CHICAGO, Ill. – Following President Biden’s third State of the Union Address, Illinois Gov. J-B Pritzker released a statement praising the president’s vision for the country’s future – one that respects individual freedoms, working families, America’s allies, and the fundamental values that built this country.
“The message is clear – together we can continue the historic progress of the last four years and create a future that lifts all communities and leaves no one behind,” Pritzker says.
“What has been accomplished under President Biden is nothing short of remarkable. Before Biden took office, our country was in the worst health crisis in history and our economy was in free fall. Today, nearly 15 million jobs have been created. Manufacturing jobs that had been shipped overseas by Donald Trump are returning home, seniors are benefiting from lower prescription drug prices, and working families have a tireless ally in the Oval Office. But as Biden made clear tonight, there is still so much work to be done,” Pritzker says.
The governor adds, “Under President Biden’s leadership, we can keep moving forward. We can ensure that every family feels the benefit of a growing economy, that every woman has her rights protected, and that the principles of our democracy remain strong. But in November, all that is at risk.”
Pritzker says Americans have a stark choice to make in the upcoming presidential election – with a chance to protect our rights, our freedoms, and our hard-fought progress, or a future that rips that away.
“If there’s one certain thing, it’s that Donald Trump cares not at all about everyday Americans. Trump is motivated only by his own political gain, even if it means selling out our families, our rights, and our country,” Pritzker says.
Tonight, @JoeBiden laid out a vision for the future of our nation—one that respects individual freedom, working families, our international allies & the values that built this republic.
Together we can continue the progress of the last 4 years & create a future that lifts all.
