DOSE OF JOE - Aug 24

Friends -- see below for today's Dose of Joe.

Yesterday, in the first general election endorsement by a Florida newspaper, the South Florida Sun Sentinel Editorial Board recommended Joe Biden for President of the United States.

Biden for President announced the Democratic National Convention generated more than 122 million views across livestreams on 15+ digital platforms and across broadcast and cable networks. Additionally, Biden for President and its joint committees boosted the campaign’s support, raising $70 million over the course of the week.

Biden for President released a new ad “Trump’s Boycott,” in Ohio and North Carolina to underscore Joe Biden’s commitment to American manufacturing and defend the jobs and dignity of Goodyear workers after President Trump attacked them in a political tweetstorm calling for a boycott. Watch the Ohio version HERE and North Carolina version HERE.

Joe released a statement on Bath Iron Works, Machinists union finalizing agreement to end the strike in Maine. In his statement he congratulates the “hardworking members of Local S6 on approving a new contract that ensures that they have a voice in their workplace, employment security and a good future for Maine jobs.”

A new CBS poll has Biden in the lead at 52% and Trump at 42%.

JOE’S TWEETS TO AMPLIFY

@JoeBiden: As president, the first step I will take will be to get control of the virus that's ruined so many lives. Because I understand something this president doesn't. We will never get our economy back on track until we deal with this virus.

@JoeBiden: .@DrBiden and I are keeping everyone in the path of storms Laura and Marco in our prayers. Please take steps to prepare, heed the warnings of local authorities, and stay safe.

@JoeBiden: America is at an inflection point. We can choose the path of becoming angrier, less hopeful, and more divided. Or we can choose a different path, and together, take this chance to heal, to be reborn, to unite. A path of hope and light.
