Kamala Harris LIVE I Kamala Campaign Rally In North Carolina I Donald Trump I US Election

when I was pregnant with my daughters everything was great until one day it wasn't I faced dire consequences and complications of my pregnancy when I developed preeclampsia and health syndrome I needed an emergency C-section to save all three of our Lives I cannot express the terror of having to make that decision and the fear of what it might mean for our family but my family was saved by grace and we live each day feeling [Music] [Applause] grateful but the health of so many people is being put at risk now because Donald Trump thinks he knows better than women thinks he knows better than women and doctors so he's in dangering access to Essential Medical Care as she made clear on the debate stage on Tuesday night [Applause] vice president Harris does not just support women but she is fighting for [Applause] us meanwhile Donald Trump and his allies in hold your boo for a sec including Mark Robinson here in North Carolina aim to threaten our access to reproductive care and they're putting all our lives in danger we are not going back [Applause] we're not going back we're not going back we're not going back we're not going [Applause] back while my daughters were in the hospital for 98 and 110 days we racked up almost $1 million in medical claims before the Affordable Care Act they would have reached a lifetime coverage C that made them uninsurable before their first birthday because of the ACA they could get the care they needed without us going [Applause] bankrupt my husband and I have never had to worry about being denied Healthcare due to their pre-existing conditions that they were born with or due to hitting a lifetime coverage cap I am so grateful to the vice president and the president who have fought so hard to store up the Affordable Care Act while folks like Donald Trump while folks like Donald Trump have a concept of a plan n years [Applause] later nowadays my girls are 10 years old they'll be 11 later this [Applause] month they are happy fifth graders who are thriving at home in school and with the care that they need and they will need health care for the rest of their lives because of the issues they face at Birth as a mom as a North Carolinian and as a voter I want a president who is fighting for [Applause] us I Want a President Who will lower our costs and protect our care I want a president who trusts women and protects our freedom to make decisions for our own bodies I believe in president Harris's vision for a new way forward and that's what I want for my girls and for all of our [Applause] children we saw we saw the difference in these candidates clearly on the debate States Trump's extreme project 2025 would roll back rights and freedoms ban abortion Nationwide hurt the middle class and cost families like ours $44,000 in tax pipes his divisive and hateful language is the opposite of what I want for my girls to hear in our nation's leader yet vice president kamla Harris and Governor Tim Wolf are the right choice for North Carolina because they fight for families like ours and now it's on all of us to do our part continue to speak out to organize your community to check and then recheck your voter [Applause] registration and bring your friends with you when you cast the ballots for Harris wals in November and now it is my joy it is my honor to Welcome to the Queen City of Charlotte the next president of the United [Applause] States I great let in H I'm keep cu the Wi on themselves I'm all right okay okay [Music] [Applause] are we going to do this North Carolina it is so wonderful to be back in Starlet I want to thank you all can we give it up for Stacy for telling her [Applause] and can we please thank that incredible Anthony Hamilton for his incredible performance I love Anthony Hamilton um and it is so good I love you back I love you back thank you and we have so many outstanding leaders here today including my friend governor govern Roy Cooper and your next and your next Governor attorney general Josh Stein and here with us is your next Attorney General Congressman Jeff Jackson Mayor ly my dear friend the Council of State candidates and all the leaders who are with us today I thank you all everyone everyone here for taking the time and doing the work you are doing thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you all right so here's the thing okay we got a lot of work to do we got a lot of work to do okay so North Carolina you probably know please have a seat if you have a chair two nights ago Donald Trump and I had our first debate and I believe we owe it to the voters to have another [Applause] debate because this election and what is at stake could not be more important on Tuesday night I talked about issues that I know matter to fam Across America like bringing down the cost of living investing in America's small businesses protecting reproductive freedom and keeping and keeping our nation safe and secure but that's not what we heard from Donald Trump instead it was the same old show that same tired play we've heard for year with no plans that page turn that page [Applause] because to your point to your point America is ready for a new way forward we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about what we can do together that is why Democrats Republicans and independents are supporting our campaign [Applause] over 200 people who worked for President George HW Bush President George W bush John McCain and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for president former Vice President Dick Cheney and congresswoman Liz Cheney are supporting me as well because as they said we have a duty as Citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our Constitution and that is my pledge to you I will always put country above party and I will be a president for all Americans and while Donald Trump is trying to pull our nation backward we are fighting for the future a future with affordable child care paid leave and Affordable Health Care a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy so every American has an opportunity to own a home to build wealth to start a business and you know I I talked about it the other night I love our small businesses I really do I love our small businesses my and and there many of whom are here and and the thing about our small business is is is they are you know my so first of all my mother worked very hard and and there was a a lady who helped raise us who was a second mother to us um Miss Shelton and she was a small business owner and I grew up then understanding who are small business owners are they they're they're the they're leaders in the community they're Civic leaders they hire locally they Mentor they're part of the fabric of the community and and I know they are the backbone of America's economy [Applause] so my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small [Applause] businesses cuz you know not everybody started out with 40 $400 million on a silver platter and then file for bankruptcy six sign but a whole lot of people have the Ingenuity the entrepreneurship the work ethic and the ambition to do that kind of work and just need to be seen and supported for what they are and what they do for all of us an opportunity economy we need to build more housing in America and so we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build three million new homes by the end of my first [Applause] term I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America's families on everything from Health Care to groceries under my plan more than 100 million Americans will get a tax break and thousands of dollars of your hard-earned money will go back into your pockets including $66,000 during the first year of a child's life and I will always put middle class and Working Families First I grew up a middle class kid I was raised by a hardworking mother who saved up and by the time I was a teenager she was able to afford to buy our first home I'm I understand how people work hard and have dreams and aspirations for their children and need to be put first understanding again when the middle class is strong America is strong America is strong but Donald Trump well he has a different plan just gole just Google project 2025 it is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do if he is elected president Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars even as they pull in record profits he will add more than5 trillion to the national debt he intends to cut Social Security and Medicare and he wants to impose what is in effect a national sales tax I call it a trump sales tax because it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities which the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year and and the top economists they've previewed our plans they've reviewed them Goldman Sachs says my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink it 16 16 Nobel prizewinning Economist say he would reignite inflation and Moody says he would ignite a recession by the middle of next year you know he talks a big talk but when folks review the numbers highly respected folks that's what you learn about him that's what you learn and North Carolina on top of all of this Donald Trump intends to end the Affordable Care Act and as St he mentioned you heard what he said in the debate he he has no plan to replace it he said he said concepts of a [Music] plan oh you all watch the debate concept no actual plan concept and understand what's at stake on that 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act and he's going to end it based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies have the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions well we are we not going back we're not going [Applause] back we're not going we will move forward we will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for freedom like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do and we know how we got to this issue because Donald Trump handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Ro versus Wade and they did as he intended and now in over 20 States in our nation they have what I call Trump abortion bans including North Carolina and every single state in the South except Virginia think about that every single state in the South except Virginia now one in three women in America lives under a trump abortion ban many with no exceptions even for rape and incest it is immoral it is immoral and I know we all here understand and agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body