, I introduced a comprehensive plan to fix our immigration system, secure our border, provide a pathway for citizenship for DREAMers and their families — farmworkers, essential workers who helped us through the pandemic and are part of the fabric of our community." ^{[source, as of 2024-03-11]}

Economy

In a campaign speech Biden said, "Look at what we’ve been able to get done: 14 million new jobs — more jobs than any president has created in a four-year term; record economic growth — over 5 percent just the last quarter; unemployment under 4 percent for 20 months in a row, another record; the lowest inflation rate of any major economy on Earth; and we have more work to do." ^{[source, as of 2023-12-06]}

Gun regulation

In an op-ed Biden wrote, "I have already taken more meaningful executive action to reduce gun violence than any other president, and I will continue to pursue every legal and effective action. But my power is not absolute. Congress must act, including by banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, requiring gun owners to securely store their firearms, requiring background checks for all gun sales, and repealing gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability. We also need more governors and state legislators to take these steps." ^{[source, as of 2023-05-14]}

Foreign policy

In an op-ed Biden wrote, "The United States is the essential nation. We rally allies and partners to stand up to aggressors and make progress toward a brighter, more peaceful future. The world looks to us to solve the problems of our time. That is the duty of leadership, and America will lead. For if we walk away from the challenges of today, the risk of conflict could spread, and the costs to address them will only rise. We will not let that happen." ^{[source, as of 2023-11-18]}

Abortion

In a campaign speech Biden said, "If I have anything to do with it, I’m going to end up signing a law reinstating Roe v. Wade." ^{[source, as of 2023-11-01]}

Coronavirus response

In a campaign speech Biden said, "We vaccinated the vast bulk of America. We got through that pandemic with less than 2 million people being vaccinated when I came to office. Today, [270] million Americans have gotten COVID vaccine. We created a record 14 million new jobs — brand new jobs — to get the economy going strong again. And we passed the American Rescue Plan, which put $1,400 checks in people’s pockets at a time of enormous need. And on top of that, $300 checks per child per month in hardworking families in America and thousands of dollars for people’s pockets through a real crisis." ^{[source, as of 2024-01-30]}

Sex and gender issues

In a statement Biden said, "On my first day in office, I signed an Executive Order to strengthen civil rights protections for LGBTQI+ citizens in housing, health care, education, the criminal justice system, and more. We have made strides in ensuring that transgender and non-binary Americans can access accurate federal IDs and vital government services—from emergency homeless shelters to Social Security benefits. The Department of Justice is responding to discriminatory state laws that violate the rights and freedoms of LGBTQI+ youth and their families. And, I am proud to have appointed a historic number of proud LGBTQI+ public servants, including the first openly gay person to serve as a Cabinet Secretary, the first two openly transgender Americans to ever be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and the first openly lesbian American to achieve the rank of Ambassador. All of us have a responsibility to speak out and stand up against hate and violence in any form. When the rights of any group or individual are under attack, it endangers our own freedom, and the freedom of people everywhere." ^{[source, as of 2023-05-17]}

Infrastructure

In a campaign speech Biden said, "We passed [...] the biggest investment of rebuilding America’s infrastructure since his President Eisenhower’s Interstate Highway System. And, you know, roads, bridges, clean water, high-speed Internet, all — and cheap for people, available to people." ^{[source, as of 2023-12-05]}

Like millions of Americans who served on juries, this jury is chosen the same way every jury in America is chosen. It was a process that Donald Trump's attorney was part of. The jury heard five weeks of evidence. After careful deliberation, the jury reached a unanimous verdict. They found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts. Now he’ll be given the opportunity as he should to appeal that decision just like everyone else has that opportunity. That's how the American system of justice works.
