President Joe Biden acknowledged Donald Trump’s expected nomination as the Republican candidate, emphasizing high stakes for democracy, personal freedoms, and the economy.
Biden’s team is aware of political challenges, including low approval ratings and discontent.
Exit polling in New Hampshire highlights concerns about immigration and the economy.
“It is now clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee. And my message to the country is the stakes could not be higher. Our Democracy. Our personal freedoms — from the right to choose to the right to vote. Our economy — which has seen the strongest recovery in the world since COVID. All are at stake. I want to thank all those who wrote my name in this evening in New Hampshire,” Biden stated.
“It was a historic demonstration of commitment to our democratic process. And I want to say to all those Independents and Republicans who share our commitment to core values of our nation — our Democracy, our personal freedoms, and an economy that gives everyone a fair shot — to join us as Americans,” the statement added.
“Let’s remember. We are the United States of America. And there is nothing — nothing — we can’t do if we do it together,” he added.
Vice President Kamala Harris has launched a nationwide tour advocating for reproductive freedoms.
“Freedom, I believe, is fundamental to the promise of America…and that includes the freedom to make decisions about one’s own body, not the government telling you what to do,” Harris said.
Her remarks — and the White House’s focus on abortion — come after the U.S. Supreme Court last year overturned Roe v. Wade, ruling that the issue should have always resided with individual states.
But according to exit polling done by CBS News during the New Hampshire primaries, the top issues for voters, by far, are the illegal immigration crisis along the country’s southern border and the economy.
“On the issues, the economy and immigration are the top issues for New Hampshire primary voters. These are the same issues that were most important to Iowa GOP caucus goers,” the outlet reported. “Immigration is a driver, particularly for Trump voters.”
A survey showed Trump leading Biden by seven points, with low job approval ratings for Biden.
In a ballot test with independent candidates, Trump leads with 42% support, followed by Biden at 33%.
