Dave Min’s Statement on President Biden’s Decision

IRVINE, CA —Dave Min made this statement following President Biden’s decision to exit the Presidential race:

“I am grateful to President Biden for his decades of service to our country. The impacts of his life’s work, including his term as President, will be felt for generations to come. I am sure his decision to step aside was not an easy one, but it is one that is characteristic of his history of serving the public good. We must defeat Donald Trump and his radical agenda to ban abortion and overthrow our democracy, as well as the MAGA extremists who would promote this agenda, including my opponent Scott Baugh.”
