Biden-Harris 2024 has just launched Veterans and Military Families for Biden-Harris, a national organizing program to engage and mobilize millions of veterans and military families across the country.
First Lady Jill Biden kicked off the coalition launch with and event in Florida to highlight the clear contrast voters will face at the ballot box in November between: Joe Biden, who is fighting for our nation’s veterans, and Donald Trump, who only cares about himself and is willing to destroy the democracy that brave American service members put their lives on the line to protect.
As a military father, Joe Biden believes we have a sacred obligation to care for our nation’s service members and their families, and as president, he’s delivered major progress:
- Delivered health care to more veterans than ever before and secured the most significant expansion of benefits and services in more than 30 years for veterans impacted by toxic exposures.
- Boosted economic security, achieving a record low veteran unemployment rate, helping veterans obtain affordable housing, and fighting to lower costs for military families.
- Protected veterans’ rights and freedoms, expanding reproductive services through the VA and supporting LGBTQ+ veterans including by ending Trump’s ban on transgender service members in the military.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump repeatedly disrespects our brave men and women in uniform and as president, he failed our nation’s service members. He called those who made the ultimate sacrifice “suckers” and “loser” and tried to cut veterans’ services and benefits, while handing out tax giveaways to billionaires and big corporations.
The truth is, Trump’s Project 2025 agenda will reduce veterans’ benefits and replace independent civil servants in the VA with extreme MAGA loyalists. Voters must head the warnings of top military leaders, including all 10 living former Secretaries of Defense, who have warned of Trump’s threat to democracy and rebuked his attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
