Kamala Harris

"So I was raised as a middle class kid. And I am actually the only person on this stage who has a plan that is about lifting up the middle class and working people of America. I believe in the ambition, the aspirations, the dreams of the American people. And that is why I imagine and have actually planned to build what I call an opportunity economy."

"My opponent on the other hand, his plan, is to do what he has done before. Which is to provide a tax cut for billionaires and big corporations, which will result in $5 trillion to America's deficit."

"What Goldman Sachs has said is that Donald Trump's plan would make the economy worse. Mine would strengthen the economy."

"My plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small businesses, knowing they are part of the backbone of America's economy."

"I have a plan to give startup businesses $50,000 tax deduction. To pursue their ambitions, their innovation, their ideas, their hard work. I have a plan $6,000 for young families for the first year of your child's life to help you in that most critical stage of your child's development. I have a plan that is about allowing people to be able to pursue what has been fleeting in terms of the American dream by offering a help with down payment of $25,000 or down payment assistance for first-time home buyers."

"Donald Trump left us the worst public health epidemic in a century."

"And what the Affordable Care Act has done is eliminate the ability of insurance companies to deny people with pre-existing conditions."

"Donald Trump said he was going to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices he never did, we did. And now we have kept the cost of insulin at $35 a month. Since I've been Vice President, we have kept the cost of prescription medication for seniors at $2,000 a year and when I am President, we will do that for all people understanding that the value I bring to this is that access to health care should be a right and not just a privilege of those who can afford it."

"The former vice president called for defunding federal law enforcement 45,000 agents."

"I'm the only person on this stage who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations for the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings."

"I know there are so many families watching tonight who have been personally affected by the surge of fentanyl in our country."

"Tim Walz and I are both gun owners. We're not taking anybody's guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff."

"Donald Trump has selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v Wade. And they did exactly as he intended. And now in over 20 states, there are Trump abortion bands, which make it criminal for a doctor or nurse to provide healthcare in one state."

"I have talked with women around our country. You want to talk about this is what people wanted. Pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term suffering from a miscarriage being denied care in an emergency room because the healthcare providers are afraid they might go to jail. And she's bleeding out in a car in the parking lot. She didn't want that. Her husband didn't want that. A 12 or 13 year old survivor of incest being forced to carry a pregnancy to term. They don't want that. And I pledge to you. When Congress passes a bill to put back in place the protections of Roe v Wade as president of the United States, I will proudly sign it in to law."

"We know that we can actually deal with this issue, the young people of America care deeply about this issue. And I am proud that as Vice President over the last four years, we have invested a trillion dollars in a clean energy economy while we have also increased domestic gas production to historic levels."

"I will be a president that will protect our fundamental rights and freedoms, including the right of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do."

"And I say, look, when we all want a system that says that in any negotiation, the outcome would be fair. All reasonable people should want that in any negotiation, the outcome would be fair."

"He said he was the only one who could bring back America's manufacturing jobs. Then American auto manufacturers announced the closure of six auto plants when he was president."

"He cut taxes for corporations that shipped 200,000 American jobs overseas during his presidency."

"So I say all this to say to the friends that America, as we all know, is ready to chart a new way forward. That is optimistic about what we can achieve when we are working together."

"He intends to cut Social Security and Medicare."

"Donald Trump's answer to the financial pressures you face are the same as they were last time. Another trillion dollars in tax cuts for billionaires in the biggest corporations."

"We will do the work of lowering healthcare costs because I believe I believe so deeply and strongly."

"Donald Trump, when he was president, had selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v Wade. Imagine in America today, one in three women lives in a state with a Trump abortion ban."

"And Donald Trump's not done. He would ban abortion nationwide. Yes, even here in Wisconsin were that to happen. And he would restrict access to birth control, put IVF treatments at risk."

"Our top priority as a nation four years ago was to end the pandemic and rescue the economy. Now, our biggest challenge is to lower costs, cost that we're rising even before the pandemic, and they're still too high."

"I have met so many young people who have a natural desire to parent their children well, but not always the resources to do it. I'll work to lower the cost of childcare, which is out of reach for too many working families today."

"And for too many people in the sandwich generation, who are raising young children and taking care of a parent, juggling all of it is extremely difficult."

"You know, I took care of my mother once she got sick, cooking foods that she had a taste for, finding clothes that would not irritate her skin. And currently, if you need home care and you don't have some money to hire someone, you and your family need to deplete your savings to qualify for help. That's just not right."

"When I was a attorney general of a border state, I saw the chaos and violence caused by transnational criminal organizations that I took on."

"I will work with Democrats and Republicans to sign into law the border security bill that Donald Trump killed."

"I saw the chaos and violence caused by transnational criminal organizations that I took on."

"Our top priority as a nation four years ago was to end the pandemic and rescue the economy."

"I grew up as a child of the civil rights movement. I've lived the promise of America."

"One and three women in America think about it. That is immoral and Trump's not done."
