a very dishonest person.
I hate the way he disrespects women.
Voting against Trump and Fort Cabo Harris
is the right thing to do.
Please welcome New York Governor, Kathy Hochl.
Hello, Democrats!
Are you ready to elect Kamala Harris,
the first President of the United States?
Yes, you are.
Yes, you are.
Friends, like so many of us,
my grandparents came from Ireland as teenagers
with nothing but hope in their hearts
and fire in their bellies.
They built their lives in the promised land
of Buffalo, New York!
Yes!
A union card meant good work at the steel plant.
The steel plant that lifted my parents
from living in a trailer to the middle class,
like other families in my blue collar community,
they believed that with hard work
they could build a better future,
not just for themselves,
but for those with less hope and less opportunity.
I'm proud of my roots and the values I learned.
Grit, determination, compassion.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz
grew up with those same values.
And those values have always defined
the people of my state.
Well, most of us anyway.
Donald Trump was born a New Yorker,
but ended up a fraud, a philanderer, and a felon.
He wasn't raised with the New York values that I know.
He never had a worry about childcare costs
or groceries or rent.
He never had a worry about anything or anyone but himself.
Trust me, America,
if you think you're tired of Donald Trump,
talk to a New Yorker.
Yeah.
We've had to deal with him for 78 long years.
The fraud, the tax dodging,
the sham university, the shady charities.
We've seen him stiff contractors rip off workers.
He abuses women,
breaks about it, and then takes away their rights.
And New Yorkers are sick of it.
It's no wonder he had a fleet of Mar-a-Lago.
Sorry about that, Florida.
Sorry about that.
Trump hasn't spent much time in New York lately
except that is to get convicted of 34 felonies.
And that's just fine with us
because New York's motto is Excelsior, ever upward.
And Trump takes us ever downward
because here's what Trump never understood.
America isn't a luxury good to be bought and sold
by the privileged and powerful few.
America, we just can't afford another four years of that.
We have kids to feed roads to build jobs
to create real problems to solve.
And we need leaders who can get it done.
Trump talked big about bringing back manufacturing jobs.
But you know who actually did it.
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Thank you, Joe.
Thank you, Kamala.
And look no further than the city of Syracuse
where a company called Micron
is building a $100 billion microchip factory
with union labor.
It's the largest private investment in American history
and it's going to create 50,000 good paying jobs.
The Biden-Harris administration
has made the most significant investments
in our economy and generations.
And as President, Kamala Harris will continue to build
an opportunity economy for all.
My friends, history's watching us.
Together, we must protect abortion rights.
Together, we must protect the middle class.
Together, we must protect the American dream.
And together, we must elect Kamala Harris,
President of the United States.
Thank you.
Trying to rain, trying to rain on the thunder.
Tell the storm I'm new.
I'm gonna walk on my march on the regular.
Ain't no wire flat blue.
What kind of America do we want?
One we were divided, angry,
and depressed.
Come on, we were Americans.
Fascism, we conquered it.
The moon landed on it.
The future, building it.
Freedom, freedom.
Nobody loves it more.
And we fight for it.
Freedom, come here,
and we love freedom.
Where are you?
I need freedom, too.
I pray today.
Freedom from control.
I love freedom from freedom.
Freedom from extremism and fear.
Streamers want to take us back,
but we are not going back.
I'm gonna keep it running,
because the women don't quit on themselves.
We go forward.
That's American.
And we need a leader who is for the people.
Ours is a fight for the future.
Kamala Harris,
protecting people from predators and big drug cartels,
holding Wall Street banks accountable.
A crime perpetrated against our middle class.
Standing up to dictators
and fighting for all of us.
I say we fight.
That's our choice.
A prosecutor or a felon.
Are you ready to make your voices heard?
Do we believe in the promise of America?
And are we ready to fight for it?
I'm gonna keep it running,
because the women don't quit on themselves.
And when we fight, we win.
Freedom, freedom, I can't move.
Freedom from the wheelchair.
Freedom, freedom, I owe you.
I need a leader too.
I'm going to raise up on myself.
And I'm gonna keep it running,
because the women don't quit on themselves.
Good evening, everyone.
Good evening, good evening.
It is so good to be with everyone this evening
in this hall and everyone at home.
This is going to be a great week.
And I wanna kick us off
by celebrating our incredible president, Joe Biden,
who will be speaking later tonight.
Joe, thank you for your historic leadership
for your lifetime of service to our nation.
And for all you will continue to do,
we are forever grateful to you.
