Thank you.
M, M,E.
M,E, M on
M,E.
M,E to you.
Thank you.
Let's sing it!
Hello, Nancy!
How's everyone doing today?
Well, my name is Ty, and I'm here to hear you go to Mass.
Just a little bit with you guys.
I believe my English, it turned early to get here on time.
But believe me, it is so worth it to be able to be here with all of you
to help out welcome the vice president of the United States to Mass.
And I'm here today because it's our future intensity.
Unless the week, every single person in this room will help chart a new way forward
by elected columnaries.
I just grew up in total Wisconsin.
It's a rural community.
It's just that it's a rural community where folks don't necessarily always agree on things
when it comes to colleges.
But what we do agree on is that we need a leader in the White House who will fight for us
and who will share our values.
And Donald Trump does not care about students like you,
just like many of you.
He is responsible for making so that our sisters, friends, and neighbors
have fewer rights to our parents today.
He doesn't care if we're established to do the debt when we graduate
and he will continue to shell out big tax breaks for big oil executives
as they include our plan while we meet mass benefits.
The good news is that we give them power to choose a different view.
We've got a candidate who was appointed to take on students debt
to protect kids from gun violence and to ensure that everybody has the freedom
of faith in our own health care decisions.
And you guys all know this, but that candidate is common here.
And as I'm sure many of you know, early voting is already on the way to your Wisconsin.
And it's super, super easy to join your friends and go out and catch the ballot.
I have already gone to the more than you even voted an early question.
And a lot of other Democrats often don't know about it because it's just too long
and there's too much to take to sit this one out this year.
And I'm going to encourage you if everyone in this room
take out your phones, head to vote.wistoms.org
and find an early voting center that is convenient for you.
Yup.
And guys really the only thing easier than making a plan to vote
and finding where to vote was choosing which bubble I was going to fill out on that ballot.
It's obviously, it's Kamala Harris.
So without further ado is my honor to introduce the woman who will stop Donald Trump in his tracks.
Our next president of the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris.
And a lot in the United States.
I'm a people running because of women on Twitter and the crowd.
I'm a way, I'm a way to watch, to the title of the world.
I'm a light on the road, I'm a woman, I'm a love for me.
I'm a love for me.
I'm a love with Johnson!
Let's hear it for time!
Alright Madison are we ready to do this?
Are we ready to vote?
Are we ready to win?
It's good to be back in Madison, it's good to be back in my car.
And many of you may know when I was five years old my parents taught at the University of Wisconsin Madison.
And so for a time my sister Maya and I live not far from here in a house on Lake Mendota.
So it's good to be back and it is good to be with so many incredible leaders.
And I first of all want to thank everybody who is here right now for taking the time you have taken to be here.
I also want to thank our Governor of Wisconsin Evers, Governor Evers.
Thank you all way.
Every time I land he says welcome home.
Senator Baldwin.
Thank you for working families.
Representative Pokken.
Mayor Rhodes Conway.
Mandela Barnes.
And can we hear it for our amazing musicians Gracie Abrams.
Remi Wolf.
Good National.
Ed Mopford and Sons.
Alright, so Madison early voting has started.
Here in Madison you can vote early now through Sunday November 3rd.
And we need you to vote early Wisconsin because we have six days left in one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime.
And we have work to do.
But we like hard work.
Hard work.
Hard work is good work.
Hard work is joyful work.
And make no mistake, we will win.
And I will tell you, we will win, we will win because when you know what to stand for, you know what to fight for.
And we know we have an opportunity in Illinois.
Listen, we all want the war in Gaza to end and get the hostages out.
And I will do everything in my power to make it heard and know.
And everyone has the right to be heard, but right now I am speaking.
So Madison, we have an opportunity in this election to turn the page on a decade of Donald Trump trying to keep us divided and afraid of each other.
That is who he is, but Madison, that is not who we are.
And folks are exhausted and want it to stop the pointing fingers.
It is time that we start locking arms together as a people who rise and fall together.
And it is time for a new generation of leadership in America.
And I am ready to offer that leadership as the next President of the United States.
And Wisconsin, you know me, I am not afraid of tough fights.
For decades, as a prosecutor and a top law enforcement officer, for a big sake, I won fights.
I won fights.
Against the big banks that ribbed off homeowners.
Against for profit colleges that scammed veterans and students.
Against predators who abused women and children against cartels that trafficked in guns and drugs and in human beings.
And Wisconsin, if you give me the chance to fight on your behalf as President, there is nothing in the world that will stand in my way of fighting for you.
And here is the thing.
We know Donald Trump is.
This is not someone who is thinking about how to make your life better.
This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge.
Consumed with regents.
And outraged for unchecked power.
And in less than 90 days, it's either going to be him or me in no office.
And here is what you know and it is what we know.
If he is elected, it's not going to happen.
But if he were elected, on day one, Donald Trump would walk into that office with an enemies list.
You know, he talks about the enemies from within.
When I am elected, I will walk in with a to-do list focused on your life.
And at the top, and at the top of my list is bringing down your cost of living.
That will be my focus every single day as President.
I will give a middle class tax cut to over 100 million Americans.
