00:05Vice President Harris has been in this fight her entire career.
00:11Through every chapter of her public service,
00:14she has been the antithesis of Donald Trump.
00:18She leads with dignity and compassion.
00:21He capitulates to cruelty and greed.
00:24She stood up to Big Pharma.
00:26He gave them a tax break.

00:33She lowered the cost of health care for millions of families.
00:38He wants to gut Medicare and repeal the ACA.
00:43She prosecuted sex offenders.
00:46He is one.
00:48The stakes of this election are without precedent.
00:52Our democracy is on the line.
00:54Our freedom is on the line.
00:56The unfulfilled promise of our republic is on the line.
01:01And thank goodness, we have a champion in Kamala Harris
01:06who has stood forward.
01:08We are united behind her
01:10because she is the experienced leader we need
01:14at this moment, at this crossroads in our history
01:18to be our champion, to reject extremism
01:22and build a future worthy of all of our children.
01:28Last night, we saw President Biden,
01:30one of the most consequential presidents in American history,
01:34who accomplished so much in the progress that we've discussed,
01:38to say the best way to have the progress go forward
01:42is to pass the torch to another generation.
01:46And that is what he did,
01:48with great eloquence, with great values, with great vision.
01:51And what Kamala Harris is about, and I've known her for decades,
01:55I know her officially, her strength.
01:58Kamala is about strength and determination
02:02in terms of public policy.
02:04We know, most recently, in terms of a woman's right to choose,
02:08but the list is vast, as Whip Clark mentioned.
02:11I know her personally.
02:13She's a person of great faith, of deep faith
02:16and commitment to public service in the most unselfish way.
02:20Make no mistake, this is a politically astute vice president of the United States.
02:25I've seen her in action.
02:27I can talk about it on another occasion at Moor Lane.
02:30But let me just say, she is capable,
02:33officially, personally and politically,
02:36to lead us to victory in November.
02:39Are we ready?
02:41Are we ready?
02:43Now, as you know,
02:46as you know,
02:48we believe that when women succeed,
02:51America succeeds.
