"While
Donald Trump puts himself first, Democrats are
fighting for the American people. President Biden
has exemplified this through his leadership and
legacy as a historic president who put the American
people’s interest above his own. The accomplishments
and results President Biden delivered for people,
with Vice President Harris by his side, will be on
full display during the convention, as will Kamala
Harris’s commitment to fighting on behalf of
everyday Americans. At its core, the Harris-Walz
ticket is a ticket for the people." |
"This race isn’t just a choice between two candidates. It’s a choice between two very different visions of America. While Donald Trump believes our best days are behind us, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz know the best days lie ahead. Standing in stark contrast to the Trump-Vance Project 2025 agenda designed to take us backwards, the Harris-Walz ticket presents a brighter vision where everyone will have a chance not just to get by, but to get ahead." | "Vice President Harris has spent her entire career fighting for Americans’ freedoms. In Governor Tim Walz, Vice President Harris chose as her running mate a champion for America’s working families and a staunch defender of those same fundamental freedoms. Donald Trump spent his four years in office fighting to strip our rights away, and he’s once again running on an extreme agenda to go even farther in turning back the clock on all the freedoms we hold dear." | "America
can’t afford to put Donald Trump back in the White
House — because a second Trump term would be even
more dangerous and more extreme than the first one.
But the choice we face in November isn’t just about
us versus Donald Trump. This election is a fight for
the future. Vice President Harris and Governor Walz
will lead America into a brighter, more hopeful
era." |
