Amid ongoing speculation that Joe Biden will end his re-election campaign in the coming days, the embattled Delaware Democrat is getting a vote of confidence from Jacksonville’s Mayor.
“I’m 100% behind President Biden. What his administration has and continues to invest in Jacksonville’s infrastructure is transformative,” Donna Deegan told Florida Politics.
Deegan referenced federal grants, saying Biden has “sent hundreds of millions of our tax dollars home directly, allowing us to put them to work for our people immediately and we owe him a debt of gratitude.”
These federal distributions run the gamut, from $147 million for the Emerald Trail project to a little more than $845,000 for energy audits.
“Unless I hear differently from him, he is running and I am with him,” Deegan emphasized.
Deegan, elected in 2023, was a notable inclusion in a recent Biden campaign email praising a “Biden-(Kamala) Harris Plan to Lower Housing Costs and Slam Trump for Project 2025 Agenda to Make Housing More Expensive.” But her provided quote in that email focused on the former rather than the Project 2025 concept Democrats are messaging against heavily.
That said, the Duval Democrat has a backup plan in case Biden ultimately isn’t the candidate for her party.
“Should he decide otherwise, I have great faith in Vice President Harris and she is already on the ticket. In my mind she would be the only alternative that would still respect the will of Primary voters,” Deegan said.
Jacksonville’s Mayor has advanced Biden-Harris administration messaging on a couple of visible public occasions since her inauguration last year, including the Vice President’s criticisms of Florida’s Black History education standards in 2023 and the abortion ban after six weeks of pregnancy this year. She also appeared with President Biden at a gun violence prevention event in Washington, D.C., last year.

Great job Donna. Let’s all get on that Ka Mana love train. She represents the best and the brightest of the New Demo Party. Donna, shouldn’t we support a Squad Member as well and have an all female team?

They are not progressives. That train left the station a while ago. She is bankrupting the city. Everybody loves the buffet until the check arrives. Hint: She’s not paying for it. You are. Next time we should elect a mayor who can do math and respects the will of the people. I have never seen any mayor self-congratulate as much as this one, who preaches about love and inclusion but runs City Hall like it’s a lock down prison. Who is openly hostile to even mild questioning or feedback. Who only promotes and answers to the favorites in her party, not the whole city. I regret voting for her and won’t do it again.

Somehow I doubt you actually voted for DD — in any case your comment elicits bathos and not pathos.

We’re all very impressed with your word of the day, MH. As a matter of fact I did vote for DD, donated, and even tried to volunteer for her campaign (they were not interested) and have been very disappointed. When we have needed something seriously mundane from the city (please send a crew to unblock the single storm drain in our area so the road doesn’t flood every time it rains so we can GET TO WORK, we were rebuffed and told there is NO MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS, and it’s NOT A CITY PRIORITY. Yes I am putting in all caps because it’s an ongoing issue, yet somehow they just can’t find the money after lining Khan’s pockets. Likewise with a major code enforcement issue with neighbors which would be a quick fix to stop abuse, and they won’t even send someone because THEY DON’T HAVE THE MAN POWER AND ARE NOT INTERESTED. We’ve been told to go pound sand. So yes, I’m done. I seem to recall you were also disappointed, but now seem to have reverted to your normal tactic of lobbing insults.

Services in Duval can be sketchy and, from my own experience with COJ code enforcement, I get it.
Our present situation as voters is to select one of two choices put before us by the competing power centers.

Good Morn’Ting Republican Party of Duvall County, Florida.
JUST A FRIENDLY REMIMDER:
Do any of you remember when the increadably HOT MlLF, Donna Deegan was running for office?
ALLOW ME TO REFREASH YOUR MEMORIES:
At that time I advised the party leadership that you must ditch your candidate (some rando doner dude) and allow me to bring in our own Imcreable HOT MlLF to compete on a level playing field with the voters For The Win against Deegan.
But you were all like: “Thanks but no thanks Mr. Pitts American we have already got some big donations from our Dude candidates Daddy and therefore we are not interested in following your advice to run your HOT MlLF for the win.
IN CLOSING:
You upper level corrupt leaders of the Republican Party of Duvall County are directly responsable for everything Deegan said in the above artical.
READ IT AGAIN:
Thats All On You!!!
Thanks upper leadership of the Duvall County Republican Party …. BUT NO THANKS,
Elvis Pitts American

It’s just a matter of hours or days before Joe Biden gracefully exits his 2024 campaign and sets a new course for Democrats to elect Harris in November. After last night’s GQP CLOWN SHOW that was universally panned….. Americans have only one choice in the upcoming presidential election.
Republicans are America’s worst enemy!
Vote all Republicans out of office.

With due respect: Lenny Curry, or his handpicked successor Daniel Davis, are better choices for Mayor?

Really — we need to bring back the good old boys who siphon off so much of the public’s money, directing it to pet projects and etc.

Duval is Duval. It doesn’t matter which party gets in power, they all act the same. There’s a back room where once they get into office they get put to sleep and replaced with pod people and programmed with how things really work. No loyalty to taxpayers just smash and grab. Jacksonville is on target to become the Detroit of the south. Except Detroit is on its way up and Jax on its way down. It can’t compete with surrounding counties who use it for employment and resources but their tax dollars go back to their own county. Who would buy in Jax now. Not even the cops live in Jax. Nor does THE MAYOR.
