Joe Biden is a gracious, down to earth leader who has never forgotten where he came from. I’m so blessed to call him an ally, friend, and our President.
I share his confidence that VP Harris is the right person to continue to build on his legacy and their record of success.
Delegate Melissa Wells retweeted
There is only one person who has been shoulder-to-shoulder with @JoeBiden. We are excited that @KamalaHarris will run and Biden’s endorsement of her. We are confident that if nominated she will finish the job & continue to fight for the people who truly build & uphold our nation.

🚨UPDATE: President Biden just released the following statement:
“I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America: one where we save our democracy, protect our rights and freedoms, and create opportunity for everyone.
“The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win.”
What a great night celebrating our rising scholars with legislative scholarships . Pictured here is a room of future nurses, doctors, engineers, public health professionals, social workers, educators, data/tech/AI experts & more. They will contribute greatly to our communities!

As Chair of the Baltimore @citydelegation, I saw @reginatboyce champion this local legislation for 4 consecutive sessions. She worked diligently in the interim to build support and finally get this done. Incredibly disappointed to see her leadership erased from this coverage.

I'm saddened that our former governor continues to take credit for the federal funding a Democratic President/Congress provided states, and his party fought to end.
I'm saddened to see Maryland return to crushing deficits. In eight years, we turned a record deficit into a record surplus. Maryland can do it again, but we need to return to the playbook of common sense fiscal responsibility - not more spending and taxes.
