Here’s what President Biden had to say about Trump’s announcement:

Donald Trump is running for president again, and President Biden emailed you. [Democrats][Join us.] Donald Trump is running for president again, and President Biden emailed you. Here’s the deal. Grassroots supporters are the reason Donald Trump was defeated. Folks who chipped in back in 2020 are the reason we have control of the White House. And your support of the Democratic Party will be why Trump will never be president again. [Donate $7 to the DNC to become a Founding Donor in our fight against Trump and Republicans across the country.]( Thanks, The Democrats -----Forwarded message----- Sender: President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Date: Tue, Nov 15, 2022 Subject: Trump is running for president. You haven’t donated to support our party this year. Will you step up now? Tonight, Donald Trump announced he’s running again. I’m going to let you in on a secret: He will fail. [In a moment, I’m going to tell you why, but people like you stepping up will be a big part of how it’s done.]( Over the last few years, our democracy was put to the test. In the midterm elections, the American people voted to uphold our democracy. That fight isn’t over. This team defeated Donald Trump just over two years ago. It wasn’t a fluke. Trump pitted neighbors against neighbors. He rigged the economy for the rich. He left behind a mess. But a dedicated base of millions of grassroots supporters just like you came together to donate, volunteer, and vote in record numbers, and together, we defeated him. This year, you buckled down and got back to work to beat Trumpism at the ballot box. Just one week ago, you proved that together, we can defeat the extremism, divisiveness, and corruption that he and his party represent. Thanks to you, we protected the Senate and lost fewer seats in the House this year than in any Democratic president’s first elected midterm in the last 40 years. [And if you step up now, our party will defeat MAGA Republicans again in 2024.]( Now you’re probably asking yourself: “All right, Joe, what’s your plan?” And I promise you, I’ll have more to say on that soon. But, in the meantime, I’ll leave it at this: Grassroots supporters are the reason Donald Trump was defeated. You’re the reason Kamala and I are here. And your support of the Democratic Party is going to be the reason he will never be president again. We won in 2020 and 2022 because you donated your hard-earned time and money to defeat Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans. You haven’t donated to the DNC this year. With Trump running for president again, our party’s work is more important than ever. Will you make your first $7 donation of the year to the DNC now? [DONATE: $7]( [DONATE: $10]( [DONATE: $25]( [DONATE: $50]( [DONATE: $100]( [Donate another amount]( Think of where we were two years ago. Millions of people were out of work. COVID was running rampant. The country seemed to be coming apart at the seams. But you kept the faith. You believed, like I did, that we were in a battle for the soul of this nation. That we needed to rebuild the backbone of this country: the middle class. That we needed to put unity over division. Truth over lies. Hope over fear. And thanks to you, we did. Today, we’ve created more jobs than any administration ever at this point in a presidency. Vaccines and tests are easily available for every American. We’ve worked with Republicans to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure. We’ve tackled the inflation crisis head-on by investing in our supply chain, and we’ve passed historic legislation to bring down costs for families. Millions of Americans will be relieved of crushing student debt. And we’ve made the single-biggest investment in climate in our nation’s history. Still, the battle for the soul of our nation was never going to be won in a single presidential election -- or a single midterm election. Just take a look at this last election: Our party’s work is about more than defeating Donald Trump. It’s about defeating Trumpism. It’s about being able to live in a country where neighbors aren’t pitted against each other. Where elected officials go to bat for the middle class. Where racism and violence are given no safe harbor. [Make your first $7 donation of the year to the DNC today to protect our democracy and elect Democrats nationwide.