and what we know is that the the impact of this is you know it's been over two years now since that decision came down the impact of this is so real it's affecting people every day just based on the stories we know and there are so many stories we don't know think about it because of Trump's abortion bans women are being refused care during miscarriages some are only being treated if they develop sepsis and when asked on Tuesday night Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a National Abortion ban you remember that he refused to answer that question refused to answer that question well I'm going tell you when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive Freedom as president of the United States I will proudly proudly sign it into law proudly and across our nation across our nation we are witnessing a fullon assault on other hard fought hard one fundamental freedoms and rights like the freedom to vote the freedom to be safe from gun violence the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride and North Carolina has a the history of the point I'm about to make Generations generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom and now the Baton is in our hands it is in our hands so we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote will finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the freedom to vote at it and we who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence will finally pass an assault weapons ban Universal background check and red flag laws so much so much is at stake in this election so much is at stake in this election and understand this is not 2016 or 2020 for number of reasons including why the stakes are higher because two months ago the United States Supreme Court basically told the former president that he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the White House think about that think about that just imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails right he he who has vowed that if reelected he'll be a dictator on day one that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies and has called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States of America think about that and let us be very clear somebody who suggests we should terminate the constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States never again never again never again and you know one of the points that I mentioned on Tuesday so let the people who served under him at the White House who saw him every day right his National Security advisor his defense secretary his chief of staff and his vice president all have warned all who worked with him every day in the White House sat with him in the Oval Office have warned America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and should never again occupy our nation's highest office [Applause] so North and [Applause] we're so so it comes down to this it comes down to this we are here together because we love our country we love our country and we understand the awesome the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth the privilege and pride of being an American right right that's right right and so I believe it is the highest form then of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America so North Carolina we have 54 days until election day 54 days and just 35 days just 35 days until early voting begins and it's not only the presidency that's on the ballot there are many important races including Josh Stein running for governor whose opponent was handpicked by Donald Trump and wants a ban a total ban on abortion in this state right so these are the stakes in this election up and down the ballot up and down the ballot but we know the power is with the people the power is with the people and your voice is your vote North [Music] Carolina your vote is your voice and we know here's the thing also we are all we've got we are just we are loving our campaign aren't we we are loving this campaign we're having a good time we're having a good time I know that but here's also the thing ours will be a very tight race Until the End okay it's going to be a tight race until the end and we are the underdog understand that we are the underdog there are powerful forces trying to convince people that their vote doesn't matter there are powerful forces here too but I say all that to say we've got some hard work ahead of us but here's the thing I love about everybody here we love hard work hard work is good work hard work is good work hard work is good work and with your help we will win in November we will win we will we will win so North Carolina today I then ask you are you ready to make your voices heard do we believe in Freedom do we believe in Opportunity do we believe in the promise of America and are we ready to fight for it and when we fight we win God bless you and God bless the United States [Music] [Music] try me [Music] I'm I [Applause] [Music] [Applause] can't I'm keep the Winer don't quit on themselves [Music] I'm [Applause] [Music]

[Applause] charlot my name is Stacy Stags I'm a Scarlet resident and the proud mother of twin girls Emma and Sarah I'd like to share our healthc care story when I was pregnant when I was pregnant with my daughters everything was great until one one day it wasn't I faced dire consequences and complications of my pregnancy when I developed preeclampsia and health syndrome I needed an emergency csection to save all three of our Lives I cannot express the terror of having to make that decision and the fear of what it might mean for our family but my family was saved by grace and we live each day feeling [Music] [Applause] grateful but the health of so many people is being put at risk now because Donald Trump thinks he knows better than women thinks he knows better than women and doctors so he's endangering access to Essential Medical Care as she made clear on the debate stage on Tuesday [Music] [Applause] night vice president haris does not just support women but she is fighting for [Applause] us meanwhile Donald Trump and his allies in hold your booth for a sec including Mark Robinson here in North Carolina aim to threaten our access to reproductive care and they're putting all our lives in danger we are not going [Applause] back not going back we're not going back we're not going back we're not going back [Applause] while my daughters were in the hospital for 98 and 110 days we racked up almost $1 million in medical claims before the Affordable Care acts they would have reached a lifetime coverage cap that made them uninsurable before their first birthday because of the ACA they could get the care they needed without us going [Applause] bankrupt my husband and I have never had to worry about being denied Health Care due to their pre-existing conditions that they were born with or due to hitting a lifetime coverage cap I am so grateful to the vice president and the president who have fought so hard to store up the Affordable Care Act while folks like Donald [Music] Trump while folks like Donald Trump have a concept of a plan nine years later [Applause] nowadays my girls are 10 years old they'll be 11 later this [Applause] month they are happy fifth graders who are thriving at home in school and with the care that they need and they will need health care for the rest of their lives because of of the issues they fac at Birth as a mom as a North Carolinian and as a voter I want a president who is fighting for [Applause] us I Want a President Who will lower our costs and protect our care I want a president who trusts women and protects our freedom to make decisions for our own bodies I believe in president Harris's vision for a new way forward and that's what I want for my girls and for all of our children we saw we saw the difference in these candidates clearly on the debate States Trump's extreme project [Music] 2025 would roll that rights and freedoms ban abortion Nationwide hurt the middle class and caused families like ours $4,000 in tax pipes his divisive and hateful language is the opposite of what I want for my girls to hear in our nation's [Applause] leader yes vice president kamla Harris and Governor Tim Wolf are the right choice for North Carolina because they fight for families like ours and now it's on all of us to do our part continue to speak out to organize your community to check and then recheck your voter registration [Applause] and bring your friends with you when you pass the ballot for Harris wels in November and now it is my joy it is my honor to welcome to the Queen City of scarlet the next president of the United States [Applause] I'm I'm me all right okay okay we got [Music] [Applause] are we going to do this North Carolina it is so wonderful to be back in Charlotte I want to thank you all can we give it up for Stacy for telling her incredible story and can we please thank that incredible Anthony Hamilton for his incredible performance I love Anthony Hamilton um and it is so good I love you back I love you back thank you and we have so many outstanding leaders here today including my friend Governor Roy Cooper and your next and your next governor of attorney general Josh Stein and here with us is your next Attorney General Congressman Jeff Jackson Mayor lyes my dear friend the Council of State candidates and all the leaders who are with us today I thank you all everyone everyone here for taking the time and doing the work you are doing thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you all right so here's the thing okay we got a lot of work to do we got a lot of work to do okay so North Carolina you probably know please have a seat if you have a chair two nights ago Donald Trump and I had our first [Applause] debate and I believe we owe it to the vote voters to have another [Applause] debate because this election and what is at stake could not be more important on Tuesday night I talked about issues that I know matter to families Across America like bringing down the cost of living investing in America's small business businesses protecting reproductive freedom and keeping and keeping our nation safe and secure but that's not what we heard from Donald Trump instead it was the same old show that same tired play we've heard for years with no plans turn that [Applause] page because to your point to your point America is ready for a new way forward we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about what we can do together that is why Democrats Republicans and independents are supporting our [Applause] campaign over 200 people who worked for President George HW Bush President George W bush John McCain and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for president former Vice President Dick py and congresswoman Liz chy are supporting me as well because as they said we have a duty as Citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our constitution [Applause] and that is my pledge to you I will always put country above party and I will be a president for all Americans and while Donald Trump is trying to pull our nation backward we are fighting for the future a future with affordable child care paid leave and Affordable Health Care a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy so every American has an opportunity to own a home to build wealth to start a business and you know I I talked about it the other night I love our small businesses I really do I love our small businesses my and and there many of whom are here and and the thing about our small businesses is is they are you know my so first of all my mother worked very hard and and there was a a lady who helped raise us who was a second mother to us um Miss Shelton and she was a small business owner and I grew up then understanding who our small business owners are they they're they're the they're leaders in the community they're Civic leaders they hire locally they Mentor they're part of the fabric of the community and and I know they are the backbone of America's [Applause] economy so my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small businesses cuz you know not everybody started out with 40 $400 million on a silver platter and then file for bankruptcy six signs but a whole lot of people have the Ingenuity the entrepreneurship the work ethic and the ambition to do that kind of work and just need to be seen and supported for what they are and what they do for all of us an opportunity economy we need to build more housing in America and so we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build three million new homes by the end of my first [Applause] term I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America's families on everything from Healthcare to groceries under my plan more than 100 million Americans will get a tax break and thousands of dollars of your hard earned money will go back into your pockets including $6,000 during the first year of a child's life and I will always put middle class and Working Families First I grew up a middle class kid I was raised by a hardworking mother who saved up and by the time I was a teenager she was able to afford to buy our first home I understand how people work hard and have dreams and aspirations for their children and need to be put first understanding again when the middle class is strong America is strong America is strong but Donald Trump well he has a different plan just Google just Google project 2025 it is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do if he is elected president Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars even as they pull in record profits he will add more than5 trillion doll to the national debt he intends to cut Social Security and Medicare and he wants to impose what is in effect a national sales tax I call it a trump sales tax because it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities which the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year and and the top economists they've previewed our plans they've reviewed them Goldman Sachs says my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink it 16 16 Nobel prizewinning economists say he would reignite inflation and Moody says he would ignite a recession by the middle of next year you know he talks a big talk but when folks review the numbers highly respected folks that's what you learn about him that's what you learn and North Carolina on top of all of this Donald Trump intends to end the Affordable Care Act and as Stacy mentioned you heard what he said in the debate he he has no plan to replace it he said he said concepts of a [Music] plan oh you all watch the debate concept concept no actual plan concept and understand what's at stake on that 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act and he's going to end it based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions well we are not going [Applause] back we're not going that no we will will move forward we will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for Freedom like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do and we know how we got to this issue cuz Donald Trump handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of R versus Wade and they did as he intended and now in over 20 States in our nation they have what I call Trump abortion bans including North Carolina and every single state in the South except Virginia think about that every single state in the South except Virginia now one in three women in America lives under a trump abortion ban many with no exceptions even for rape and incest it is immoral it is immoral and I know we all here understand and agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body and what we know is that it the the impact of this is you know it's been over two years now since that decision came to down the impact of this is so real it's affecting people every day just based on the stories we know and there are so many stories we don't know think about it because of Trump's abortion bans women are being refused care during miscarriages some are only being treated if they develop sepsis and when asked on Tuesday night Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a National Abortion ban you remember that he refused to answer that question refuse to answer that question well I'm going tell you when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive Freedom as president of the United States I will proudly proudly sign it into law proudly and across our nation across our nation we are witnessing a fullon assault on other hard fought hard one fundamental freedoms and rights like the freedom to vote the freedom to be safe from gun violence the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly and with R and North Carolina has a history of the point I'm about to make Generations generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom and now the Baton is in our hands it is in our hands so we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote will finally pass the John Lewis voting right act and the freedom to vote at it and we who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence will finally pass an assault weapons B Universal background checks and red flag laws so much so much is at stake in this election so much is at stake in this election and understand this is not 2016 or 2020 for a number of reasons including why the stakes are higher because two months ago the United States Supreme Court basically told the former president that he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the white White House think about that think about that just imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails right he he who has vowed that if reelected he'll be a dictator on day one that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies and has called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States of America think about that and let us be very clear somebody who suggest we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States never again never again never again and you know one of the points that I mentioned on Tuesday so let the people who served under him at the White House who saw him every day right his National Security adviser his defense secretary his chief of staff and his vice president all have warned all who worked with him every day in the White House sat with him in the Oval Office have warned America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and should never again occupy our nation's highest [Applause] office so North and we're not going [Applause] so so it comes down to this it comes down to this we are here together because we love our country we love our country and we understand the awesome the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth the privilege and pride of being an American that's right that's right that's right right and so I believe it is the highest form then of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America so North Carolina we have 54 days until election day 54 days and just 35 days just 35 days until early voting begins and it's not only the presidency that's on the ballot there are many important races including Josh Stein running for governor whose opponent was handpicked by Donald Trump and wants a ban a total ban on abortion in this state right so these are the stakes in this election up and down the ballot up and down the ballot but we know the power is with the people the power is with the people and your voice is your vote North [Music] Carolina your vote is your voice and we know here's the thing also we're all we've got we are just we are loving our campaign aren't we we are loving this campaign we're having a good time we're having a good time I know that but here's also the thing ours will be a very tight race Until the End okay it's going to be a tight race until the end and we are the underdog understand that we are the underdog there are powerful forces trying to convince people that their vote doesn't matter there are powerful forces here too but I say all that to say we've got some hard work ahead of us but here's the thing I love about everybody here we love hard work hard work is good work hard work is good work hard work is good work and with your help we will win in November we will win we will we will win so North Carolina today I then ask you are you ready to make your voices heard do we believe in Freedom do we believe in opportunity do we believe in the promise of America and are we ready to fight for it and when we fight we win a bless you and God bless the United States America [Music] I'm [Music] for [Music] meu [Music] [Applause] I'm Meed [Applause] you I need [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]