Thank you, Joe.
And looking out,
looking out at everyone tonight,
I see the beauty of our great nation.
People from every corner of our country
and every walk of life are here,
united by our shared vision
for the future of our country.
And this November, we will come together
and declare with one voice
as one people we are moving forward.
With optimism, hope, and faith
so guided by our love of country
knowing we all have so much more in common
than what separates us.
Let us fight for the ideals we hold dear
and let us always remember
when we fight, we win.
God bless you, God bless the United States of America.
Good night, everyone.
Please welcome
actor and director, Tony Goldwyn.
Hello, Chicago.
And hello to everyone tuning in
from all across America.
Welcome to the first night
of the Democratic National Convention.
Now, how is that for an opening act?
I'm just saying.
Now, as our Vice President just said,
over the next four days,
we will be bringing folks together
from all around the country,
people from every walk of life
to talk about this nation we love
and about a candidate
who has devoted her life to public service
who never shies away from a righteous fight
and who always stands up for the people.
We are going to talk about the choice
America faces in this election.
It's a choice not just between two very different candidates,
but between two very different futures.
We will hear from every day Americans
about what is truly at stake in this campaign.
The future of our middle class,
the future of reproductive rights,
the future of our climate,
our security, our schools,
the future of our freedom,
the future of our very democracy.
We will see the vision of our nominee.
It is a vision of stability,
security, and opportunity for everyday Americans
where we continue to grow this economy
by growing the middle class.
And where the safety of our children,
our families, and our communities
are a fundamental civil rights.
It is a future where,
instead of scoffing at allies
and fawning over dictators,
our president stands up for our friends.
Faces down our adversaries
and American democracy
remains a beacon of hope
and inspires the world to take on
our biggest challenges together.
We'll learn the story
of a leader who has dedicated her life
to making doing the work
of making good on the promise of America.
A leader who understands the middle class
because she grew up in the middle class.
A leader who has taken on powerful interests
at every step of her career
and fought for the rights and freedoms
of all of us.
And then, of course,
I will hear again from the Democratic nominee herself,
the next president of the United States of America,
Kamala Harris!
CHEERING
Because she has a message for us.
It is a message that's joyful,
not mean-spirited.
A message of public service, not self-service.
A message of optimism and opportunity,
not chaos and division.
A message that has woken us up
to who we are,
to who we've always been,
because Americans are not a cynical people.
We are not small-minded.
And whether we realize it right now or not,
we are currently already writing
a new chapter of the American story.
And we can dream as big as we want.
So, I just want to ask you,
are you excited?
Yeah?
Well, good.
Are you ready?
Okay.
Well, then I challenge you
to make this the moment
you get off the sidelines
and into the game.
So, I want you to text Join
to 3-0, 3-3-0,
and get involved.
Because when we fight, what happens?
We win.
And we are going to win this thing together.
And while we're doing it,
we are going to have a whole lot of fun.
So, let's get started.
Please welcome 9-time NBA champion
and coach of the 2024
Olympic gold-winning men's basketball team,
Steve Kerr.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
It is so fun to be back here
in the United Center.
And as you guys know,
a lot of good stuff has happened
in this building.
Especially in the 90s.
You young people,
Google, Michael Jordan,
and you can read all about it, okay?
So, there was an amazing vibe
in this building back in those days.
And I feel that same
winning spirit here tonight.
So, the last time I was in a packed
basketball arena was in Paris, France.
Nine days ago,
some of the best players on Earth,
12 incredible American men
came together to win Olympic gold.
And the next night,
I was back in that same building
watching 12 more of the best players on Earth.
Our incredible American women
do the same thing.
And I cannot think of a better metaphor
for what this country is all about
than the way Team USA came together
at the Olympics.
We had players from across our
wonderful country,
players who have trained
and fought relentlessly,
shed tears trying to beat one another
throughout their careers,
joining forces to wear
the red, white, and blue.
And when we won,
the American flag
raised to the rafters,
the national anthem playing,
gold medals draped around
the necks of our players,
whose hands were held
over their hearts.
It was the proudest moment
of my life.
Thank you.
Now, I could never have imagined
that a few days later,
I would receive an invitation
to step into a different
kind of arena.
And so here I am.
I know, I know very well,
that speaking out about politics
these days comes with risks.
I can see the shut up
and whistle tweets being fired
off as we speak.
But I also knew, as soon as I was
asked, that it was too important
as an American citizen not to
speak up in an election of this
magnitude.
