Democratic Accomplishments and Commitments
President Biden and Democrats took on special interests and are lowering costs for working families, making big corporations begin to pay their fair share in taxes, and rebuilding our economy so it works better for the middle class. Under President Biden’s leadership, the economy has created over 14 million jobs, including over 800,000 American manufacturing jobs, and the unemployment rate is at 3.7%. Democrats have also delivered bipartisan legislation to fix our roads and bridges, ensure better health care for our veterans, and increase our competitiveness with China.

President Biden and Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which takes aggressive action to combat the existential crisis of climate change. These historic investments will help American families save every year on their energy bills while strengthening our energy security, creating jobs, and getting us closer to meeting our climate goals.

There’s more work to do, but President Biden’s plan to fight inflation and lower costs is working. We’re building an economy that works from the bottom up and the middle out, with a record of over 14 million jobs — a record that includes over 800,000 manufacturing jobs — created already under President Biden’s leadership.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris believe that prices are still too high for working families—that’s why their number-one priority is fighting to lower costs for you. They have already lowered and capped prescription drug costs for seniors and others on Medicare, and they’re saving working families billions by cracking down on unfair junk fees charged by banks, credit card companies, and airlines. They also know there is a lot more to do—that’s why they will lower drug costs for all Americans, make renting and buying a home more affordable, and give tax cuts to middle-class families—a sharp contrast with Donald Trump, who will give handouts to billionaires and big corporations. Joe and Kamala will continue their fight to crack down on price gouging that pads the profits of big corporations at your expense.

President Biden is committed to doing everything in his power to respond to Putin’s price hike at the pump, taking action to strengthen energy security, address supply, and lower costs.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are rebuilding the backbone of America—a strong, inclusive middle class—after Donald Trump rigged the economy for rich people like himself. After Trump left office with the worst jobs record since the Great Depression, Joe and Kamala brought us back from the brink, creating more than 15.5 million jobs and a record number of small businesses. They worked across the aisle to pass historic legislation that is creating good-paying American jobs, rebuilding America’s infrastructure, and bringing manufacturing back home. They are running to finish the job and ensure that every American gets a fair shot at the American Dream.

President Biden and Democrats took historic action with the Inflation Reduction Act to lower health care costs for American families and for the first time allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices with Big Pharma companies to lower costs for beneficiaries. The Inflation Reduction Act caps seniors’ out-of-pocket spending for prescription drugs at $2,000 per year and caps insulin prices for seniors on Medicare at $35 a month.

President Biden and Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act without a single Republican vote, which is lowering costs for working families like prescription drug prices and energy bills. Republicans have laid out plans that could raise costs and make inflation worse.

President Biden and Vice President Harris are committed to making this nation a place where LGBTQIA+ people can live openly, proudly, and freely. With the Respect for Marriage Act, President Biden signed historic bipartisan legislation protecting marriage for same-sex and interracial couples in federal law. Democrats will always fight to protect LGBTQIA+ rights in the face of unprecedented violence and discrimination.

The Inflation Reduction Act locks in lower health care premiums for millions of Americans, gives Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices with Big Pharma companies to lower costs for beneficiaries, and caps seniors’ out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs at $2,000 per year. Every Republican in Congress voted against lowering costs for life-saving prescription drugs.

Democrats want to codify Roe v. Wade into law to protect women’s freedom to make their own health care decisions, while extreme MAGA Republicans are working to ban abortion nationwide.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris believe that reproductive health care decisions should be made by women with their doctors, not politicians. After Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wade and ripped away nearly 50 years of women’s rights, Joe and Kamala took action to protect and strengthen reproductive health care access amid ongoing MAGA Republican attacks. This includes signing three executive orders to strengthen reproductive health care access, fighting for a woman’s right to emergency medical care, defending and expanding access to medication abortion, and strengthening access to birth control. Joe and Kamala are fighting to restore the protections of Roe—and they will never allow a national abortion ban to become law.
