This time last year, Republicans in Congress refused to join Democrats in passing the American Rescue Plan. At a time when our nation was hurting -- when folks were looking for reasons to hope -- Republicans let partisanship stand in the way of leadership.
Since then, millions of Americans have gotten their COVID-19 vaccinations. Unemployment has fallen at the fastest rate on record. And a recent analysis found the ARP led to four million additional jobs. The reason behind our recovery is clear, Jason: Democrats fought for -- and invested in -- the American people.
Our work is far from over. It's critical we continue to elect leaders who believe in the resilience and promise of this country. That's why I'm asking that you support the Democratic National Committee before its end-of-quarter deadline.
Make a $7 donation to the DNC before tonight's deadline to support Democrats running for office nationwide. I'm told that if just 54 more folks from Metuchen take action today, our party will meet its fundraising goal.
We are stronger today than we were a year ago, and I'm confident that we'll be stronger a year from now than we are today. Make no mistake, we would not be here were it not for our Democratic leaders at the local, state, and federal levels -- and the folks like you who helped elect them, Jason.
Thank you for being a part of this,
Joe
Joseph R. Biden Jr.
President of the United States
