We have a pro-union president in office right now. We have a party that fights and protects unions. We have a party that protects women\u2019s rights to choose. We have a party that\u2019s proven they can lower health care costs, lower prescription drug costs, expand health coverage,\u201d <strong>said U.S. Senator Cory Booker. <\/strong>\u201cThis is a stark choice folks between having health care and not. Between having reproductive rights and not. Between having affordable prescription drugs and not between having retirement security and not. But when it comes to the sacred American democracy, between our elections and preserving who we are, we now know that there is a team that believes the only way we will support the outcome of this election is if we win and if we lose we will use every bit of resources and power we do to subvert the ultimate will of the people, and that is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you&#8217;re a working person out there and you\u2019re considering this question of, \u2018who do I vote for,\u2019 I think you should ask yourself: Does this Project 2025 agenda make my life better if it were to become law? Would it make my life better? [\u2026] You\u2019ve seen workers, they\u2019re rising up all across this country because they\u2019re fed up,\u201d <strong>said AFL\u2013CIO President Liz Shuler. <\/strong>\u201cI believe when working people have the facts and they see the stark choices that we&#8217;ve been talking about this morning, we are going to invest in ourselves. We are going to invest in our future, and we are going to support Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who have a clear record and stand with working people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s Republican Party will always choose big, greedy anti-union extremists over the working men and women of America,\u201d <strong>said Biden-Harris 2024 Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks. <\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve witnessed the greatest economic recovery that this nation has ever seen, and that\u2019s all thanks to the hard work of President Biden. Donald Trump called Milwaukee horrible, but the reality is there\u2019s nothing more horrible than his vision for America. There\u2019s only one ticket with the most pro-union, pro-worker president that this country has ever seen, and that is the Democratic ticket with President Biden and Vice President Harris. And with the American people\u2019s support this November, the Biden-Harris administration will continue to fight for hardworking families for four more years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden is building the economy from the bottom up and the middle out. President Biden is taking on corporate greed and fighting to bring down costs. He faced down the biggest, most arrogant special interest in the country, the big pharmaceutical companies, and brought down the price of insulin to $35 a month for people on Medicare. Now he wants to do the same for every American. That contrast is clear as day,\u201d <strong>said Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler. <\/strong>\u201cWe need a president who fights for working people, not for the ultra-billionaires, a president who\u2019s already expanded overtime protections, who\u2019s banned noncompete agreements, who\u2019s consistently fought and advocated for workers\u2019 rights, a president fighting to lower healthcare costs and expanding the Affordable Care Act. The last thing we need is a president who spent four years in office putting corporations first and the rest of us last, getting back into office to repeat the process on steroids.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in Milwaukee, U.S. Senator Cory Booker, AFL\u2013CIO President Liz Shuler, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler, and Biden-Harris 2024 Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks hosted a press conference calling out Donald Trump and J.D.