The reason I said yes to speaking
here tonight is that as a coach
and former player, as a husband,
a son, a father, even a grandfather,
and as an American,
I believe in a certain kind
of leadership.
I believe that leaders must
display dignity.
I believe that leaders
must tell the truth.
I believe that leaders should
be able to laugh at themselves.
I believe leaders must care for
and love the people they are leading.
I believe leaders must possess
knowledge and expertise,
but with the full awareness
that none of us has all the answers.
And, in fact,
some of the best answers
often come from members of the team.
And if you look for those qualities
in your friends or your boss
or an employee or your child's
teacher or your mayor,
then shouldn't you want those same
qualities in your president?
And when you think about it
that way, this is no contest.
With Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,
I see all those qualities.
They have devoted their lives
to serving other people.
Whether Vice President Harris
was defending her community
in the courtroom
or Governor Walz was inspiring
the next generation in the classroom
or on the field for that matter.
By the way,
Coach to Coach,
that guy is awesome.
Although,
I have to say Coach Walz
way too much reliance on the Blitz
in 99 against Mankato East,
you had a strong defensive line.
I would have played more press coverage
with your corners
and then dropped the safeties
into a Tampa 2.
That's just me.
Sorry.
I wanted you to know
how I feel every day
of the NBA season.
But listen,
the joy, the compassion,
the commitment to our country
that we saw at the Olympics,
that is what Kamala Harris
and Tim Walz have.
And it is what our country needs.
Leadership.
Real leadership.
Not the kind that seeks to divide us
but the kind that recognizes
and celebrates our common purpose.
Think about what our team
achieved with 12 Americans in Paris,
putting aside rivalries
to represent our country.
Now imagine what we could do
with all 330 million of us
playing on the same team.
Not as Democrats,
not as Republicans,
not as libertarians,
but as Americans.
Who know the greatness of this nation
doesn't come from any one of us,
but from each of us
doing our part to build a more perfect union.
That vision is what this campaign is all about.
It's why I'm here tonight.
And it's why I'll be getting out every day
to help people get out and vote
on November 5th
and elect Kamala Harris
and Tim Walz
as the next President
and Vice President of the United States.
And,
and,
after the results are tallied that night,
we can,
in the words of the great,
in the words of the great,
Steph Curry,
we can tell Donald Trump
night night.
Thank you.
Let me tell you folks in Ohio
and in this area,
don't sell your house,
do not sell it.
We're going to get those jobs
coming back and we're going to fill up those factors
to what's going to happen.
But Trump lied
and abandoned Lordstown.
This is about a community.
It's going to be a big change
to go somewhere else.
The GM factory in Lordstown did close,
putting thousands of people out of work
because Donald Trump doesn't care
about our communities.
All those jobs went away,
and he did nothing.
He did not do one thing
for those workers there.
He didn't come and make promises.
He came and made false promises.
Kind of lost hope in everything.
I don't really want to leave.
But then something changed.
Instead of lies and broken promises,
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris got to work
and brought U.S. manufacturing jobs back,
including to Lordstown.
Kamala will continue to have workers' backs
and get the job done.
American workers deserve a fighter,
and that's exactly what Kamala Harris is.
Do we believe in opportunity?
Yes!
Are we ready to fight for it?
Please welcome United Auto Workers President Sean Fane.
All right.
All right.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Good evening, America,
and good evening to the people
that make this world move,
in class.
On behalf of one million active and retired members
of the UAW,
I am honored to support Kamala Harris
and Tim Walls to be our next president
and vice president.
And I want to say thank you
to Joe Biden for making history
by walking the picket line with the UAW.
For the UAW and for working class people everywhere,
this election comes down to one question.
Which side are you on?
On one side we have Kamala Harris
and Tim Walls,
who have stood shoulder to shoulder
with the working class.
On the other side we have Trump and Vance.
Two lap dogs for the billionaire class
who only serve themselves.
So for us in the labor movement,
it's real simple.
Kamala Harris is one of us.
She's a fighter for the working class.
And Donald Trump is a scam.
That's not just my opinion.
That's a fact.
