If youre a working person worried about whether or not you have a job to go to whether or not youre be able to pay your mortgage pay your rent worried about the poison of the air you breathe the water you drink worried about your civil rights even your basic right to dignity which is under attack with this administration comma harris has had your back and now we have to have her back she going to stand with me in this campaign and all of us are going to stand up for her on january 20th 2021 ra going to watch senator harris raise a right hand and swear the oath of office as the 1st woman ever to serve in the 2nd highest office in america in this land and that were going to get to work fixing the mess a President Trump and Vice President of pence have created both at home and abroad through 4 years of mismanagement and coddling of terrorist and thugs around the world not only will america dig itself out of this hole they put us in were going to build were going to build back were going to build back better we have a Public Health crisis while hes in court trying to do away with health care with more than 5000000 reported infections 165000 people dead and climbing as a consequence of code 90 and still no months later no real leadership or a plan from the president on states how to get this pandemic under control no real help for the states and local governments trying to fill the vacuum of leadership from the white house no real help. For children and educators for Small Businesses and front line workers that hold on to their ones are holding our country together instead. Hes issuing executive orders and making promises that the end will define end of the Social Security system all insisting that this virus will disappear the joe biden income will hire Us Administration to have a comprehensive plan to meet the challenge of covert 90 and turn the corner on this pandemic maskey clear science based guidance dramatically scaling up testy getting states and local governments and resources they need to open the schools and businesses safely we can do this we just need a president a Vice President willing to lead and take responsibility not as this president says its not my fault the government the governor should thank me more as a whole saying goes give me a break we have an economic crisis but more than 16000000 americans 16000000 still out of work donald trump is on track to break another record on track to leave office of the worst jobs record of any american president modern history but instead of doing the hard work of meeting face to face with congressional leaders democrats and republicans in the white house like every other president is done in a crisis to get americans the relief they need and deserve donald trump is on the golf course if i told you this 3 years ago you look at me like i was being crazy he hasnt even met with the leadership he doesnt have time it appears. With the Climate Crisis that donald trump refuses to even acknowledge and he thinks about Climate Change all here we hear is the word hoax biden has the ministrations going to meet the Climate Crisis protect the health of the American Public and along the way were going to deliver one word jobs good paying jobs who are racial cry just as crisis doll shop seeks only to inflame it with this politics of racist rhetoric and appeals to division you know todays not only the day im proud to do senator kamel harris as the Vice President ial nominee of the Democratic Party its also the 3rd anniversary of that terrible danger charlottesville remember remember what it felt like to see those neo nazis close your eyes and those klansmen White Supremacists coming out of fields carrying lighted torches faces contorted bulging they pour into the streets of historic American City spewing the same an isometric bile we heard in hitlers germany in the 30s remember how it fell to see a violent clash ensue between those celebrating hate and those standing against it it was a wake up call for all of us as a country for me it was a call to action my father used to say silence is complicity not a riginal to him but he believed it at that moment i knew i couldnt stand by and let donald trump a man who went on to say when asked about what he thought he said they were very fine people on both sides quote very fine people on both sides no president of United States america has ever said anything like that. Seme continuing to attack everything that makes America America i knew we were in the battle for the soul of the nation. Thats why i decided to run and im proud now to have senator harris at my side in that battle because she shares it with the same intensity i do for she someone who knows whats at stake the question is for all americans the answer who are we as a nation what do we stand for. And most importantly what do we want to be. You know someone who knows that the future of this country is limited only by the barriers we place on our own imaginations because theres nothing americans cannot achieve. When we put our minds to it and we do it together. One of the reasons i chose comma is because we both believe that we can define america simply in one word possibilities possibilities that he said again possibilities thats america thats what sets this nation apart. Is that everyone. Everyone the ability for everyone and we mean everyone to go as far and dream as big as hard work and their god given ability will take them. When i agreed to serve as president obamas running mate. He has been number questions as have hass comma the most important was he said to me what he asked me what i wanted most importantly. I told him i wanted to be the last person in the room before he made important decisions. Thats what i asked camelot. Asked common would be the last voice in the room. Always tell me the truth which she will challenge my assumptions if she disagrees ask the hard questions. Because thats the way we make the best decisions for the American People. I got a chance to spend some time in my home today. With kamel and doug. The want to thank them i thank the members thank them publicly for green to join and take this journey with killing me doug. Youre going to have to learn what it means to be a barrier breaker yourself in this job youre about to take on americas 1st 2nd gentleman. And all there although theyre not with us here today i want to thank ellen cole was well i did chance to speak to dougs mom and dad and ellen cole and were going to get our kids together to let them know what whats coming our grandchildren are about the age of their children. Got to speak to them my campaign has always been a Family Affair every campaign ive run. So ive got some news for you and. Youre all honorary bidens. And heres the best part camila youve been an honorary biden for quite some time. You know i came 1st to know how common it was through our son beau biden. They were friends they served as attorney general at the same time it took the same big they took on the same big fights together kamel in California Well here in delaware big fights that helped change the entire country i know how much ball respect to comment on our work and that matter a lot to me to be honest with you as i made this decision. So now we need to get to work plea this nation out of these crises we find ourselves in getting our economy back on track you 19 this nation and yes we need the battle for the soul of america my fellow americans now let me to do is to you for the 1st time your next Vice President of states kamo parents probably. Floors your. Money. Thank you joe. Thank you jeff. As i said joe when you called me i am incredibly honored by this responsibility and im ready to get to work im ready to get to work. After the most competitive primary in history the country received a resoundingly message that joe was the person to lead us forward. And joe im so proud to stand with you and i do so mindful of all the heroic and ambitious women before me who sacrifice determination and resilience makes my presence here today even