Reproductive Freedom for All Arizona Statement on Endorsement of Vice President Harris, as President Biden Exits Race
Phoenix, AZ — Today, as President Joe Biden announced his exit from the 2024 presidential race, Reproductive Freedom for All extended its deepest gratitude to President Biden for his long-standing commitment to reproductive freedom and announced its endorsement of Vice President Harris for president.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement in response:
“President Biden and Vice President Harris have fought by our movement’s side to protect and expand reproductive freedom, and our country is stronger and more unified because of their commitment to our fundamental rights and the American people. There is no doubt that President Biden’s legacy will be remembered as one of the most effective presidents in American history, with an unparalleled commitment to doing what’s best for our country. We have deep gratitude for all he has done to fight for our fundamental freedoms throughout his long career and in this race.
Our mission in this race has been and will continue to be to beat Donald Trump—and Vice President Harris is the best candidate to do that. We must unite behind her as the Democratic nominee. Vice President Harris has shown the American people that she is the leader we need in this moment to go toe to toe with Donald Trump and stop a Trump-Vance administration from ending our fundamental rights and democracy. There is nobody who has fought as hard for abortion rights and access, and we are proud to endorse her in this race.”
Reproductive Freedom for All Director of Arizona Campaigns Athena Salman released the following statement:
“We will always be grateful for President Biden’s unwavering commitment to reproductive freedom. The stakes in Arizona and nationwide have never been higher, and Reproductive Freedom for All Arizona is proud to mobilize our members to elect Vice President Kamala Harris as president of the United States. Kamala Harris has done everything in her power to fight for reproductive freedom while Donald Trump is responsible for the overturn of Roe, which led to 21 states banning abortion–including Arizona. There are 107 days until the election and we are ready to mobilize and do everything we can to defeat Donald Trump and elect Kamala Harris.”
