The Issue

The election of 2024 is too important for the American people to be forced to choose between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, again. Biden has done a good job restoring some normalcy after the Trump years, and achieved some legislative wins, but that is not enough to justify four more years. He lacks the dynamic and energetic leadership to meet the challenges we face and move the country forward in 2025 and beyond. His age is too great a risk (see Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Dianne Feinstein, Mitch McConnell) when so much is at stake. Biden should do the honorable thing: withdraw from the race to allow Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan to become the Democratic nominee. She is a charismatic leader, a proven political winner, a fighter and a straight shooter. She can rally the women's vote critical to victory in 2024 and to protecting women's rights to make medical decisions about their bodies. She has shown that she can draw votes from Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Woe be to the GOP if they try to mess with her. She has often been named as a potential presidential candidate in 2028, but that's too late, we can't wait. We want Gretch now!
