LARGEST POLITICAL GROUPS REPRESENTING AAPI, BLACK & LATINO COMMUNITIES REAFFIRM SUPPORT FOR BIDEN-HARRIS TICKET

WASHINGTON D.C. – The largest political action committees representing communities of color – AAPI Victory Fund, The Collective PAC, and Latino Victory Fund – today released the following statement to reaffirm their endorsement of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for re-election:

“As political organizations representing communities of color, we’ve been asked many times since last Thursday’s debate what we see as the path forward in the presidential race. Here’s our perspective: We stand staunchly behind President Biden and Vice President Harris – not just because of their historic accomplishments that benefit our communities, but also because of the horrors posed by a second Trump term.

“Donald Trump has promised to use his second term as vengeance against communities of color. His Project 2025 proposes to weaponize the federal government against communities like ours. And now that the Supreme Court has given Trump full immunity for actions taken in office, we take his slogan of Make America Great Again as a serious threat – to take us back to a time when we didn’t have equal rights, opportunities, and a shot at living the full American dream.

“The task we have ahead of us of re-electing President Biden and Vice President Harris is too crucial to be distracted by dissension. We must unite and get to work to defend our democracy and protect our people.”

– Shekar Narasimhan, Chairman and Founder of the AAPI Victory Fund; Joe Nguyễn, President and CEO of the AAPI Victory Fund; Quentin James, President of The Collective PAC; Sindy Benavides, President and CEO of Latino Victory Fund
