Vice President Kamala Harris used her closing assertion at Tuesday evening’s debate to border the distinction with Donald Trump.
“I think you’ve heard tonight two very different visions for our country, one that is focused on the future and the other that is focused on the past and an attempt to take us backward,” Harris mentioned.
I am going to inform you, I began my profession as a prosecutor. I used to be a D.A., I used to be an legal professional normal, a United States senator, and now vice chairman. I’ve solely had one shopper. The folks.
And I am going to inform you, as a prosecutor, I by no means requested a sufferer or witness. Are you a Republican or a Democrat? The one factor I ever requested them, “Are you okay?” And that is the type of president we’d like proper now. Somebody who cares about you and isn’t placing themselves first.
I intend to be a president for all People and concentrate on what we are able to do over the following ten and 20 years to construct again up our nation by investing proper now in you, the American folks.
As for the previous president, Donald Trump used his closing assertion on the debate to trash the nation he hopes to guide once more, characterizing the US as ”failing.”
We’re a failing nation. We’re a nation that’s in critical decline. We’re being laughed at everywhere in the world. Everywhere in the world they’re giggle—I do know the leaders very effectively – they’re coming to see me, they name me. We’re laughed at everywhere in the world, they don’t perceive what occurred to us as a nation.
We’re not a pacesetter. We don’t have any thought what’s occurring. We’ve wars occurring within the Center East, we’ve got wars occurring with Russia and Ukraine, we’re going to finish up in a 3rd world struggle. And it is going to be a struggle like no different due to nuclear weapons. The ability of weaponry.
I rebuilt our complete navy, she gave a whole lot of it away to the Taliban, she gave it to Afghanistan.
What these folks have accomplished to our nation and possibly hardest of all is permitting hundreds of thousands of individuals to come back into our nation, lots of them are criminals. And so they’re destroying our nation. The worst president, the worst vice chairman within the historical past of our nation.