All we have to do is look at the track record
do is look at the track record. When Donald Trump was president, corporate
America ran wild. Donald Trump did not bring back the auto industry. When Donald
Trump was president, auto poets closed. Trump did nothing. Trump told workers in
Lordstown, Ohio that he would be bringing all the auto jobs back. And Trump did
nothing. In 2019, General Moto workers went on strike for 40 days for good jobs
and a better life. And Trump did nothing. Talk is cheap. But in 2019, you know who
was on the picket line standing shoulder to shoulder with auto workers? I'll give
you a clue. Her initials are Kamala Harris. In 2023. Who helped bring jobs back to
Lordstown, Ohio? Kamala Harris. And in 2024, who will stand with the working class in
our fight for justice? Kamala Harris. And that's the difference. Donald Trump is all
talk and Kamala Harris walks the wall. In the words of the great American poet, Nellie,
is getting hot in here. It's hot in here. It's hot in here because you're fired up
when you're fed up and the American working class is fired up and fed up. The American
working class is in a fight for our lives. And if you don't believe me, just last night,
blue collar workers, UAW members at Cornell University had to walk out on strike for a
better life because they're fighting corporate greed. And our only hope is to attack corporate
greed head on. Corporate greed turns blue collar blood, sweat and tears into Wall Street
stock buybacks and CEO jackpots. It causes inflation. It hurts workers. It hurts consumers
and it hurts America. And corporate greed is alive and well in the auto industry. You know,
last fall, we achieved life changing gains in our strike at the big three. We even want
a commitment to reopen a closed plant not too far from here. We were able to do that thanks
to the support of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and the thousands of auto workers that went on
strike. But a year later, one company wants to go back on their commitments in our contract.
And let me be clear, Stalinist must keep the promises they made to America in our union contract.
And the UAW will take whatever acts is necessary at Stalinist or any other corporation to stand up
and hold corporate America accountable. And when the UAW stands up, we know who stands with us and
who stands against us. Donald Trump laughs about firing workers who go on strike. And
Kamala Harris stands shoulder to shoulder with workers when they're on strike. And that's the
difference between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump the scab. Trump is pushing divide and conquer tactics
of the rich. It's the oldest trick in the book. They want to blame the frustration of the working
class people. They want to take those frustrations. They want to blame it on race. They want to blame
it on the LGBTQ plus people. They want to blame it on some destitute and desperate person at the
border. They do that because they want working class people to be divided and to focus and keep
the focus of the one true enemy, corporate greed. The rich think we're stupid. But working class
Americans see this for what it is. This is our generation's defining moment. So I have a question
for you. Are you ready to stand up, speak up, and show up and put Kamala Harris and Tim Walls
in the White House? We needed a fender of the working class in the White House, someone who is
one of us and someone who knows how to fight. And that fighter is the next president of the United
States, Kamala Harris. Thank you.
Please welcome New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Thank you, Kamala Harris and Tim Walls, for your vision.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you,
for your energy. Thank you, Kamala Harris and Tim Walls, for your vision.
And thank you, Joe Biden, for your leadership.
You know, six years ago, I was taking on lit orders as a waitress in New York City.
I didn't have health insurance. My family was fighting off foreclosure. And we were struggling
with bills after my dad passed away unexpectedly from cancer. Like millions of Americans, we were
just looking for an honest shake. And we were tired of a cynical politics that seemed blind to the
realities of working people. It was then, only through the miracles of democracy and community,
that the good people of the Bronx and Queens chose someone like me to elect them in Congress.
And America, in my heart, I know from that same cloth of hope and aspiration,
we will also elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walls as president and vice president of the United
States of America. I am here tonight because America has before us a rare and precious opportunity.
In Kamala Harris, we have a chance to elect a president who is for the middle class because she
is from the middle class. She understands the urgency of rent checks and groceries and prescriptions.
She is as committed to our reproductive and civil rights as she is to taking on corporate greed.
And she is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and bringing hostages home.
In Kamala Harris, I see a leader who understands. I see a leader with a real commitment to a better
future for working families. And Chicago, we have to help her win.
Because we know that Donald Trump would sell this country for a dollar if it meant lining his own
pockets and greasing the palms of his Wall Street friends. And I, for one, am tired about
hearing about how a two-bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman
who fights every single day to let working people out from under the boots of greed
traveling on our way of life. The truth is done. You cannot love this country if you only fight
for the wealthy and big business. To love this country is to fight for its people,
all people, working people, everyday Americans like bartenders and factory workers and fast food
cashiers who punch a clock and are on their feet all day in some of the toughest jobs out there.
You know, ever since I got elected, Republicans have attacked me by saying that I should go back
to bartending. But let me tell you, I'm happy to any day of the week because there is nothing
wrong with working for a living. Imagine, imagine having leaders in the White House who
understand that. Leaders like Kamala and Tim. But Chicago, just because the choice is clear to us
does not mean that the path will be easy. Over the next 78 days, we will have to pour every
ounce, every minute, every moment into making history on November 5th.
