Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Greensboro, North Carolina, and delivered an impassioned message to a packed auditorium at Dudley High School, the first Black high school in the state's Guilford County.
The VP has made several visits to North Carolina--where over 1 million new jobs have been created-- several times over the past few months.
Before VP Harris took the stage, NC Governor Roy Cooper spoke to the crowd about the dangers of Project 2025.
"This election is not about what kind of President we want to have. This election is about what kind of country we want to be," Cooper said.
"Now, Donald Trump’s America is where the wealthy get the breaks, and the working families get the shaft. Do we want Donald Trump’s America? Donald Trump’s America is where the end of Roe v. Wade is a ‘great thing’ and politicians police women’s bodies. Donald Trump’s America is where the president is a convicted felon, the chronic liar, and the king of chaos. Do we want Donald Trump’s America?"
Then the Vice President told the crowd in the packed auditorium about the "existential threat" America faces from Donald Trump and his supporters, stressing the importance of turning up to vote.
“We are today 117 days out from the election,” VP Harris said. “This here? This is the one. The most existential, consequential, and important election of our lifetime. Now we always knew that this election will be tough, and these past few days have been a reminder.”
VP Harris went on to talk about President Biden, describing him as a “fighter.”
“We will continue to fight, we will continue to organize and, in November, we will win. In the election, there can be no doubt who fights for you. It’s simple, President Biden and myself fight for the people. Donald Trump fights for himself,” VP Harris said, describing Trump’s attempts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act.
“Access to healthcare should be a right and not just a privilege for those who can afford it.”
