Utah Democratic Party Chair Diane Lewis released the following statement in response to President Biden’s State of the Union address

SALT LAKE CITY, March 7, 2024 — “Tonight, President Biden once again demonstrated his dedication to safeguarding the well-being of Utahns. The difference between President Biden’s aspirations for our nation's future and Trump’s plan to drag us back to 2020 couldn't be more apparent. President Biden is determined to improve the lives of our state’s families, while Donald Trump's primary focus seems to be degrading our most sacred values: liberty, equality, and justice.

As Donald Trump, currently dealing with 91 criminal charges, doubles down on his pledge to be a ‘dictator on day one’ and make the wealthy rich off the back of hardworking Utahns, America’s President has remained committed to defending democracy and building our economy from the bottom up and the middle out — while making sure the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share.

“Utahns understand the stakes in this election and know that the only way to keep building on all the progress we’ve made is reelecting President Biden and Vice President Harris to a second term in November.”