possible. This is a moment of real consequence for America Everything we care about our economy our health our children the kind of country we live in its all on the line. Were reeling from the worst Public Health crisis in a century. The president s mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and were experiencing a moral reckoning with racism and systemic injustice that has brought a new coalition of conscience to the streets of our country demanding change america is crying out for leadership yet we have a president who cares more about himself than the people who elected him a president who is making every challenge we face even more difficult to song but heres the good news we dont have to accept the failed government of donald trump and mike pence in just 83 days we have a chance to choose a Better Future for our country. So. Dr biden. Thank you for the trust youve placed in me jill i know you will be an incredible 1st lady. And my husband and i are so grateful grateful to become a part of your extended family. And ever since i received joes call ive been thinking yes about the 1st biden that i really came to know and that of course is joes beloved son one of his beloved sons bow in the midst of the Great Recession bo and i spoke on the phone practically every day sometimes multiple times a day working together to win back billions of dollars for homeowners from the big banks of the nation that were foreclosing on peoples homes. And let me just tell you about beau biden i learned quickly that bo was the kind of guy who inspired people to be a better version of themselves he really was the best of us and when i would ask him where do you get back where this comes from hed always talk about his dad. And i will tell you the love that they shared was incredible to watch it was the most beautiful display of the love between a father and a son. And botox about how joe would spend 4 hours every day riding the rails back and forth from wilmington to washington so he could make breakfast choice kids in the morning and make it home in time to tuck them in bed each night all of this so 2 little boys who had just lost their mom and their sister in a tragic accident would know that the world was still turning and thats how i came to know joe. Hes someone whose 1st response when things get tough is never to think about himself but to care for everyone else he someone who never asks why is this happening to me and instead asks what can i do to make life better for you. His empathy his compassion his sense of duty to care for others is why i am so proud to be on this ticket. And joe and i yes we are cut from the same cloth family is everything to me too and i cannot wait for america to get to know my husband again our amazing kids colin allen. Because whether im cheering in the bleachers at a swim meet are setting up a college room dorm or helping my god daughter prepare for her School Debate are building legos with my god son or hugging my 2 baby nieces or cooking dinner sunday dinner my family means everything to me. And ive had a lot of titles over my career and certainly Vice President will be great but mama will always be the one that means the moused. And you know my mother and father they came from opposite sides of the world to arrive in america one from india and the other from jamaica in search of a world class education but what brought them together was the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960 s. And thats how they met as students in the streets of oakland marching and shouting for this thing called justice and a struggle that continues today and i was part of it my parents would bring me to protests strapped tightly in my stroller and my mother schama braised my sister maya and me to believe that it was up to us and every generation of americans to keep on marching. She tell us dont sit around and complain about things do something so i did something i devoted my life to making real the words carved in the United StatesSupreme Court equal justice under law. And 30 years ago i stood before a judge for the 1st time breathe deep and uttered the phrase that would. That would truly guide my career and the rest of my career Camila Harris for the people. The people thats why i represented his District Attorney fighting on behalf of victims who needed help the people thats who i fought for as californias attorney general when i took on Transnational Criminal Organizations who trafficking guns and drugs and human beings and its the people who i have fought for as a United States senator where ive worked every day to hold Trump Officials accountable to the American People. And the people are who gel and i will fight for every day in the white house and let me tell you as somebody who has presented my fair share of arguments in court the case against donald trump and mike pence is open and shut just look where theyve gotten us more than 16000000 out of work millions of kids who cannot go back to school. A crisis of poverty of homelessness afflicting black brown and Indigenous People the most a crisis of hunger afflicting one in 5 mothers who have children that are hungry. And tragically more than 165000 lines that have been cut short. Many with loved ones who never got the chance to say goodbye. It didnt have to be this way. 6 years ago in fact we had a different Health Crisis it was called ebola and we all remember that pandemic but you know what happened then barack obama and joe biden did they are job only 2 people in the United States died too that is whats called leadership but compare that to the moment we find ourselves in that. When other countries are following the science trump pushed miracle cures he saw on fox news. While other countries were flattening the curve he said the virus would just go away quote like america. So when other countries open back up for business what did we do we had to shut down again. This virus has impacted almost every country but theres a reason it has hit america worse than any other advanced nation its because of trumps failure to take it seriously from the start his refusal to get testing up and running his flip flopping on social distancing and Wearing Masks his delusional belief that he knows better than the experts all of that is reason and the reason that an american dies of covert 19 every 80 seconds its why countless businesses have had to shut their doors for good its why there is complete chaos over when and how to reopen our schools mothers and fathers are confused and uncertain and angry about childcare and the safety of their kids at school whether theyll be in danger if they go or fall behind if they dont. Trump is also the reason millions of americans are now unemployed he inherited the longest economic expansion in history from barack obama and joe biden and then like Everything Else he inherited he ran it straight into the ground. Because of trumps failures of leadership our economy has taken one of the biggest hits out of all the major industrialized nations with an Unemployment Rate that has tripled as of today. This is what happens when we elect the guy who just isnt up for the job our country and in tatters and so does our reputation around the world. But lets be clear this election isnt just about defeating donald trump or mike pence its about building this country back better and thats exactly what joe and i will do well create millions of jobs and fight Climate Change through a Clean Energy Revolution bring back critical supply chains so the future is made in america. Built on the Affordable Care act so everyone has the peace of mind that comes with Health Insurance and finally offer a caregiver is the dignity the respect and the pay they deserve will protect a womans right to make her own decisions about her own body root out systemic racism in our Justice System and pass a new Voting Rights act a john lewis Voting Rights act that will ensure every voice is heard and every voice is counted. The civil rights struggle is nothing new to joe its why he go
