Biden-Harris Team Promises
Fighting Inflation, Helping the Family Budget, and Growing the Middle Class
“We came into office during the height of a pandemic, record unemployment. And because of our economic policies, we now are reducing inflation. We have created over 14 million new jobs. We’ve created over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs. Wages are up. And so, we’ve seen great progress.” — Vice President Harris, Oct 29, 2023
Higher prices for monthly expenses leave family budgets strapped. The Biden-Harris team has worked hard with a three-pronged strategy to help families afford everyday needs:
- Bring inflation and prices down;
- Bring wages up, and;
- Stop corporate price-gouging.
The Biden-Harris Administration is Bringing Inflation and Prices Down
The Biden-Harris Administration is:
Bringing Inflation and Prices Down
Inflation has been a problem around the world as everyone dealt with coming out of the pandemic. But the Biden-Harris team has worked hard and inflation in our country has been reduced more than in other developed nations.
Biden-Harris began the presidency with snarled supply-chains left by the Trump Administration — a major contributing factor to inflation. Biden-Harris created a high-level task force to straighten things out and get things moving again. And they have.
The inflation rate has come down 6% on Biden-Harris’s watch.
Inflation is projected to continue to fall in 2024 from 3.2% all the way down to 2.2%, according to Goldman Sachs.
Bringing Wages Up
Wage growth now exceeds inflation. Most of us have more money in our pockets and bank accounts for daily expenses, and at the end of the month we are coming out ahead.
Real wages are higher today for the average worker than they were in the pre-pandemic Trump years, adding $1,400 to the yearly family budget.
Young adults have seen their wages rise 12 percent.
Our wage increase is unique among major developed nations. While our post-pandemic wages have increased 2.8% above inflation compared to pre-pandemic, German workers, for example, earned 7.2% less.
Stopping Corporations From Price-Gouging American Families
Biden-Harris has gotten rid of unfair hidden fees or “junk fees” by banks, credit cards, hotels, rental housing, cable, concerts, airlines, and healthcare that strain the family budget.
The Biden-Harris Administration has:
Made it illegal for banks to charge for basic services, such as charging $30 to check your balance;
Reduced overdraft fees by about 50%, saving an average of $150 for 33 million American families;
Stopped credit card companies from gouging people with insane fees; instead of paying an average of $31 for making a late payment, now they can’t charge you more than $8.
Bipartisanship
Just about everyone thought the Biden-Harris team was out of touch with our partisan times when they promised to work with Republicans during the 2020 campaign. But even amidst the most extreme partisanship our nation has seen since the Civil War, Biden-Harris has scored major bipartisan victories for our country:
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal to rebuild our nation’s roads, bridges, rails, airports, electrical grid, and much more;
The CHIPS and Science Act to bring back semiconductor production in our country and boosting R&D to keep us on the cutting edge of useful scientific knowledge;
The Respect for Marriage Act, protecting same-sex and interracial couples;
the PACT Act to help veterans exposed to toxic chemicals;
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act addressing gun violence; and
A deal with House Republicans to take away their ability to blackmail the country using the debt ceiling, which will also reducethe federal debt $1.4 trillion over a decade.
Such bipartisanship shows that the Biden-Harris team stands at the center of our nation, able to unite people deeply divided to work together for the common good. For with unity comes strength and freedom.
Nominate First Black Woman to Supreme Court and Diversify Federal Courts
Biden-Harris has promised that the Administration will give more borrowers breathing room so they can get out from under the burden of student loan debt, move on with their lives and pursue their dreams.
Biden-Harris has forgiven more than $136 billion in student loans for more than 3.7 million borrowers thus far.
Many are teachers, nurses, social workers, firefighters, and other public servants who had earned forgiveness but never received it.
When the Supreme Court struck down their original plan to forgive at least $10,000 for those making less than $125,000 a year, Biden-Harris found work-arounds.
The Biden-Harris team continues to find ways to forgive more student debt, e.g. the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan, wherein payments are lowered and some will have their debt canceled. 7 million have already enrolled in SAVE.
The Biden-Harris Education Department has issued a draft regulation that will forgive the debt of those likely to default do to various hardships, especially financial hardships.
While these are substantial achievements, Kamala Harris knows the job isn’t done on student debt.

Protecting the Innocent with Gun Safety
Gun safety is one of the most contentious issues in our country. In the face of deadly shootings at schools and houses of worship, and the fact that gun violence is the leading cause of death for children, we despaired that anything could get done to reduce such violence.
Thankfully Biden-Harris was able to work with Congress to pass the first major gun legislation in nearly 30 years, the Bipartisan Safer Community’s Act. Biden-Harris readily admitted that it wasn’t everything they wanted. But it’s a start. The legislation includes:
Enhanced background checks for those under 21;
Incentives for states to implement “red flag” laws that allow law enforcement to confiscate guns from individuals a judge has determined to be too dangerous to have one;
Closes “the boyfriend loophole” adding boyfriends to the other types of domestic abusers are not able to buy a gun, i.e., abusive husbands, live-in boyfriends, and fathers;
Provides over $13 billion for school safety and mental health programs, and;
Tougher sentences for illegal purchases.
