An endorsement for party nomination and for President and Vice President

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-signal-press-endorses-president-joe.html

The President is 81 years old, which means that he grew up in a generation that understood, and respected American values. He is genuinely a politician who is a "man of the people," whose life experiences give him an understanding of how things are for the rest of us. He sees his role as being a servant of the people. When we needed a strong candidate with a solid background who could defeat Donald Trump and rid us of his anti-democratic politics, along with his brand of immoral worldliness proudly on display for the world to see, we asked Biden, who had unofficially retired after eight years of service as Vice President of the United States, to come back, run, and give us the kind of inter-generational leadership that we needed.

His return has required sacrifice, which he has been willing to do on our behalf. It has subjected his family members to undeserved criticism and political attacks. Through all of this, unlike his predecessor, he has been unwilling to use the powers of his office in a selfish manner, for family purposes. This has been a demonstration of his commitment to the rule of law, something his opponent is willing to trash for selfish ambition.

Vice President Harris has exhibited presidential leadership qualities that will enable her to do the one thing required of a Vice-President, step in when necessary. And that completely removes the issue of the age of the President

Vice President Harris is one of the strongest, most progressive Vice-Presidents we have ever had, and she has made her capability and qualifications to be President very clear. It would be a smooth transition, if it were ever necessary. The Vice-President has been actively engaged in the administration and is knowledgeable, with a wealth of common sense. I particularly like her more progressive political position and hope that leads her to serve in her own right, elected to office at some point.
