President Joe Biden reiterated his longstanding support for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), emphasizing its significance in ensuring equality. In a statement, he expressed that no individual should face discrimination based on sex and highlighted the need to affirm women's full equality.

The ERA reached a significant milestone on January 27, 2020, when Virginia became the 38th state to ratify it. This marked the threshold needed for constitutional amendments. The American Bar Association has acknowledged that the ERA has met all requirements to be added as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. President Biden aligns with this view and concurs with legal scholars who assert that the ERA is now part of the Constitution.

"It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people," Biden stated, reaffirming his commitment to uphold what he considers already ratified by three-fourths of U.S. states: "the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex."
