MADISON, WI – Congressman Mark Pocan (WI-02) released the following statement regarding the announcement that President Biden is withdrawing from the presidential race:
“I thank President Biden for his tremendous service to this country. He has been a tremendously effective president, from getting us out of COVID to reinvigorating the economy. His progressive accomplishments have been helpful to everyday Americans in my district. His announcement puts his country over his own ambition, making him truly a fire-breathing, flying unicorn by Washington DC standards.
“On the other side of the coin, the Republican party just re-nominated a 34-time convicted felon, sexual abuser, and author of Project 2025 to be on the ballot. A twice-impeached insurrectionist should never go anywhere near the White House. Moreover, he would be the oldest and most unstable man ever to occupy the Oval Office. I call on the Republican party to have the necessary discussion about Donald Trump stepping aside and letting a new generation run for office.
“I look forward to supporting Vice President Harris in her bid to be the nominee of our party. “