[Applause] charlot my name is Stacy Stags I'm a Scarlet resident and the proud mother of twin girl Emma and Sarah I'd like to share our healthc care story when I was pregnant when I was pregnant with my daughters everything was great until one day it wasn't I faced dire consequences and complications of my pregnancy when I developed preeclampsia and health syndrome I needed an emergency C-section to save all three of our Lives I cannot express the terror of having to make that decision and the fear of what it might mean for our family but my family was saved by grace and we live each day feeling grateful [Music] [Applause] but the health of so many people is being put at risk now because Donald Trump thinks he knows better than women thinks he knows better than women and doctors so he's endangering access to Essential Medical Care as she made clear on the debate stage on Tuesday [Applause] night vice president Harris does not just support women but she is fighting for [Applause] us meanwhile Donald Trump and his allies in hold your boo for a sec including Mark Robinson here in North Carolina aim to threaten our access to reproductive care and they're putting all our lives in danger we are not going back [Applause] we're not going back we're not going back we're not going back we're not going [Applause] back while my daughters were in the hospital for 98 and 110 days we racked up almost $1 million in medical claims before the Affordable Care Act they would have reached a lifetime coverage cap that made them uninsurable before their first birthday because of the ACA they could get the care they needed without us going bankrupt [Applause] my husband and I have never had to worry about being denied Health Care due to their pre-existing conditions that they were born with or due to hitting a lifetime coverage cap I am so grateful to the vice president and the president who have fought so hard to store up the Affordable Car Act while folks like Donald Trump [Music] while folks like Donald Trump have a concept of a plan nine years [Applause] later nowadays my girls are 10 years old they'll be 11 later this month they are happy fifth graders who are thriving at home in school and with the care that they need and they will need health care for the rest of their lives because of the issues they fac at Birth as a mom as a North Carolinian and as a voter I want a president who is fighting for us I Want a President Who will lower our costs and protects our care I want a president who trusts women and protects our freedom to make decisions for our own bodies [Applause] I believe in president Harris's vision for a new way forward and that's what I want for my girls and for all of our [Applause] children we saw we saw the difference in these candidates clear clearly on the debate States Trump's extreme project [Music] 2025 would roll back rights and freedoms ban abortion Nationwide hurt the middle class and cause families like ours $4,000 in tax pipes his divisive and hateful langu is the opposite of what I want for my girls to hear in our nation's [Applause] leader yes vice president kamla Harris and Governor Tim Wolf are the right choice for North Carolina because they fight for families like ours and now it's on all of us us to do our part continue to speak out to organize your community to check and then recheck your voter [Applause] registration and bring your friends with you when you cast the ballots for Harris WS in November and now it is my joy it is my honor to Welcome to the Queen City of Charlotte the next president of the United States [Applause] you I I'm keep I'm I'm get all right okay okay we got some [Music] [Applause] work are we going to do this North Carolina [Applause] it is so wonderful to be back in Scarlet I want to thank you all can we give it up for Stacy for telling her incredible story and can we please thank that incredible Anthony Hamilton for his incredible performance I love Anthony Hamilton um and it is so good I love you back I love you Bennett thank you and we have so many outstanding leaders here today including my friend Governor Roy Cooper and your next and your next Governor attorney general Josh Stein and here with us is your next Attorney General Congressman Jeff Jackson mayor lyes my dear friend the Council of State candidates and all the leaders who are with us today I thank you all everyone everyone here for taking the time and doing the work you are doing thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you all right so here's the thing okay we got a lot of work to do we got a lot of work to do okay so North Carolina you probably know please have a seat if you have a chair here two nights ago Donald Trump and I had our first [Applause] debate and I believe we owe it to the voters to have another [Applause] debate because this election and what is at stake could not be more important on Tuesday night I talked about issues that I know matter to families Across America like bringing down the cost of living investing in America's small businesses protecting reproductive freedom and keeping and keeping our nation safe and secure but that's not what we heard from Donald Trump instead it was the same old show that same tired play we've heard for years with no PL turn that page [Applause] because to your point to your point America is ready for a new way forward we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about what we can do together that is why Democrats Republicans and independents are supporting our campaign [Applause] over 200 people who worked for President George HW Bush President George W bush John McCain and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for president former Vice President Dick KY and congresswoman Liz teny are supporting me as well because as they said we have a duty as Citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our Constitution and that is my pledge to you I will always put country above party and I will be a president for all Americans and while Donald Trump is trying to pull our nation backward we are fighting for the future a future with affordable child care paid leave and Affordable Health Care a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy so every American has an opportunity to own a home to build wealth to start a business and you know I I talked about it the other night I love our small businesses I really do I love our small businesses my and and the many of whom are here and and the thing about our small businesses is is they are you know my so first of all my mother worked very hard and and there was a a lady who helped raise us who was a second mother to us um michelon and she was a small business owner and I grew up then understanding who our small business owners are they they're they're the they're leaders in the community they're Civic leaders they hire locally they Mentor they're part of the fabric of the community and and I know they are the backbone of America's economy [Applause] so my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small [Applause] businesses cuz you know not everybody started out with 40 $400 million on a silver platter and then file for bankrupcy six times but a whole lot of people have the engineu the entrepreneurship the work ethic and the ambition to do that kind of work and just need to be seen and supported for what they are and what they do for all of us an opportunity economy we need to build more housing in America and so we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build 3 million new homes by the end of my first [Applause] term I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America's families on everything from healthc care to groceries under my plan more than 100 million Americans will get a tax break and thousands of dollars of your hard-earned money will go back into your pockets including $6,000 during the first year of a child's life and I will always put middle class and Working Families First I grew up a middle class kid I was raised by a hardworking mother who saved up and by the time I was a teenager she was able to afford to buy our first home I understand how people people work hard and have dreams and aspirations for their children and need to be put first understanding again when the middle class is strong America is strong America is strong but Donald Trump well he has a different plan just Google just just Google project 2025 it is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do if he is elected president Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars even as they pull in record profits he will add more than5 trillion doll to the national debt he intends to cut Social Security and Medicare and he wants to impose what is in effect a national sales tax I call it a trump sales tax because it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities which the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year and and the top economists they've previewed our plans they've reviewed them Goldman Sachs says my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink it 16 16 Nobel prizewinning economists say he would reignite inflation and Moody's says he would ignite a recession by the middle of next year you know he talks a big talk but when folks review the numbers highly respected folks that's what you learn about him that's what you learn and North Carolina on top of all of this Donald Trump intends to end the Affordable Care Act and as Stacy mentioned you heard what he said in the debate he he has no plan to replace it he said he said concepts of a [Music] plan are you all watch the debate no actual plan concept and understand what's at stake on that 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act and he's going to end it based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions well we are not going [Applause] we're not going back no we will move forward we will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for freedom like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do and we know how we got to this issue because Donald Trump handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Ro versus Wade and they did as he intended and now now in over 20 States in our nation they have what I call Trump abortion bans including North Carolina and every single state in the South except Virginia think about that every single state in the South except Virginia now one in three women in America lives under a trump abortion ban many with no except ions even for rape and incest it is immoral it is immoral and I know we all here understand and agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body and what we know is that the the the impact of this is you know it's been over two years now since that decision came down the impact of this is so real it's affecting people every day just based on the stories we know and there are so many stories we don't know think about it because of Trump's abortion bans women are being refused care during miscarriages some are only being treated if they develop sepsis and when asked on Tuesday night Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a National Abortion ban you remember that he refused to answer that question refus to answer that question well I'm going to tell you when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive Freedom as president of the United States I will proudly proudly sign it into law proudly and across our nation across our nation we are witnessing a fullon assault on other hardfought hard one fundamental freedoms and rights like the freedom to vote the freedom to be safe from gun violence the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride and North Carolina has a history of the point I'm about to make Generations generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom and now the Baton is in our hands it is in our hands so we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote will finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the freedom to vote at it and we who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence will finally pass an assault weapons ban Universal background check and red flag laws so much so much is at stake in this election so much is at stake in this election and understand this is not 2016 or 2020 for a number of reasons including cluding why the stakes are higher because two months ago the United States Supreme Court basically told the former president that he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the White House think about that think about that just imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails right he he who has vowed that if reelected he'll be a dictator on day one that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies and has called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States of America think about that and let us be very clear somebody who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States never again never again never again and you know one of the points that I mentioned on Tuesday so let the people who served under him at the White House who saw him every day right his National Security advisor his defense secretary his chief of staff and his vice president all have warned all who worked with him every day in the White House sat with him in the Oval Office have warned America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and should never again occupy our nation's highest office [Applause] so North and we're not [Applause] going so so it comes down to this it comes down to this we are here together because we love our country we love our country and we understand the awesome the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth the privilege and pride of being an [Applause] American that's right that's right right and so I believe it is the highest form then of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America so North Carolina we have 54 days until election day 54 days and just 35 days just 35 days until early voting begins and it's not only the presidency that's on the ballot there are many important races including Josh Stein running for governor whose opponent was handpicked by Donald Trump and wants a ban a total ban on abortion in this state right so these are the stakes in this election up and down the ballot up and down the ballot but we know the power is with the people the power is with the people and your voice is your vote North [Music] Carolina your vote is your voice and we know here's the thing also we're all we've got we are just we are loving our campaign aren't we we are loving this campaign we're having a good time we're having a good time I know that but here's also the thing ours will be a very tight race Until the End okay it's going to be a tight race until the end and we are the underdog understand that we are the underdog there are powerful forces trying to convince people that their vote doesn't matter there are powerful forces here too but I say all that to say we've got some hard work ahead of us but here's the thing I love about everybody here we love hard work hard work is good work hard work is good work hard work is good work and with your help we will win in November we will win we will we will win so North Carolina today I then ask you are you ready to make your voices heard do we believe in Freedom do we believe in Opportunity do we believe in the promise of America and are we ready to fight for it and when we fight we win God bless you and God bless the United States allica [Music] [Music] I'm is going away away last [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

and and the many of whom are here and and the thing about our small businesses is is they are you know my so first of all my mother worked very hard and and there was a a lady who helped raise us who was a second mother to us um Melton and she was a small business owner and I grew up then understanding who are small business business owners are they they're they're the they're leaders in the community they're Civic leaders they hire locally they Mentor they're part of the fabric of the community and and I know they are the backbone of America's [Applause] economy so my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small businesses cuz you know not everybody started out with 40 $400 million on a silver platter and then file for bankrupcy six signs but a whole lot of people have the Ingenuity the entrepreneurship the work ethic and the ambition to do that kind of work and just need to be seen and supported for what they are and what they do for all of us an opportunity economy we need to build more housing in America and so we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build three million new homes by the end of my first term I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America's families on everything from Health Care to groceries under my plan more than 100 million Americans will get a tax break and thousands of dollars of your hard-earned money will go back into your pockets including $6,000 during the first year of a child's life and I will always put middle class and Working Families First I grew up a middle class kid I was raised by a hardworking mother who saved up and by the time I was a teenager she was able to afford to buy our first home I understand how people work hard and have dreams and aspirations for their children and need to be put first understanding again when the middle class is strong America is strong America is strong but Donald Trump well he has a different plan just Google just Google project 2025 it is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do if he is elected president Donald Trump will give bill billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars even as they pull in record profits he will add more than5 trillion doll to the national debt he intends to cut Social Security and Medicare and he wants to impose what is in effect a national sales tax I call it a trump sales tax cuz it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities which in the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year and and the top economists they've previewed our plans they've reviewed them Goldman Sachs says my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink it 16 16 Nobel prizewinning Economist say he would reignite inflation and Moody says he would ignite a recession by the middle of next year you know he talks a big talk but when folks review the numbers highly respected folks that's what you learn about him that's what you learn and North Carolina on top of all of this Donald Trump intends to end the Affordable Care Act and as Stacy mentioned you heard what he said in the debate he he has no plan to replace it he said he said concepts of a plan oh you all watch the debate no actual planed contest and understand what's at stake on that 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act and he's going to end it based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions well we are not going back [Applause] not we not going back no we will move forward we will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for Freedom like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do and we know how we got to this issue cuz Donald Trump handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Ro versus Wade and they did as he intended and now in over 20 States in our nation they have what I call Trump abortion bans including North Carolina and every sing single state in the South except Virginia think about that every single state in the South except Virginia now one in three women in America lives under a trump abortion ban many with no exceptions even for rape and incest it is immoral it is immoral and I know we all here understand and agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body and what we know is that the the the impact of this is you know it's been over two years now since that decision came down the impact of this is so real it's affecting people every day just based on the stories we know and there are so many stories we don't know think about it because of Trump's abortion bans women are being refused care during miscarriages some are only being treated if they develop sepsis and when asked on Tuesday night Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a National Abortion ban you remember that he refused to answer that question refused to answer that question well I'm going tell you when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive Freedom as president of the United States I will proudly proudly sign it into law proud l l and across our nation across our nation we are witnessing a fullon assault on other hardfought hard one fundamental freedoms and rights like the freedom to vote the freedom to be safe from gun violence the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride and North Carolina has a history of the point I'm about to make Generations generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom and now the Baton is in our hands it is in our hands so we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote will finally passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the freedom to vote at it and we who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence will finally pass an assault weapons ban Universal background check and red flag laws so much so much is at stake in this election so much is at stake in this election and understand this is not 2016 or 2020 for a number of reasons including why the stakes are higher because two months ago the United States Supreme Court basically told the former president that he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the White House think about that think about that just imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails right he he who has vowed that if reelected he'll be a dictator on day one that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies and has called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States of America think about that and let us be very clear somebody who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States never again never again never again and you know one of the points that I mentioned on Tuesday so let the people who served under him at the White House who saw him every day right his National Security advisor his defense secretary his chief of staff and his vice president all have warned all who worked with him every day in the White House sat with him in the Oval Office have bored America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and should never again occupy our nation's highest [Applause] office so North and we're not going [Applause] so so it comes down to this it comes down to this we are here together because we love our country we love our country and we understand the awesome the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth the privilege and pride of being an American that's right right that's right right and so I believe it is the highest form then of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America so North Carolina we have 54 days until election day 54 days and just 35 days just 35 days until early voting begins and it's not only the presidency that's on the ballot there are many important races including Josh Stein running for governor whose opponent was handpicked by Donald Trump and wants a ban a total ban on abortion in this state right so these are the stakes in this election up and down the ballot up and down the ballot but we know the power is with the people the power is with the people and your voice is your vote North [Music] Carolina your vote is your voice and we know here's the thing also we're all we've got we are just we are loving our campaign aren't we we are loving this campaign we're having a good time we're having a good time I know that but here's also the thing ours will be a very tight race Until the End okay it's going to be a tight race until the

to say we've got some hard work ahead of us but here's the thing I love about everybody here we love hard work hard work work is good work hard work is good work hard work is good work and with your help we will win in November we will win we will we will win so North Carolina today I then ask you are you ready to make your voices heard do we believe in Freedom do do we believe in Opportunity do

here's the thing okay we got a lot of work to do we got a lot of work to do okay so North Carolina you probably don't please have a seat if you have a chair two nights ago Donald Trump and I had our first [Applause] debate and I believe we owe it to the voters to have another [Applause] debate because this election and what is at stake could not be more important on Tuesday night I talked about issues that I know matter to families Across America like bringing down the cost of living investing in America's small businesses protecting reproductive freedom and keeping and keeping our nation safe and secure but that's not what we heard from Donald Trump instead it was the same old show that same tired play we've heard for years with no plans turn that [Applause] page because to your point to your point America is ready for a new way forward we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about what we can do together that is why Democrats Republicans and independents are supporting our [Applause] campaign over 200 people who worked for President George HW Bush President George W bush John McCain and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for president former Vice President Dick kany and congresswoman Liz Cheney are supporting me as well because as they said we have a duty as Citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our constitution [Applause] and that is my pledge to you I will always put country above party and I will be a president for all Americans and while Donald Trump is trying to pull our nation backward we are fighting for the future a future with affordable child care paid leave and Affordable Health Care a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy so every American has an opportunity to own a home to build wealth to start

everyone everyone here for taking the time and doing the work you are doing thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you all right so here's the thing okay we got a lot of work to do we got a lot of work to do okay so North Carolina you probably don't please have a seat if you have a chair two nights ago Donald Trump and I had our first [Applause] debate and I believe we owe it to the vter to have another [Applause] debate because this election and what is at stake could not be more important on Tuesday night I talked about issues that I know matter to families Across America like bringing down the cost of living investing in America's small business businesses protecting reproductive freedom and keeping and keeping our nation safe and secure but that's not what we heard from Donald Trump instead it was the same old show that same tired play we've heard for years with no plans turn that [Applause] page because to your point to your point America is ready for a new way forward we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about what we can do together that is why Democrats Republicans and independents are supporting our [Applause] campaign over 200 people who worked for President George HW Bush President George W bush John McCain and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for president former Vice President Dick py and congresswoman Liz chy are supporting me as well because as they said we have a duty as Citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our constitution [Applause] and that is my pledge to you I will always put country above party and I will be a president for all Americans and while Donald Trump is trying to pull our nation backward we are fighting for the future a future with affordable child care paid leave and Affordable Health Care a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy so every American has an opportunity to own a home to build wealth to start a business and you know I I talked about it the other night uh I love our small businesses I really do I love our small businesses my and and many of whom are here and and the thing about our small businesses is is they are you know my so first of all my mother worked very hard and and there was a a lady who helped raise us who was the second mother to us um Miss Shelton and she was a small business owner and I grew up then understanding who our small business owners are they they're they're the they're leaders in the community they're Civic leaders they hire locally they Mentor they're part of the fabric of the community and and I know they are the backbone of America's [Applause] economy so my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small businesses cuz you know not everybody started out with 40 $400 million on a silver platter and then file for bankruptcy 6 signs but a whole lot of people have the Ingenuity the entrepreneurship the work ethic and the ambition to do that kind of work and just need to be seen and supported for what they are and what they do for all of us an opportunity economy we need to build more housing in America and so we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build three million new homes by the end of my first [Applause] term I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America's families on everything from Healthcare to groceries under my plan more than 100 million Americans will get a tax break and thousands of dollars of your hard earned money will go back into your pockets including $6,000 during the first year of a child's life and I will always put middle class and Working Families First I grew up a middle class kid I was raised by a hardworking mother who saved up and by the time I was a teenager she was able to afford to buy our first home I understand how people work hard and have dreams and aspirations for their children and need to be put first understanding again when the middle class is strong America is strong America is strong but Donald Trump well he has a different plan just Google just Google project 2025 it is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do if he is elected president Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars even as they pull in record profits he will add more than5 trillion doll to the national debt he intends to cut Social Security and Medicare and he wants to impose what is in effect a national sales tax I call it a trump sales tax because it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities which the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year and and the top Economist they've previewed our plans they've reviewed them Goldman Sachs says my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink it 16 16 Nobel prizewinning economists say he would reignite inflation and Moody says he would ignite a recession by the middle of next year you know he talks a big talk but when folks review the numbers highly respected folks that's what you learn about him that's what you learn and North Carolina on top of all of this Donald Trump intends to end the Affordable Care Act and as Stacy mentioned you heard what he said in the debate he he has no plan to replace it he said he said concepts of a [Music] plan oh you all watch the debate concept concept no actual plan concept and understand what's at stake on that 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act and he's going to end it based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions well we are not going [Applause] back we're not going back no we will move forward we will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for Freedom like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do and we know how we got to this issue cuz Donald Trump handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Row versus Wade and they did as he intended and now in over 20 States in our nation they have what I call Trump abortion bans including North Carolina and every single state in the South except Virginia think about that every single state in the South except Virginia now one in three women in America lives under a