Blog de Dunlap: Trump vs. Biden

Danielle, the State of the Union is this Thursday — President Biden's last SOTU address before the 2024 election.

My guest will be a student loan borrower and teacher from Massachusetts who had her student debt canceled thanks to this team's organizing and thanks to President Biden's efforts to improve the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

I'll be glad to celebrate and honor the progress President Biden has made on canceling student debt so far (nearly $138 billion in student debt has been canceled for almost 3.9 million borrowers through more than two dozen executive actions).

But I want to know what you're hoping to hear about at the State of the Union, too. Whether it's abortion access, student debt cancellation, the economy, our democracy, or international affairs, there's a lot to discuss as we gear up for this consequential election against Donald Trump.

Here's the way I see it: when the American people see their elected officials making positive changes that touch their lives, they're more likely to keep those leaders in office.

So when we have President Biden's record in office compared to Trump's, here's what we see:

Donald Trump has done two big things: Imposed an extremist Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade, and passed a giant tax break that was mostly sucked up by millionaires, billionaires, and giant corporations.
On the other hand, what does President Biden's record show? Well, he's got $35 insulin and Medicare drug price negotiations for the first time, canceling all that student loan debt, passing the biggest climate package in the history of the world (paid for by my 15% tax on billionaire corporations that this movement fought hard for), getting the IRS the resources it needs to create a free filing system target wealthy tax cheats. And a whole lot more.

We know that if the GOP gains any more power in November, they'll work to pass their extremist agenda and actively reverse all the progress we've made together. So I'm going to keep fighting with all I've got to keep Joe Biden in the White House.

You help shape what I fight for, which is why I want to hear from you right now:
