Former Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen Endorses Joe Biden
Today, former Secretary of Defense and Republican Senator Bill Cohen released the following statement announcing his endorsement of Joe Biden for President of the United States:
“We have a choice in November; whether to go back to our dark past or reach for who we aspire to be -- a country where it doesn't matter where you came from, how you worship or who you love, a country where everyone matters. I'm voting for Joe Biden because our democracy is at stake. Americans are suffering through the worst pandemic in a hundred years, a pandemic predicted to kill close to 200,000 Americans by election day due to poor management and failed leadership. Our nation has been shaken to the core during the last four years. We are in serious need of a leader with optimism and competence who gives us hope. Joe Biden is that leader.”
Bill Cohen was the U.S. Secretary of Defense from 1997-2001 and represented Maine in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives for over three decades. He was born in Bangor, ME.