trump abortion ban many with no exceptions even for rape and incest it is immoral it is immoral and I know we all here understand and agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body and what we know is that the the the impact of this is you know it's been over two years now since that decision came down now the impact of this is so real it's affecting people every day just based on the stories we know and there are so many stories we don't know think about it because of Trump's abortion bans women are being refused care during miscarriages some are only being treated if they develop sepsis and when asked on Tuesday night Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a National Abortion ban you remember that he refused to answer that question refuse to answer that question well I'm going tell you when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive Freedom as president of the United States I will proudly proudly sign it into law proudly and across our nation across our nation we are witnessing a fullon assault on other hard fought hard one fundamental freedoms and rights like the freedom to vote the freedom to be safe from gun violence the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly and with C and North Carolina has a history of the point I'm about to make Generations generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom and now the Baton is in our hands it is in our hands so we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote will finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the freedom to vote at it and we who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence will finally pass an assault weapons van Universal background check and red flag laws so much so much is at stake in this election so much is at stake in this election and understand this is not 2016 or 2020 for a number of reasons including why the stakes are higher because two months ago the United States Supreme Court basically told the former president that he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the white house think about that think about that just imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails right he he who has vowed that if reelected he'll be a dictator on day one that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies and has called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States of America think about that and let us be very clear somebody who suggest we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States never again never again never again and you know one of the points that I mentioned on Tuesday so let the people who served under him at the White House who saw him every day right his National Security advisor his defense secretary his chief of staff and his vice president all have warned all who worked with him every day in the White House sat with him in the Oval Office have warned America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and should never again occupy our nation's highest [Applause] office so North and we're not going [Applause] so so it comes down to this it comes down to this we are here together because we love our country we love our country and we understand the awesome the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth the privilege and pride of being an American [Applause] right that's right that's right right and so I believe it is the highest form then of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America so North Carolina we have 54 days until election day 54 days and just 35 days just 35 days until early voting begins and it's not only the presidency that's on the ballot there are many important races including Josh Stein running for governor whose opponent was handpicked by Donald Trump and wants a ban a total ban on abortion in this state right so these are the stakes in this election up and down the ballot up and down the ballot but we know the power is with the people the power is with the people and your voice is your vote North [Music] Carolina your vote is your voice and we know here's the thing also we're all we've got we are just we are loving our campaign aren't we we are loving this campaign we're having a good time we're having a good time I know that but here's also the thing ours will be a very tight race Until the End okay it's it's going to be a tight race until the end and we are the underdog understand that we are the underdog there are powerful forces trying to convince people that their vote doesn't matter there are powerful forces here too but I say all that to say we've got some hard work ahead of us but here's the thing I love about everybody here we love hard work hard work is good work hard work is is good work hard work is good work and with your help we will win in November we will win we will we will win so North Carolina

opponent was handpicked by Donald Trump and wants a ban a total ban on abortion in this state right so these are the stakes in this election up and down the ballot up and down the ballot but we know the power is with the people the power is with the people and your voice is your vote North [Music] Carolina your vote is your voice and we know here's the thing also we are all we've got we are just

okay it's going to be a tight race until the end and we are the underdog understand that we are the underdog there are powerful forces trying to convince people that their vote doesn't matter there are powerful forces here too but I say all that to say we've got some hard work ahead of us but here's the thing I love about everybody here we love hard work hard work is good work hard work is good work hard work is good work and with your help we will win in November we will win we will we will win so North Carolina today I then ask you are you ready to make your voices heard do we believe in

the United [Applause] States I'm I'm me all right okay okay we got some work in you are we going to do this North Carolina it is so wonderful to be back in charlet I want to thank you all can we give it up for Stacy for telling her incredible story and can we please thank that incredible Anthony Hamilton for his incredible performance I love Anthony Hamilton and it is so good I love you back I love you back thank you and we have so many outstanding leaders here today including my friend Governor Roy Cooper and your next and your next Governor attorney general Josh St [Applause] and here with us is your next Attorney General Congressman Jeff Jackson Mayor lyes my dear friend the Council of State candidates and all the leaders who are with us today I thank you all everyone everyone here for taking the time and doing the work you are doing thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you all right so here's the thing okay we got a lot of work to do we got a lot of work to do okay so North Carolina you probably know please have a seat if you have a chair two nights ago Donald Trump and I had our first [Applause] debate and I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate [Applause] because this election and what is at stake could not be more important on Tuesday night I talked about issues that I know matter to families Across America like bringing down the cost of living investing in America's small businesses protecting reproductive freedom and keeping and keeping our nation safe and secure but that's not what we heard from Donald Trump instead it was the same old show that same tired play we've heard for years with no PL that page turn that page [Applause] because to your point to your point America is ready for a new way forward we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about about what we can do together that is why Democrats Republicans and independents are supporting our campaign over 200 people who worked for President George HW Bush President George W bush John McCain and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for president former Vice President Dick Cheney and congresswoman Liz Cheney are supporting me as well because as they said we have a duty as Citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our constitution [Applause] and that is my pledge to you I will always put country above party and I will be a president for all Americans and while Donald Trump is trying to pull our nation backward we are fighting for the future a future with affordable child care paid leave and Affordable Health Care a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy so every American has an opportunity to own a home to build wealth to start a business and you know I I talked about it the other night I love our small business I really do I love our small businesses my and and the many of whom are here and and the thing about our small businesses is is they are you know my so first of all my mother worked very hard and and there was a a lady who helped raise us who was a second mother to us um Miss Shelton and she was a small business owner and I grew up then understanding who our small business owners are they they're they're the they're leaders in the Community they're Civic leaders they hire locally they Mentor they're part of the fabric of the community and and I know they are the backbone of America's [Applause] economy so my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small [Applause] businesses cuz you you know not everybody started out with 40 $400 million on a silver platter and then file for bankruptcy six times but a whole lot of people have the Ingenuity the entrepreneurship the work ethic and the ambition to do that kind of work and just need to be seen and supported for what they are and what they do for all of us and opportunity economy we need to build more housing in America and so we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build three million new homes by the end of my first [Applause] term I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America's families on everything from Health Care to groceries under my plan more than 100 million Americans will get a tax break and thousands of dollars of your hard-earned money will go back into your pockets including $6,000 during the first year of a child's life and I will always put middle class and Working Families First I grew up a middle class kid I was raised by a hardworking mother who saved up and by the time I was a teenager she was able to afford to buy our first home I understand how people work hard and have dreams and aspirations for their children and need to be put first understanding again when the middle class is strong America is strong America is strong but Donald Trump well