00:00I'm Hayden Padgett. I'm the chairman of the Young Republican National Federation and a

00:17proud son of the great state of Texas. More importantly, I'm a husband and a father of

00:35two wonderful children who are under two years old. This election, I'll be fighting to build

00:41a better country for them, my kids. America has always been a place where the promise

00:48of tomorrow is brighter than the trials of today. But for young Americans, that future

00:55is diminishing as quickly as, well, Biden's cognitive ability.

01:01In two years, America will celebrate her 250th birthday. But for Americans celebrating their

01:0825th birthday now, they see a future where their dreams are increasingly out of reach.

01:15The rising cost of education keeps us in debt. The rising price of groceries and fuel keeps

01:21us living one paycheck to the next. The rising cost of child care keeps us from starting

01:26our own families. And the rising cost of rent keeps us from owning our own home.

01:32But we know that life can be better. That our lives can be more than making ends meet.

01:42Because it was better under Donald Trump. Making America great again means making groceries

01:56and gas affordable again. Making education an investment and not a burden again. And

02:03making homeownership possible again.

02:07We just celebrated our Independence Day, where we were reminded that our founders did not

02:12promise us happiness, but the right to pursue it. The Biden-Harris economy has taken that

02:21all away from us. And this election, the young Republicans will be fighting to make

02:27the economy great again. We will help to throw Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their legacies

02:39into the trash heap of history. And we will elect Donald Trump, a man whom grace and grit

02:47have saved for our time. And Senator J.D. Vance, the first young Republican who will

03:00be elected Vice President of these United States in almost 70 years. And together, we

03:11will restore the American dream for young Americans. I owe it to my children, just as

03:18we all owe it to our future, to make America great again.
