Bennet Statement on Biden Announcement

Denver - Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the following statement:

"America is a better, stronger country because of President Biden's decades of public service and dedication to the American Dream.

"Four years ago, President Biden was the only person in the country who could beat Donald Trump. He overcame Trump's chaos and contempt for our nation's long-held commitment to pluralism, civil rights, and the rule of law. He rejected Ronald Reagan's failed trickle-down economics, and championed working American families.

"President Biden deserves all honor for his record in office. In one of his first acts, he expanded the Child Tax Credit - the largest investment in children and working families in generations. He passed the most significant infrastructure bill since President Eisenhower to rebuild our roads, bridges, and airports, and brought home America's semiconductor industry - creating thousands of high-paying jobs. He took on Big Pharma to curb drug prices and won, and passed the most significant climate bill in world history. President Biden not only restored our fractured alliances but made them stronger. He reinvigorated democracy around the world, and made America safer in the process.

"President Biden embodies the decency, integrity, and leadership to which all of us in public service should aspire.

"Today, we owe President Biden a debt of gratitude that we may never be able to repay. We may not know what comes next, but by passing the torch to a new standard bearer, President Biden has again given us the chance to beat Donald Trump and give our children the future they deserve. Thank you, President Biden."
