In an effort to uplift and motivate their supporters, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris expressed their gratitude to the generous donors who contributed to the Democratic Party during the recent election. Despite their loss to President-elect Donald Trump, the Democratic leaders urged their donors to stay hopeful and engaged in politics.
At the Democratic National Committee's holiday reception, Biden and Harris, along with their spouses, emphasized the importance of their donors' continued commitment to the party. With Republicans securing a significant victory in the election, it is crucial for the Democratic Party to regroup and strategize for the future. The election saw a total of $4.7 billion in donations from donors of all political backgrounds, making it one of the most expensive in history.
Biden shared a valuable lesson from his father, who always said that when you get knocked down, you must get back up. He reminded everyone that the true test of a person or a party is how quickly they can recover from a defeat. Harris, who stepped in as the party's presidential nominee after Biden ended his campaign in July, commended their donors for their unwavering support and belief in the Democratic Party. She acknowledged the countless events and personal efforts that went into raising an impressive $700 million.
"You rallied, you opened your homes, you reached out to your friends and family," Harris expressed, recognizing the donors' dedication and sacrifice. She also hinted at her future plans, as she considers another run for the White House. Harris emphasized the importance of connecting with people and reminding them of what is at stake in each election.
While acknowledging the disappointment of the recent loss, Biden urged his supporters to take pride in their achievements. He highlighted the administration's accomplishments, such as the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act, which saw a surge in federal environmental spending. These achievements would not have been possible without the support and contributions of their donors, according to Biden.
The President also reassured his donors that he intends to stay involved in party politics even after his term ends on January 20th. He expressed his confidence in Harris's future within the party, stating, "You're not going anywhere, kid. We aren't letting you." The Democratic leaders' remarks served as a reminder of the importance of their donors' contributions and the vital role they play in shaping the party's future. Together, they encouraged their supporters to remain engaged and continue fighting for the values and beliefs they hold dear.