But we cannot send Kamala and Tim to the White House alone.
Together, we must also elect strong Democratic majorities in the House and in the Senate so that
we can deliver on an ambitious agenda for the people. Because if you are a working parent trying to
afford rent and childcare, Kamala is for you. If you are a senior who had to go back to work
because your retirement didn't stretch far enough, Kamala is for you.
If you're an immigrant family, just starting your American story, Kamala is for you.
America, when we knock on our neighbor's door, organize our communities and elect Kamala Harris
to the presidency on November 5th, we will send a loud message that the people of this nation
will not go back. We choose a new path and open the door to a new day, one that is for the people
and by the people. Thank you. Thank you very much. God bless God bless you all.
God bless you all.
Wow. How about that AOC? Good Lord.
So Kamala Harris' story begins in a middle-class neighborhood in the East Bay.
Yeah. In a modest apartment above a nursery school, in a close-knit community where people
looked out for one another, with a mother who instilled in Kamala Harris the core principles
that have defined her life in public service. These are the experiences that made her the leader
she is today.
The neighborhood we grew up in was a very hard-working middle-class, tight-knit community.
Families going to church on Sunday. Kids playing in the front yard.
Mommy got us these bright blue matching bikes with banana seats and we were surrounded by carrying
adults. This neighborhood on Bancroft Way, we've spent so much time here. Behind me is where it all
began. Her mom, Shammala, rented the apartment that was above the Shelton's nursery. So in the
beginning, Mrs. Shelton used to babysit the girls. Shammala was a single mom. Life was not easy for
them, but she loved her daughters fiercely. Kamala herself says that her mom told her that
she may be the first to do many things, but to make sure that she's not the last. She's always been
that kind of person, a true leader, and very protective of her friends and her family.
When Kamala was all of four years old, her best friend in kindergarten, Stacy Johnson,
got into something with another kid on the playground. This one particular day,
we had made some clay art and this one boy in our class had taken mine for whatever reason
and threw it on the ground and it shattered. So Kamala, being very protective, just jumped in
front of me and stood up to him. To me, that shows the kind of person that she has always been
to stand up to the bully and to stand up for the underdog and to stand up for what is right.
Kamala carries the lessons of our mother, the fighting spirit of our mother, the compassion,
and I have seen it over and over again in our growing up. When we were in high school,
my sister's friend, Wanda, was being molested by a family member and Kamala just jumped in.
She wanted her to come and stay with us and mommy said, of course, that is Kamala. She can't help
herself from standing up for people and standing up for what she thinks is right.
She has been that way our whole lives. Being a protector is what led her to become a prosecutor.
Looking back now, I could say it was her calling.
Please welcome Stacey Johnson Batiste and Doris Johnson.
Good evening. I am Stacey Johnson Batiste and this is my mom Doris Johnson.
We are so excited and honored to be here with you. Kamala and I have known each other for a long time.
We met at Berkwood Head School. We hit it off immediately and became each other's very first
best friends. Our moms also became fast friends. On weekends, we would call until my 1966 Mustang
and Kamala's mom, Shavala, was sitting in the front with me and Kamala and Maya and Stacey
would sit in the back and off we would go to a movie or some adventure. My mom still has that
Mustang. Kamala and I both get our grit from our mothers. Kamala has always been a protector.
One day at school, we made clay art projects during story time when they were outside on tables
too dry for whatever reason a boy in our class took mine through it on the ground and it shattered.
Kamala jumped in between him and me and said something that made him so mad he picked up a rock
or something and hit her on the head. Blood came streaming down the school called Shavala to
come take her to the hospital. The stitches she got left a scar over one of her eyes. She still has
it. That's the kind of person Kamala has always been from the very beginning. Someone who doesn't
hesitate to stand up for what's right, to take up for the underdog and to stand up to bullies.
I have seen it time and again whether the bully is an individual, a gang or a corporation,
she fights for all of us. Before we go, I know my mom has one more thing to say.
Kamala, your mom would be so proud of you.
Please welcome former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Thank you all so much.
Thank you, my fellow Democrats. Thank you, my fellow Americans.
Thank you so much.
Thank you all, thank you, thank you, thank you so much.
Wow, there's a lot of energy in this room just like there is across the country.
Something is happening in America. You can feel it. Something we've worked for and dreamed of
for a long time. First though, let's salute President Biden.
