President Biden Comes to Westchester
Governor Hochul welcomed President Biden to Westchester yesterday in a huge GOTV rally that drew more than 1,000 people.Biden is rallying Democrats across the country in advance of tomorrow’s midterm elections and his visit shows just how important turning out the base in Westchester is for Governor Hochul to win.
Per City and State, “Biden spent his roughly 30-minute speech highlighting the accomplishments of his administration and Democrats at the federal level, including the cancellation of up to $20,000 in student loan debt, the passage of the infrastructure bill, and reducing the national deficit. Like many speakers before him, Biden also took aim at Republicans as “election deniers” who pose a threat to democracy. “With these election deniers, there are only two outcomes for any election – either they win, or they were cheated,” Biden said.”