We will enact the first ever federal ban on corporate price gouging on proceeds.
We will like to make sure hardworking Americans can actually afford a place to live.
And if any of you out there are caring for an elderly parent,
my plan will cover the cost of home care under Medicare.
So that seniors can get the help and care they need to stay in their own homes.
It's about dignity.
And my plan will lower the cost of childcare, cut taxes for small businesses.
Do we have small business owners here?
I love our small businesses.
My plan will lower health care costs because by the way, I believe access to health care should be a right and not just a privilege of going to the country.
It's about values.
On the other hand, Donald Trump's answer to the financial pressures you face was the same as it was last time.
Another trillion dollars in tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations.
Right.
And this time, he will pay for it with a 20% national sales tax on everything you buy that is imported.
Clothes, food, toys, cell phones, a Trump sales tax would cost the average American family nearly $4,000 more a year.
And on top of that, you would pay even more if Donald Trump finally gets his way and gets rid of the Affordable Care Act.
Remember how many times he's tried to do that?
And you're going because if he were successful, it would throw millions of Americans off of their health insurance and take us back to when insurance companies could deny people with preexisting conditions.
You remember what that was like?
Well, we are not going back.
We're not going back.
Just like Wisconsin's state motto tells us we will move forward.
Because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for freedom.
Freedom.
Like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own, not ever government tell her what to do.
And we all remember how we got here.
When Donald Trump was president, he had selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention.
With the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade, they did as he intended and now in America, one in three women lives in a state with a Trump abortion ban.
Men with no exceptions, even for rape and incest, which is immoral, immoral.
And look, Donald Trump's not done.
He would ban abortion nationwide.
Yes, even here in Wisconsin.
And he would restrict access to birth control, put IVF treatments at risk, and force states, listen to this, force states to monitor women's pregnancies, just Google Project 2025.
Read the plans yourself, and I know we all hear no.
One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply help beliefs to agree.
The government should be telling her what to do with her body.
Not the government.
And when Congress, together with Tammy's help, when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom nationwide, as president of the United States, I will proudly sign it into line.
So, Wisconsin, I am asking for your vote.
And here is my pledge to you.
As president, I pledge to seek common ground and common sense solutions to the challenges you face.
I am not looking to score political points.
I am looking to make progress.
And I pledge.
Because I know we can.
I know we can make progress.
And I pledge them to listen to experts, to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make, and to people who disagree with me.
Because look, unlike Donald Trump, I don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy.
He wants to put them in jail.
I'll give them a seat at my table.
And I pledge to always put country above party and self and to be a president for all Americans.
So it all comes down to this.
We are here together for many reasons, but one of the most important, we are here together because we love our country.
We love our country.
And when you love something, you fight for it.
And I do believe that one of the highest forms of patriotism of our expression for the love of our country is to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America.
I have always believed in our nation's promise because I have lived it.
I grew up as a child of the Civil Rights Movement.
My parents would take me to the marches when I was in a stroller, where people from every walk of life came together to fight for freedom and for opportunity.
Growing up, I saw how hard my mother worked to give her daughters the same chances our country gave her.
And I was blessed to have family by blood and family by love who instilled in me
the values of community and compassion and faith.
I've spent my life fighting for people who have been hurt or who have been counted out, but who never stopped believing that in our country anything is possible.
I have lived the promise of America.
And today, I see the promise of America in all of you, in all of you, in every one year.
I see it in the women who refuse to accept a future without reproductive freedom.
And the men who support them.
I see it in the fathers and mothers who work hard at every day for their children's future.
I see it in Republicans who never voted for a Democrat before, but put the Constitution of the United States over party.
And every day, I see the promise of America in all the young leaders who are voting for the first time.
And I love your generation. I just love you guys.
And let me tell you why. Let me tell you why. One of the reasons is you all are rightly impatient for change.
You, who have only known the climate crisis, are leading the charge to protect our planet and our future.
You, who grew up with active shooter drills, are fighting to keep our schools safe.
You, who now know fewer rights than your mothers and grandmothers, are standing up for freedom.
And what I know about you is these issues are not theoretical.
This is not political for you. This is your lived experience.
And I see you. And I see your power. I see your power. And I am so proud of you.
Can we hear it for our first time voters?
So Wisconsin, okay, we got six days to get this thing done, and no one can sit on the sidelines.
So let's spend the next six days so that when we look backward after the sixth day, we will know we did everything we could, okay?
So now's the time to knock on doors, to text, to call, to reach out to the family and friends and classmates and co-workers and neighbors.
And as we do, here's my request.
As we do all of that, let's be intentional about building community.
And let's be intentional about building coalitions.
Now, let's remember that the vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us.
And let's approach this.
Let's approach this with that spirit.
And with the spirit of in the face of a stranger seeing a neighbor.
Let's do it that way, okay?
Let's do it that way.
And let us remember that your vote is your voice, and your voice is your power.
So Madison, today I ask you, are you ready to make your voices heard?
Do we believe in freedom?
Do we believe in opportunity?
Do we believe in the promise of America?
And are we ready to fight for it?
And what ever we do, we believe in it!
And that's what it's doing.
God bless you.
