President Joe Biden's reelection 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 election.

'LGBTQ+ voters are a force to be reckoned with,' she said in a statement to the Advocate. 'They were critical to our victory in 2020, and they will be critical to winning again this November.'

The campaign drafted new messaging 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 featuring Vice President Kamala Harris, urging LGBTQ+ voters to come 'Out' for Joe Biden.

Harris praised Biden for elevating gay, lesbian, and transgender officials in his administration, featuring gay Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, lesbian White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, transgender Assistant Secretary of Health Admiral Rachel Levine, and gay State Department Spokesman Ned Price.

The video also features old footage of Harris' remarks 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, collectively, we will continue to build unity. We will continue to build coalition,' she says in the video. 'We will always be fueled by knowing we have so much more in common than what separates us.'

Harris urges LGBTQ+ voters to text 'OUT' to the campaign to join their effort to rally voters.

The campaign released a new video featuring Vice President Kamala Harris , urging LGBTQ+ voters to come 'Out' for Joe Biden.

A poll released in March by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) showed that LGBTQ likely voters preferred President Joe Biden over Donald Trump by 53 percentage points nationwide. 

The poll revealed that LGBTQ likely voters supported Biden by 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 LGBTQ likely voters supported Biden with 17 percent supporting Trump.

Chavez Rodriguez warned LGBTQ+ voters that former President Donald Trump would hurt their community if he was reelected as president. 

'LGBTQ+ Americans couldn’t have more at stake this election: Donald Trump and his extremist allies are running to gut LGBTQ+ rights and erase history as their top priorities,' she said.
