Biden for President Statement on Vice President Pence’s Visit to Minnesota
Today, as Vice President Mike Pence travels to Duluth, Minnesota Biden for President Deputy Campaign Manager and Communications Director Kate Bedingfield released the following statement:
“Minnesotans who tuned into the Republican convention heard an endless parade of divisive rhetoric and fear-mongering -- but no strategy for getting control of a pandemic that has infected more than 72,000 Minnesotans and left too many without a job. President Trump and Vice President Pence, unable to make an affirmative case for their re-election, are now trying to change the subject and distract from their record of failing Minnesota and the country at a moment when many of our communities are hurting. We need a President and Vice President who can unite the country and provide real leadership -- from getting control of the virus, to building back our economy better than it was before, to rooting out systemic racism from our laws, policies, institutions, and hearts. That is what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will do for Minnesotans, and that’s what’s at stake in this election.”
