Ajay Bhutoria, Deputy National Finance Chair, DNC, Harris Finance Committee issued following statement on the 2024 Presidential Debate:
In tonight’s debate, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a powerful vision for the future, contrasting sharply with Donald Trump's chaotic and divisive rhetoric. Harris, alongside Governor Walz, is championing a New Way Forward that upholds our fundamental freedoms, strengthens our democracy, and ensures everyone has the opportunity to thrive, not just survive.
Kamala Harris's career—from prosecutor to Attorney General, Senator, and now Vice President—demonstrates her unwavering commitment to fighting for all Americans. She has always stood up against powerful interests and promises to unite us around our highest aspirations as President.
Trump's tenure left a legacy of economic hardship, public health crises, and attacks on our democracy. Harris's plan to build an Opportunity Economy is a clear path forward. She is committed to cutting taxes for over 100 million working and middle-class Americans, making housing more affordable, and investing in small businesses and innovation. Her focus will be on reducing costs for families, strengthening Social Security and Medicare, and expanding affordable education and child care.
The debate highlighted the crucial choice we face: a future of progress with Kamala Harris or a return to turmoil with Donald Trump. With over 200 Republican leaders endorsing Harris and Trump’s former team having abandoned him, the decision is clear. Kamala Harris is the leader who will drive America forward with competence and unity.
