(AURN NEWS) — As pressure mounts on President Joe Biden to bow out of the 2024 race, some supporters are still standing firmly behind him, citing his economic achievements and contrasting his policies with those of his opponent, former President Donald Trump. Morgan Harper, a Biden delegate from Ohio, defended the president’s record in a recent interview with AURN News, highlighting what she sees as concrete economic benefits for average Americans under his administration.
“This president has an incredible record of actually reorienting the economics of this country to benefit our community,” Harper said. She pointed to policies like lowering hearing aid costs and tackling inflated housing prices as examples of the administration’s efforts to challenge big business and bring economic gains to more people.
Harper, 41, addressed concerns about Biden’s age, suggesting that despite generational differences, she believes the president has effectively tackled issues important to millennials who came of age during tumultuous times like 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.
“I know it could be hard to believe that actually, we’ve seen from somebody who is not at all part of our generation… really addressing some of the damage that was done during the past 20 years, but it’s absolutely the truth,” Harper stated.
The delegate’s defense comes as prominent Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have reportedly called for Biden to step aside. However, Harper believes voters should not be “on the fence” about supporting Biden.
“Another Donald Trump administration is going to hurt our economic prospects,” Harper warned. She claimed Trump would give “a free pass” to big business if re-elected. Biden supporters like Harper are working to highlight what they see as the president’s accomplishments and the stakes of the upcoming election in an effort to keep him on the ballot.
