From NYS Democrat Chair Jay Jacobs: Statement on Recent SCOTUS Rulings
“The Supreme Court has once again demonstrated their commitment to a radical MAGA agenda that tramples over the rights of all Americans. Make no mistake: we are in this situation because of Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, who cynically hijacked our top court to achieve their extremist aims.
New York Democrats are united in our commitment to equal rights, diversity and the rule of law. While the Supreme Court strikes down laws protecting LGBTQ+ rights, we stand strongly in support of equality. When they strike down affirmative action, we double down on building a more inclusive society. When they overturn President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, we will continue fighting to make college more affordable for all.
These reckless Supreme Court actions make one thing clear: now more than ever, it’s critical to elect Democrats up and down the ballot who will fight for New York families, not the radical MAGA agenda. That starts with re-electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House and ensuring every Democratic candidate is successful next November.”
