WASHINGTON — Stand Up America’s Founder and President, Sean Eldridge, issued the following statement after President Biden announced he would withdraw from the 2024 presidential race:

“We thank President Biden for his decades of public service and for leading the charge to save American democracy in 2020. By passing the torch, Biden is once again putting our democracy and the American people first—something Donald Trump is incapable of.

“As an organization that has spent the past seven years defending our democracy and standing up to the MAGA agenda, we have seen firsthand that Vice President Harris is a leader who can inspire millions of Americans and take on Donald Trump. As a senator and then as Vice President, she has led the charge to protect our fundamental freedoms, including voting rights and abortion access. We’re confident that she will do that again in this election and as President of the United States.

“We have a historic opportunity in November to elect a Democratic president and Congress who will act swiftly to protect voting rights and reproductive freedom nationwide, restore integrity to the Supreme Court, and build a brighter and more prosperous future for the American people. We are fired up to mobilize our two million members across the country to get out the vote, share the truth about the stakes of this election, and elect Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States.”
