Fantastic! I can’t predict the future but I can say for certain all the work we did in 2022 and 2023 to win key races is laying important groundwork to make 2024 a success!
To all...I'm starting a write in campaign to encourage liberal media outlets to report many more stories about the great job President Biden is doing for America. My outlet is the NYTimes.
Below is a letter I wrote to the editorial board praising their thorough condemnation of Trump and asking them to print more news stories about Biden's accomplishments. Objectively educating the public is the highest purpose for the press.
The article is in today's Times:
Please write in to express your opinion. The more the merrier
Thank you for thoroughly outlining the reasons we cannot return Trump to power. 7 years later, it's still hard to imagine he was actually president and he certainly needs to be utterly defeated if he is legally permitted to be on the national ballot this November.
This editorial is one of many excellent pieces the Times has run explaining the horrors of a second Trump presidency; horrors to institutions, individuals and the future of American democracy.
There is a simple and easily accessible solution the Times can deploy to help the country ensure Trump and MAGA do not return to power. Do more to elect Joe Biden president! Do not wait until the eve of election day to write a lofty editorial endorsing Biden and warning again of Trumpism. The Times, because of its reach, it's influence across all media and the scale and quality of it staff can begin running many more news articles and opinion pieces with the intent of educating the public about what an unexpectedly miraculous first term Joe Biden is delivering for the American people; economically, technologically and internationally.
I am an avid daily reader of the Times, both print and digital. I have been surprised in the past two years to find few stories that mention Biden by name anywhere before page 13 if he's mentioned at all. And then he's frequently described as this doddering old guy, too old to run in 2024..I, for one, would say, if Biden's first term has been an example of his incompetent senility, the country absolutely needs another four years of it.
Although Times small sample polling shows exaggerated discontent with a Biden second term, I am one of the 81million Americans, like I'm sure many of you on the editorial board, who voted for Biden, with limited expectations in 2020 except to get Trump out of office. I have been astounded by the great job, clear vision and quiet leadership Biden brought to the country.
When we get to the numbers for 2024, current polling aside, Biden beat Trump by 7 million votes in 2020. Biden has the potential to add 10-12 million votes in 2024 coming from ~ 16 million new young potential voters, Independents, highly energized pro-abortion women, never-Trump Republicans and Americans who appreciate the better economy created under Biden. This could put him over 90 million, a stunning record.
Trump on the other hand received 74 million votes in 2020. Maybe I'm naive, but I don't see where Trump is adding any substantial vote totals. The GOP is a shrinking party and I believe the MAGA cult is topped out. If the board has any insights as to where Trump will find the millions of votes he needs to win I'd love to hear about it.
81 million Americans are waiting for the Times to do more to inform the public about Biden's results. I'm looking forward to it.

A Warning About Donald Trump and 2024
