Nebraska Democratic Party Statement on President Biden Stepping Down as the Democratic Party Presidential Nominee

LINCOLN, NE - The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issues the following statement on President Biden stepping down as the Democratic Party presidential nominee:

“The idea of building a more perfect union and a strong America for all is the foundation of our Democratic Party. President Biden led our party and our country out of the darkness of Covid and brought true resources to communities across Nebraska to build energy, strengthen Agriculture, and lay the foundation for major infrastructure projects like the Omaha airport, the largest solar project in the state in Platteview Solar in Yutan, along with daycare and healthcare facilities within the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

As a nation, we respect our elders. The jokes, laughter, and snide remarks lobbed at President Biden after 60 years of serving our nation were difficult and shameful these past few weeks. 

As Chair of our party, I deeply respect the President and acknowledge there is always a time for transition. 

We now focus on the process of our new nominee while staying laser-focused on electing Tony Vargas, protecting the NE2 electoral vote, and sending Democrats and independents back to the legislature to serve as a firewall against the state Republican’s radical and out-of-step policies like shifting more taxes to the middle class, disenfranchising voters, and destroying our public schools which are the foundation of our democracy.”
