AUGUSTA, ME–  Maine GOP Chair Dr. Demi Kouzounas released the following statement regarding Joe Biden accepting the Democrat nomination for President:

“Since the beginning of the Democrat primary it has been clear that the D.C. establishment has stacked the deck for their hand-picked candidate, Joe Biden, and tonight they got their wish,” said Chair Dr. Demi Kouzounas. “While out-of-touch elites may be excited to be getting an empty suit nominee, many Democrats are trying their best to muster up excitement over Biden’s non-existent campaign.”

“While Joe Biden is doing his best impression of a ‘moderate’ politician, the policies he has backed during his campaign are anything but. From defunding the police and confiscating firearms from law-abiding citizens, to the ‘Green New Deal’, Joe Biden has been commandeered by the most extreme members of his party. Simply put, a Biden-Harris presidency would kill jobs, decimate our economy, and put our communities in danger.”

“Like most of America, we are excited to see Joe Biden freed from his handlers and put on stage to debate with President Trump. In the meantime, our team at Maine GOP will continue to build the largest grassroots field operation Maine has ever seen to ensure President Trump is re-elected in November.”
