Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a stark warning at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Phoenix Awards Dinner, cautioning that a second term for former President Donald Trump could pose a significant threat to the nation's vision.
Harris expressed concerns that Trump and his allies are aiming to regress the nation's progress, stating, 'The CBC has always had a vision for the future of our nation, a future where we can see what is possible, unburdened by what has been.'
Highlighting the importance of moving the nation forward towards a brighter future, Harris criticized Trump's policies and his lack of clarity on healthcare plans during a recent debate.
She emphasized the need for accessible healthcare for all Americans, asserting that it should not be a privilege limited to those who can afford it. Harris also outlined her plans for building intergenerational wealth, her economic agenda, and her commitment to fighting for reproductive freedoms.
Addressing the attendees, Harris underscored the significance of the upcoming election, stating, 'The baton is in our hands.' She expressed her belief that America is prepared to move away from divisive politics and hatred, calling on the leadership present to lead the way.
Throughout her speech, Harris reiterated the vision of a nation that upholds principles of freedom, opportunity, and justice for all, not just a select few. She pledged to sign into law any bill that restores reproductive freedoms when she assumes the presidency.
The Vice President's remarks at the event underscored the high stakes of the election and the need for continued progress towards a more inclusive and equitable future for all Americans.