Biden-Harris has wasted no time in having the Administration implement the law and find other ways to act through all the powers at his disposal, including establishing the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to keep things moving. In all, Biden-Harris has taken more meaningful action on gun safety than any other administration.
It’s about keeping all of us safe, especially our children. Every child deserves to feel safe at school, and Vice President Harris, once she is president, won’t stop until they do.
Of course, Mr. Trump would not do any of this, and if he were reelected would do what he could to stifle and roll back gun safety. As he said to the National Rifle Association on Feb. 9, 2024: “During my four years … there was great pressure on me having to do with guns. We did nothing. We didn’t yield.”
Restoring our International Standing and Defending Democracy Around the World
Biden-Harris understands that upholding democracy here and abroad is not only the right thing to do, it is good for America. Democracies make better allies. They are more stable and make better trading partners, leading to jobs, business opportunities, and economic growth.
Biden-Harris knows that:
Democracy, alliances, stability, economic growth, and jobs go together;
Our democratic freedoms don’t just happen; they must be tended to and defended;
NATO, and alliances in Asia to counter China, make us stronger;
Rallying the world to defend Ukraine against Russia’s criminal aggression means keeping our brave soldiers out of harm’s way;
Supporting the democratic state of Israel and its right to exist against Hamas’ terrorism and desire to completely destroy Israel is the right thing to do, even if it costs him politically at home;
Palestinians deserve the fruits of freedom like everyone else; their lives and future are just as valuable as ours; that’s why he has pressed Israel to show restraint, protect civilians, and allow humanitarian aid, and he continues to fight for a two-state solution, giving consideration to recognizing a Palestinian state beforehand;
Assistance to other nations must be in keeping with our values; as he reiterated in a Feb. 8, 2024 memo, all nations must use such funds in a manner “consistent with all applicable international and domestic law and policy, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law.”
In defending our country and the cause of freedom around the world, the Biden-Harris team has shown us real courage, real character, real vision. For them, the presidency is about serving one’s country. It’s about us.
Biden-Harris Delivers.
Economic Growth
Biden- Harris Delivers —
The economy has grown 22% under Biden-Harris, compared to 14% for Trump.
Growth averaged 3.4% in Biden-Harris’s first three years, while Trump managed 2.6% in his first three before the pandemic.
Such growth is the strongest among other developed countries in the G7 by far.
Jobs
Biden-Harris Delivers —
“We’ll create millions of jobs …” — Vice Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris, Aug. 12, 2020
14 million jobs and counting have been created on Biden-Harris’s watch.
Biden-Harris beats Trump every year on job creation, even excluding 2020 when the pandemic hit.
Such a wealth of jobs has led to low unemployment during the Biden-Harris Administration and the longest stretch of unemployment below 4% in over 50 years.
This includes the lowest unemployment numbers in history for Hispanics, Blacks, and persons with disabilities.
Melissa Calderon, President/CEO of Prosperity Now notes that the continued increase in healthcare, professional and business services, and retail and social assistance “are a blueprint for eliminating the country’s racial and ethnic income inequality.”
This long stretch of low unemployment has led to wage increases for the average worker, adding $1,400 to the yearly family budget.
Manufacturing
Biden-Harris Delivers —
The Biden-Harris economy has added 800,000 manufacturing jobs.
This includes a manufacturing jobs comeback after a recession has been the biggest in over 50 years.
Biden-Harris policy victories — the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act — have all contributed to this manufacturing resurgence, with much more to come.
Due to these policies, manufacturers have invested $220 billion over the last 18 months in construction. Car parts, construction materials, and computer chips will now be made in the USA instead of in foreign countries, creating a wealth of new manufacturing jobs right here.
Health Care
Biden-Harris Delivers —
The Biden-Harris team promised to strengthen Obamacare, and that’s exactly what they’ve done, as part of their victories with the passage of the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act, making coverage much more affordable and stable. This has led to:
The greatest percentage of people covered in our nation’s history, approximately 93 percent at the end of 2022 (the latest year for which there is data);
A 9 million surge in enrollments for health coverage, from 12 million at the beginning of the Biden-Harris Administration to over 21 million in January 2024;
Four out of five people on the Healthcare Marketplace being able to find a plan for less than $10 a month, and over 90% having three or more options from which to choose;
Working families saving an average of $800 per person a year thanks to health care subsidies provided by Biden-Harris legislative victories;
Over 8 million being freed from struggling with medical debt;
Insulin costs being capped at $35 per month for seniors on Medicare, saving an average of $500 per year;
Winning the ability for the government to negotiate with drug companies to lower drug prices for the first time.
