Biden campaign unveils NEW secret weapon they think could help them beat Trump in 2024: Top aides reveal ‘force to be reckoned with’ as Joe struggles at the polls
President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign on Wednesday unleashed a new organizing weapon in their arsenal, in an effort to rally LGBTQ+ support for their campaign.
Campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez described LGBTQ+ voters as a secret weapon for the upcoming elections.
“LGBTQ+ voters are a force to be reckoned with,” she said in a statement to the Advocate. “They were crucial to our victory in 2020, and they will be crucial to winning again in November.”
The campaign crafted new messages to appeal to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer voters, urging them to unite behind the Out for Biden-Harris program.
They also released a new video with Vice President Kamala Harris, urging LGBTQ+ voters to ‘Come Out’ for Joe Biden.

The video also includes old footage of Harris’ comments from a 2022 LGBTQ+ Pride event at the White House.
“We will do what we have always done in this movement, in this community, which is that we will continue to collectively build unity. We will continue to build a coalition,” she says in the video. “We will always be fueled by the knowledge that we have so much more in common than what divides us.”
Harris is urging LGBTQ+ voters to text “OUT” to the campaign and join their efforts to rally voters.

An opinion poll issued in March, a survey by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) found that LGBTQ voters nationwide favored President Joe Biden over Donald Trump by 53 percentage points.
The poll found that LGBTQ voters were likely to support Biden at 68 percent and only 15 percent for Trump.
That’s a six-point drop for Biden in the LGBTQ community since the 2020 election.
An October 2020 GLAAD poll showed that 74 percent of likely LGBTQ voters supported Biden, while 17 percent supported Trump.
Chavez Rodriguez warned LGBTQ+ voters that former President Donald Trump would harm their community if he were re-elected president.
“For LGBTQ+ Americans, the stakes couldn’t be higher in this election: Donald Trump and his extremist allies aim to undermine LGBTQ+ rights and erase history as their top priorities,” she said.
