Mayor Bass Statement Regarding President Biden’s Decision

LOS ANGELES– Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass today issued the following statement: “President Biden has been one of the most successful and consequential Presidents in American history – and Anglenos have benefited directly from his leadership. “His partnership was essential in unsheltered homelessness in Los Angeles decreasing for the first time in years. He has helped provide Angelenos with health care, lower prescription drug costs, stronger infrastructure, an expanded public transportation system, and a greener Los Angeles. Just this week, we celebrated more than $70 million in federal investments to expand LA Metro’s electric bus fleet as we prepare to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. President Biden also defeated the most divisive President in history whose agenda weakened America’s economy, health and international standing throughout the world. “I know that this work will continue through the remainder of the President’s term, and I look forward to continuing to partner with him and Vice President Harris to deliver results for those whom we serve. On behalf of the people of Los Angeles, I want to thank President Biden for his continuing service to this city, this state and this nation.”
