Democratic Party of Wisconsin Statement on President Biden’s State of the Union Address

MADISON, Wis. — Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler released the following statement in response to President Biden’s State of the Union address:

“Tonight, President Biden proved once again that he is the leader Wisconsinites need and deserve. The contrast couldn’t be clearer between President Biden’s vision for our country—and the results he’s delivered toward realizing that dream—and Donald Trump’s menacing vision of retribution and chaos. While President Biden is focused on bettering the lives of Wisconsin families and defending their freedoms, Trump’s top priority is ripping away Americans’ rights and security. As Trump doubles down on his pledge to be a ‘dictator on day one’ and make the wealthy richer off the backs of working families, President Biden remains committed to defending our democracy, building our economy from the bottom up and middle out, and making sure the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share.

“The stakes of this election are potentially cataclysmic. Wisconsinites know this all too well. Together, we’ve faced down attacks on our democracy, health care, and basic freedoms, and we know the only way to keep building on all the progress we’ve made is by reelecting President Biden and Vice President Harris to a second term this November.”
