As millions of Americans are getting vaccinated every day and are using their stimulus checks to boost a rapidly recovering economy, support for the American Rescue Plan that every single congressional Republican opposed is widespread and bipartisan.

A whopping 73% of independent voters support the American Rescue Plan, and over half of Americans believe the plan has a positive impact on them directly.

Navigator Survey: “With a majority hearing about the ‘American Rescue Plan,’ seven in ten continue to support it and a majority believe it has had or will have a ‘positive impact’ on them.”

But you don’t need a poll to tell you what Americans are feeling. Across the country, voters are telling their stories about what the American Rescue Plan has done for them.

Colorado small business owner: “It’s keeping our dream alive.”

Arkansas cancer survivor: “It has kept a roof over my head and kept my lights on.”

Today, the Democratic National Committee released a new 30-second television ad in the Green Bay media market “Back on Track,” that highlights President Biden’s success in getting America back on track with vaccines in arms, stimulus checks in hand, and a million jobs created.

“The American people elected President Joe Biden to guide our country out of one of the worst public health and economic crises in our history, and there is no question that he is delivering for Wisconsinites. Thanks to the president’s leadership, more than 200 million vaccine doses have been given, more than 150 million stimulus checks have been delivered, and our economy is on the rise,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. “Thanks to the leadership of President Biden and Democrats in Wisconsin, America is on track again and we’re building back better than ever.”

The new ad is the latest step the DNC has taken to make sure Wisconsinites know that President Biden is delivering on an agenda that is overwhelmingly popular with a bipartisan majority of voters.

Earlier this month, the DNC unveiled a billboard in Milwaukee to thank President Biden and Democratic senators for delivering much-needed relief through the American Rescue Plan — no thanks to Republicans. Earlier this month, the DNC launched a daylong digital advertising campaign taking over the homepage of the Wisconsin State Journal to thank Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin for delivering needed relief to Americans by passing the American Rescue Plan. And in March, a digital billboard and TV ad went up in Milwaukee, highlighting how President Biden and Wisconsin Democrats have delivered real, tangible results for Wisconsinites and their families by making the American Rescue Plan a reality, while Republicans like Senator Johnson stood in the way.

Today the Democratic National Committee is releasing a new video to highlight how President Biden is delivering on his promises ahead of schedule. Thanks to President Biden’s leadership and the American Rescue Plan, every American adult is now eligible to get their vaccine, half of them have already received at least one shot, and over 84.2 million people have been fully vaccinated.

The post NEW DNC VIDEO: President Biden Delivers on Vaccine Promise Ahead of Schedule appeared first on Democrats.

Today, weeks ahead of an initial deadline and after inheriting a disjointed vaccine rollout, President Biden has delivered on his promise to make every American adult eligible for a coronavirus vaccine.

The United States is setting new records every week, and vaccinating, on average, 3.2 million Americans per day, up from the 2.5 million per day a month ago.

New York Times: “‘It’s truly historic that we have already reached this milestone,’ said Dr. Nandita Mani, the associate medical director of infection prevention and control at the University of Washington Medical Center. After a slow start, the pace of vaccinations has risen considerably in recent months. Mr. Biden, who initially said he wanted states to make all adults eligible for a vaccine by May 1, moved the deadline up as vaccinations accelerated. Mr. Biden has also set a goal of administering 200 million doses by his 100th day in office, which the nation is on pace to meet.”

Now, an estimated 90% of Americans live within five miles of a vaccination site, as President Biden continues to ramp up access to vaccines.

CNN: “The Biden administration has ramped up its role in distributing and administering coronavirus vaccines, boosting federal pipelines in recent months with more doses and more vaccination sites in preparation for mounting US supply and the next phase of the US vaccination campaign. As the US officially entered that phase on Monday — with every person 16 years and older now eligible to be vaccinated — Biden administration officials said they estimate that 90% of Americans now live within five miles of a vaccination site as a result of the expanded federal channels. Nearly 40,000 pharmacies are now equipped to put shots in arms through a direct-to-pharmacy federal vaccine program, up from just a few thousand when the program launched two months ago.”

This comes on the heels of news that half of all U.S. adults have already received at least one dose of the vaccine.

Washington Post: “More than 131 million people, or half of all American adults, had received at least one shot as of Sunday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 84.3 million people have been fully vaccinated.”

CNBC: “Half of all American adults have now received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine, according to the CDC. The milestone comes as President Joe Biden’s deadline arrives for states to expand their vaccine eligibility requirements. Biden asked states to open appointments to all U.S. adults by April 19.”

Republican lawmakers across the country have introduced legislation targeting transgender Americans, including transgender children — a record number of bills, according to the Human Rights Campaign. In response, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison and LGBTQ+ Caucus Chair Earl Fowlkes released the following joint statement:

“The Democratic Party respects and validates transgender people and believes discrimination against them is despicable, contemptible, and counter to the values we hold dear as a nation.

“Over the last decade, the fight for equal rights and protections for LGBTQ people has gained tremendous momentum. From marriage equality to the historic Bostock decision to President Biden’s appointment and the Senate’s confirmation of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine, Democrats and progressives have fought alongside LGBTQ activists to achieve what many, decades ago, believed impossible. But now we’re seeing a dangerous effort to attack the most vulnerable members of the LGBTQ community in an attempt to roll back that progress and codify hostility into state laws.

“The rash of legislation targeting transgender people and transgender children is vicious and serves no public purpose. Pediatricians are extremely concerned about the impact these bills have already had on the mental health of their transgender patients. Instead, legislators should focus on the issues that are keeping Americans up at night: issues like the vaccine rollout, getting our economy back on track, the education of our children, and rebuilding our nation’s dilapidated infrastructure.

“Our nation desperately needs the Equality Act and its protections for LGBTQ people, and we call upon Republicans to abandon these attacks on the transgender community and join us in passing this critical legislation.”