Vice President Harris, once elected, will continue to defend your loved ones from the chaotic healthcare future of a second Trump presidency as well as efforts by MAGA Trumpian members of Congress to tear down Obamacare. Her hard work on healthcare is for us.
Infrastructure
Biden Delivers —
The Biden-Harris team championed and the President signed the largest infrastructure deal in decades, investing over $1 trillion, with historic funding for many aspects, and he did it with broad bipartisan support — something the naysayers said was no longer possible in our partisan age.
This Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is:
Fixing our roads and bridges;
Helping to ease inflation caused from snarled supply chains by fixing our ports, airports, and rails;
Updating the electrician grid to ensure reliability and its ability to handle more clean energy from solar and wind;
Expanding access to clean drinking water;
Ensuring that everyone has access to high-speed Internet;
Building charging stations across the country for electric vehicles.
Pandemic Management
Biden- Harris Delivers —
The Biden-Harris Administration’s Strong Pandemic Leadership
86% of people 6 and up received the vaccine by the end of the pandemic, with 95% of our most vulnerable population, seniors, vaccinated — even in the face of stiff resistance by MAGA vaccine deniers.
Delivered over 1.6 billion free COVID tests to the American people.
Used the Defense Production Act over 100 times to fix medical supply issues.
Schools and businesses were reopened safely, and helped over 200,000 child care facilities stay open.
Eliminated the gap in survival rates between ethnic groups with a hands-on, block-by-block campaign.
The Biden-Harris American Rescue Plan helped bring the economy out of a deep pandemic recession, creating one of the greatest recoveries in history — plentiful jobs, low unemployment, increased wages, and a booming economy.
Provided direct economic relief to American families, an extension of unemployment benefits, a temporary expanded Child Tax Credit that lifted over 7 million children out of poverty, and small business loans.
Recognizing that all pandemics are worldwide phenomena, rejoined the World Health Organization after Trump pulled us out, and provided more vaccines to poor countries than all the other major developed countries combined, over 691,000,000 doses.
Creation Care

Biden-Harris’ Historic Climate Change Leadership
“When President Biden and I took office, we set an ambitious goal. Yes, people said, ‘That can’t be done.’ We said, ‘Well, you know what? We believe in dreaming with ambition and then seeing it through.” — Vice President Harris, July 14, 2023
The Biden-Harris team has already achieved the greatest climate action legacy in our history. But given the speed and scale of the challenge, Kamala Harris knows there is much more work to be done when she is elected president.
Here are highlights of Biden-Harris accomplishments to date.
On track to have the US play its part in keeping warming to around 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, thereby avoiding dangerous interference with the climate system by achieving Net-Zero emissions by 2050.
Championed and signed the most consequential climate and clean energy legislation in our history, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which could end up investing over $1 trillion to reduce climate pollution, spurring an additional $3 trillion in business investment, while creating up to 1.5 million good paying jobs.
Put our nation on a trajectory to have renewable energy be our #1 source of electricity; it’s already #2, having recently surpassed coal.
Finalized a regulation (or rule) on methane pollution, a potent heat-trapping gas, that will cut methane 80%, the equivalent of taking 28 million cars off the roads.
Reducing climate pollution from the transportation sector, the #1 source of heat-trapping emissions through the tightest vehicle standards to date, a regulation tying highway funds for states to pollution-reduction goals, and Executive Orders that 50% of all passenger vehicle sales be zero emission vehicles by 2030 and that the federal government procure 100% zero emission vehicles by 2035 and 100% zero emission trucks by 2027.
Investing $66 billion in clean public transit, including zero-emission busses, $7.5 billion to build the first-ever national network of EV charging stations, and delivering thousands of electric school buses nationwide through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement and provided indispensable international leadership in rallying the world for meaningful action, e.g., The Global Methane Pledge with 155 countries, and bilateral agreements with China, the world’s #1 emitter.
Created numerous ways for average Americans to help the family budget and reduce pollution at the same time by receiving tax credits — up to $2,000 for a heat pump, saving $500 a year on energy bills, up to $1,200 for energy efficiency improvements for doors, windows and insulation; up to $7,500 for a new clean vehicle and $4,000 for a used clean vehicle.
Started the American Climate Corps, 20,000 young adults who are tackling the climate crisis, especially in communities left behind.
Investing $1 billion to plant trees in Urban areas, especially where there is the greatest need, resulting in the biggest bang for the buck. Besides soaking up carbon pollution, trees can make neighborhoods up to 10 degrees cooler, reducing deaths from heat stroke, and they trap air pollution, helping to avoid 670,000 acute respiratory attacks.
Investing $40 billion to help rural America with climate solutions.
Investing $50 billion in helping Americans and our communities become more resilient or better prepared to weather climate impacts, which will continue to grow in strength, severity, and destruction. This includes elevating roads and bridges due to increased flooding, making the electrical grid more secure and reliable, protecting from hurricanes by restoring coastal buffer zones, building houses to better withstand extreme weather, and managing public lands to withstand wildfires and droughts.
