Suleiman still backs Biden, wants other N.J. Dems to affirm their support – New Jersey Globe

Atlantic County Democratic Chairman Michael Suleiman wants Joe Biden to remain in the race and is calling on other New Jersey Democrats to reaffirm their support of the president for a second term.

“The corporate media and political elites want to dump President Biden because they’ll benefit from the chaos.  Regular folks I talk to outside of the political bubble are sticking with Joe, and so am I,” Suleiman said.  “Democratic primary voters overwhelmingly voted for the Biden-Harris ticket, and the wishes of our rank-and-file members should not be cast away.”

Suleiman was elected delegate to the Democratic National Convention on the Biden slate in the June 4 primary; he is obligated to vote for Biden on the first ballot if the president is nominated.

“Growing up in Atlantic County, I learned that we don’t abandon our own. As a family, we stick together and tough it out,” Suleiman said.  “That’s why I’m reaffirming my support for President Biden.”

He wants the Democratic congressional delegation and county chairs to publicly state their support of the president.

“Let’s show the nation that New Jersey Democrats are united behind Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” he said.
