Better Elections Now! proudly thanks and praises President Joe Biden for his adept leadership and dedication to the American people throughout his presidency. Under his administration, the United States has seen substantial progress across various critical areas, and we are deeply appreciative of his steadfast commitment to democracy, fairness, and prosperity for all.
Since taking office in January 2021, President Biden has led the country through unprecedented challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, economic recovery, and a highly polarized political climate. His leadership has been characterized by an unwavering focus on economic growth, job creation, climate action, and improving the lives of working Americans.
Key Accomplishments:
1. Robust Economic Recovery:
Under President Biden’s American Rescue Plan, the United States saw one of the most rapid economic recoveries from the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan delivered $1.9 trillion in relief to individuals, small businesses, and state governments, providing a critical lifeline for millions of Americans. This resulted in strong GDP growth and a dramatic reduction in unemployment from pandemic highs.
2. Job Creation and Record Employment:
Through the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, President Biden delivered historic investments in the nation's infrastructure, creating millions of jobs. By 2023, the unemployment rate had fallen to near-record lows, and more Americans were working than at any point in the past decade. His administration also focused on promoting manufacturing and green energy sectors, helping revitalize key industries.
3. Inflation Reduction and Wage Growth:
President Biden took decisive steps to combat inflation through targeted legislation, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The law focused on reducing prescription drug costs, lowering healthcare premiums, and investing in renewable energy to bring down long-term energy costs. Under his leadership, wages rose, particularly for lower-income workers, helping millions of Americans keep pace with rising costs.
4. Climate Leadership:
President Biden re-established the United States as a global leader in combating climate change, bringing the country back into the Paris Climate Agreement. His administration made historic investments in renewable energy and environmental justice, positioning the U.S. to meet ambitious emissions reduction targets. The Inflation Reduction Act alone dedicated billions to clean energy technologies, electrification, and climate resilience.
5. Health Care and Lower Prescription Costs:
Expanding access to affordable healthcare was a key priority for President Biden. Under his leadership, millions more Americans gained access to health insurance through the expansion of the Affordable Care Act. Additionally, his administration succeeded in passing reforms to reduce prescription drug prices, allowing Medicare to negotiate prices for the first time, a historic victory for American seniors.
6. Restoration of Democracy and Voting Rights:
President Biden’s administration worked diligently to protect and expand voting rights, and he has been a staunch advocate for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act. His leadership has reinforced the value of every American’s vote and the importance of free and fair elections in maintaining the strength of our democracy.
Better Elections Now! applauds President Biden for his service and accomplishments. His policies have not only helped drive economic recovery but have also strengthened democracy, bolstered the middle class, and ensured a more equitable and sustainable future. We look forward to continuing to work toward fairer, more transparent elections in line with the values that President Biden has championed throughout his time in office.
