Missouri Democratic State Committee and MO Biden Delegation Endorse

Kamala Harris for President

July 23, 2024

Last night by zoom meeting, just hours after President Biden passed the torch to Vice President Harris, the Missouri Democratic Party State Committee unanimously endorsed and all Missouri Biden Delegates endorsed Kamala Harris for President. 

“First, we’d like to thank President Biden for listening to the American people and making this selfless decision to put America first. The conversation we will continue to have around our Democratic values as we nominate our candidate will only continue to generate excitement and enthusiasm and will re-engage voters. Vice President Kamala Harris is exactly the candidate we need at exactly the moment we need her to beat Donald Trump and his Project 2024 Agenda,” said Missouri Democratic Party Chairman Russ Carnahan. 

“President Biden believed that choosing Kamala Harris as Vice President was one of the best decisions he made. His decision to endorse Harris for President has shot a lightning bolt of energy across our country, creating an outpouring of support, volunteers, and small dollar donations. With only 104 days until the election, it was both urgent and critical for Missouri Democrats to unify quickly, and we did that enthusiastically, becoming one of the earliest Democratic State Parties to do so.” 

“Missouri has one of the most extreme, near-total abortion bans in the country, which cruelly does not make exceptions in cases of rape or incest, and overturning this ban will be on the Ballot in November. Republican politicians reaffirmed their commitment to their extremism and cruelty this legislative session by blocking a Democratic amendment to Missouri’s near- total abortion ban that would have carved out exceptions for cases of rape and incest. Every Republican voted against this amendment.” 

“Heading into November, Missouri Democrats are well positioned to present a strong case to Missouri voters about what is at stake this election and highlight our solutions to address the critical issues facing our communities. The excitement this conversation and a Harris candidacy brings will only propel us forward.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Missouri Democratic Party Statement on the Second Anniversary of Roe Being Overturned

June 24, 2024

On the second anniversary of the Trump Supreme Court’s extreme decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, ripping away nearly 50 years of reproductive rights and unleashing extreme abortion bans in states across the country, Missouri Democratic Party Chair Russ Carnahan released the following statement: 

“After the Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices cast the deciding votes to overturn Roe, Missouri was the first state to effectively make every abortion illegal, due to a Republican trigger law on our books. Since that day in June 2022, we have heard countless horrific stories of pregnant women across the country denied lifesaving care and doctors threatened with prosecution for doing their jobs. Instead of working to solve critical issues, including access to affordable and quality healthcare, public education, and improving the safety of our roads and bridges, Missouri Republicans have only continued to attack our right to reproductive healthcare access,” Carnahan said. 

“Over this year’s state legislative session, Republicans have reaffirmed their commitment to cruelty, voting against allowing abortion exceptions in cases of rape or incest and against protecting contraceptives and IVF services. These are deeply private issues around decisions that should be made amongst family and medical professionals, not politicians in Jefferson City. We know the majority of Missouri voters, Democratic, Independent, and Republicans, believe their neighbors should have the fundamental right to make their own, personal medical decisions without cruel interference. This is why Republicans spent this legislative session attacking our right to check their power at the ballot box in response to 380,000 Missourians signing an initiative petition to reinstate abortion rights. Missouri voters will send this message loud and clear to stop these attacks on our most personal freedoms this election season.”
