“I leave the outcome of the debate to the experts, but I have to say that facts and history matter. Joe Biden has given us three years of solid leadership, stabilizing us in the face of the pandemic, generating a record number of jobs, with achievements to solve the climate crisis and putting in place a system to reduce inflation and all while getting us out of the quagmire that Donald Trump left us in. That’s what really matters in November,” Clinton posted on her account. x.
