Praising the progress under Biden’s presidency, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal deemed him the “most progressive and effective President” in a statement posted on X.
“His leadership has been unparalleled, with a record of achievements: the lowest unemployment in over 50 years; the biggest investment in taking on climate change in history; a historic investment in rebuilding our nation's infrastructure with union and green jobs; taking on Big Pharma to reduce the cost of prescription drugs: being the most pro-union president in history and fostering the tremendous energy of workers organizing across the country,” she said.
