BUCKS COUNTY, PA – Kennedy Democrats, a progressive
political organization dedicated to building infrastructure for the
state by electing Democrats up and down the ballot in Pennsylvania,
released the following statement endorsing President Biden after a
challenger appropriated the organization’s name while on the stump.
Scott Wallace, who co-founded Kennedy Democrats alongside former
Congressman and Army Under Secretary Patrick Murphy, stated the
following about their unequivocal support for President Biden to get a
second term next year:
“To be clear, Kennedy Democrats 100 percent supports the reelection of
President Joe Biden. Though our organization's name has recently been
invoked as a slogan for a candidate seeking to defeat President Biden,
we believe President Biden has produced a spectacular record of
accomplishment, much of it through strong bipartisan legislative
consensus, delivering huge tangible benefits for everyday Americans.
Most recently, his leadership saved us -- and the world economy -- from
the catastrophic effects of a default on our national debt, and the
Supreme Court's head-spinning judicial activism in decimating the rights
and freedoms of Americans reminds us of the extraordinarily high stakes
in next November's elections. Our nation desperately needs to continue
this leadership to strengthen our economy, responsibly balance spending
and revenues, and protect our freedoms and our planet. To us, President
Biden categorically deserves reelection.
Kennedy Democrats
remain united with our friends in our commitment to elect progressive
Democrats in Pennsylvania in the mold of JFK, his two brothers who
served in the US Senate, and other Kennedys in the US House."
Kennedy Democrats launched in 2019 to elect a new generation of
Democrats outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and deepen the
political bench for Pennsylvania. The group has raised hundreds of
thousands of dollars for candidates across Pennsylvania and will
continue supporting candidates in addition to President Joe Biden in
next year’s election.
