WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden defended his record confronting climate change and earned the endorsement of major conservation groups as he sought to consolidate support for his 2024 reelection campaign at a gathering of climate activists Wednesday.
“Your work has never been more important than it is today,” Biden said at the annual dinner of the League of Conservation Voters in Washington. “Together, we’ve made a lot of progress so far, but we’ve got to finish the job.”
Before Biden’s remarks, the league and other top environmental groups – including the Sierra Club, National Resources Defense Council’s Action Fund, and the NextGen political action committee – announced their backing of his candidacy. It marked the first time the four groups had ever jointly announced a presidential endorsement.