He has been democracy's champion at home and abroad. He brought dignity, decency and confidence
back to the White House. And he showed what it means to be a true patriot.
Thank you, Joe Biden, for your lifetime of service and leadership.
And now we are writing a new chapter in America's story.
You know, my mother Dorothy was born right here in Chicago before women had the right to vote.
That changed 104 years ago yesterday. Think about it. Tennessee became the final state.
To ratify the 19th amendment to the Constitution, the state legislature was deadlocked until one
lawmaker's mother, a widow who read three newspapers a day, sent a letter to her son.
No more delays, she wrote. Give us the vote. And since that day, every generation has carried
the torch forward. In 1972, a fearless black congresswoman named Shirley Chisholm.
She ran for president.
And her determination let me and millions of others dream bigger, not just because of who she was,
but because of who she fought for. Working parents, poor children, the last, the least in the lost.
In 1984, I brought my daughter to see Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman nominated for vice president.
If we can do this, Jerry said we can do anything. And then there was 2016 when it was the honor of
my life to accept our party's nomination for president.
And nearly 66 million Americans voted for a future where there are no ceilings on our dreams.
And afterwards, we refused to give up on America. Millions marched, many ran for office. We kept our
eyes on the future. Well, my friends, the future is here.
I wish my mother and Kamala's mother could see us. They would say, keep going. Shirley and Jerry
would say, keep going. Women, women fighting for reproductive health care are saying, keep going.
Families building better lives, parents stretching to afford child care, young people struggling
to pay the rent. They're all asking us to keep going.
So with faith in each other and joy in our hearts, let's send Kamala Harris and Tim walls to the
White House. The story of my life and the history of our country is that progress is possible,
but not guaranteed. We have to fight for it and never, ever give up. There is always a choice.
Do we push forward or pull back? Come together as we the people or split into us versus them.
That's the choice we face in this election. Kamala has the character experience and vision to lead
us forward. I know her heart and her integrity. We both got our start as young lawyers, helping
children who were abused and neglected. That kind of work changes a person. Those kids stay with you.
Kamala carries with her the hopes of every child she protected, every family she helped,
every community she served. So as president, she will always have our backs.
And she will be a fighter for us. She will fight to lower costs for hard-working families,
open the doors wide for good paying jobs, and yes, she will restore abortion rights nationwide.
As a prosecutor, Kamala locked up murderers and drug traffickers. She will never rest in defense
of our freedom and safety. Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial. And when he woke up,
he made his own kind of history, the first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions.
As vice president, as vice president, Kamala sat in the situation room.
But we also know as vice president, Kamala sat in the situation room and stood for America's
values. I know what it takes that I can tell you as commander in chief, Kamala won't disrespect
our military and our veterans. She, she reveres our Medal of Honor recipients.
She won't be sending love letters to dictators.
She will defend democracy and our Constitution and will protect America from enemies, foreign
and domestic. Think about it. The Constitution says the president's job is to take care
that the laws be faithfully executed. Those are the words of our founders. Take care.
Just look at the candidates. Kamala cares, cares about kids and families, cares about America.
Donald only cares about himself.
On her first day in court, Kamala said five words that still guide her. Kamala Harris for the
people. That is something that Donald Trump will never understand. So it is no surprise is it that
he is lying about Kamala's record. He's mocking her name and her laugh. Sounds familiar.
But we have him on the run now.
So, so no matter what the polls say, we can't let up. We can't get driven down crazy conspiracy
rabbit holes. We have to fight for the truth. We have to fight for Kamala as she will fight
for us. Because you know what? It still takes a village to raise a family, kill a country and win
a campaign. And America needs every one of us, our energy, our talents, our dreams.
We're not just electing a president. We're uplifting our nation. We're opening the promise
of America wide enough for everyone. Together, we put a lot of cracks in the highest, hardest,
glass ceiling. And tonight, tonight so close to breaking through once and for all,
I want to tell you what I see through all those cracks and why it matters for each and every one
of us. What do I see? I see freedom. I see the freedom to make our own decisions about our health,
our lives, our loves, our families, the freedom to work with dignity and prosper,
to worship as we choose or not, to speak our minds freely and honestly. I see freedom from fear and
intimidation, from violence and injustice, from chaos and corruption. I see the freedom to look
our children in the eye and say, in America, you can go as far as your hard work and talent will take
you and mean it. And you know what? On the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala, Harris, raising
your hand.