he has a different plan just Google just Google project 2025 it is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do if he is elected president Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars even as they pull in record profits he will add more than5 trillion doll to the national debt he intends to cut Social Security and Medicare and he wants to impose what is in effect a national sales tax I call it a trump sales tax cuz it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities which the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year and and the top economists they' previewed our plans they've reviewed them Goldman Sachs says my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink it 16 16 Nobel prizewinning economists say he would reignite inflation and Moody says he would ignite a recession by the middle of next year you know he talks a big talk but when folks review the numbers highly respected folks that's what you learn about him that's what you learn and North Carol Ina on top of all of this Donald Trump intends to end the Affordable Care Act and as Stacy mentioned you heard what he said in the debate he he has no plan to replace it he said he said concepts of a [Music] plan oh you all watch the debate concept no actual plan concept and understand what's at stake on that 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act and he's going to end it based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions well we are not going back we're not going [Applause] back we're not going back no we will move forward we we will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for Freedom like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do and we know how we got to this issue cuz says Donald Trump handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Row versus Wade and they did as he intended and now in over 20 States in our nation they have what I call Trump abortion bans including North Carolina and every single state in the South except Virginia think about that every single state in the South except Virginia now one in three women in America lives under a trump abortion ban many with no exceptions even for rape and incest it is immoral it is immoral and I know we all here understand and agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body and what we know is that the the impact of this is you know it's been over two years now since that decision came down the impact of this this is so real it's affecting people every day just based on the stories we know and there are so many stories we don't know think about it because of Trump's abortion bans women are being refused care during miscarriages some are only being treated if they develop sepsis and when asked on Tuesday night Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a National Abortion ban you remember that he refused to answer that question refuse to answer that question well I'm going tell you when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive Freedom as president of the United States I will proudly proudly sign it into law proudly and across our nation across our nation we are witnessing a fullon assault on other hardfought hard one fundamental freedoms and rights like the freedom to vote the freedom to be safe from gun violence the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride and North Carolina has a history of the point I'm about to make Generations generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom and now the Baton is in our hands it is in our hands so we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote will finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the freedom to vote at and we who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence will finally pass an assault weapons ban Universal background check and red flag laws so much so much is at stake in this election so much is at stake in this election and understand this is not 2016 or 2020 for a number of reasons including why the stakes are higher because two months ago the United States Supreme Court basically told the former president that he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the White House think about that think about that just imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails right he he who has vowed that if reelected he'll be a dictator on day one that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies and has called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States of America think about that and let us be very clear somebody who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States never again never again never again [Applause] and you know one of the points that I mentioned on Tuesday so let the people who served under him at the White House who saw him every day right his National Security advisor his defense secretary his chief of staff and his vice president all have warned all who worked with him every day in the White House sat with him in the Oval Office have warned America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and should never again occupy our nation's highest [Applause] office so North and we're not [Applause] going so it comes down to this it comes down to this we are here together because we love our country we love our country and we understand the awesome the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth the privilege and pride of being an American [Applause] right that's right right and so I believe it is the highest form then of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America so North Carolina we have 54 days until election day 54 days and just 35 days just 35 days until early voting begins and it's not only the presidency that's on the ballot there are many important races including Josh Stein running for governor whose opponent was handpicked by Donald Trump and wants a ban a total ban on abortion in this state right so these are the stakes in this election up and down the ballot up and down the ballot but we know the power is with the people the power is with the people and your voice is your your vote North [Music] Carolina your vote is your voice and we know here's the thing also we're all we've got we are just we are loving our campaign aren't we we are loving this campaign we're having a good time

Oval Office have warned America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and should never again occupy our nation's highest [Applause] office so [Applause] North so so it comes out it comes down to this we are here together because we love our country we love our country and we understand the awesome the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth the

realize the promise of America so North Carolina we have 54 days until election day 54 days and just 35 days just 35 days until early voting begins and it's not only the presidency that's on the

Governor Roy Cooper and your next and your next Governor attorney general Josh Stein and here with us is your next Attorney General Congressman Jeff Jackson Mayor lyes my dear friend the Council of State candidates and all the leaders who are with us today I thank you all everyone everyone here for taking the time and doing the work you are doing thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you all right so here's the thing okay we got a lot of work to do we got a lot of work to do okay so North Carolina you probably know please have a seat if you have a chair two nights ago Donald Trump and I had our first debate and I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate because this election and what is at stake could not be more important on Tuesday night I talked about issues that I know matter to families Across America like bringing down the cost of living investing in America's small businesses protecting reproductive freedom and and keeping and keeping our nation safe and secure but that's not what we heard from Donald Trump instead it was the same old show that same tired play we've heard for years with no PL that page turn that page [Applause] because to your point to your point America is ready for a new way forward we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about what we can do together that is why Democrats Republicans and independents are supporting our campaign over 200 people who worked for President George HW Bush President George W bush John McCain and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for president former Vice President Dick chy and congresswoman Liz chy are supporting me as well because as they said we have a duty as Citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our constitution [Applause] and that is my pledge to you I will always put country above party and I will be a president for all Americans and while Donald Trump is trying to pull our nation backward we are fighting for the future a future with affordable child care paid leave and Affordable Health Care a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy so every American has an opportunity to own a home to build wealth to start a business and you know I I talked about it the other night I love our small businesses I really do I love our small small businesses my and and the many of whom are here and and the thing about our small businesses is is they are you know my so first of all my mother worked very hard and and there was a a lady who helped raise us who was the second mother to us um Miss Shelton and she was a small business owner and I grew up then understanding who are small business owners are they they're they're the they're leaders in the community they're Civic leaders they hire locally they Mentor they're part of the fabric of the community and and I know they are the backbone of America's [Applause] economy so my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small [Applause] businesses cuz you know not everybody started out with 40 $400 million on a silver platter and then file for bankruptcy six times but a whole lot of people have the Ingenuity the entrepreneurship the work ethic and the ambition to do that kind of work and just need to be seen and supported for what they are and what they do for all of us an opportunity economy we need to build more housing in America and so we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build three million new homes by the end of my first [Applause] term I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America families on everything from Health Care to groceries under my plan more than 100 million Americans will get a tax break and thousands of dollars of your hard-earned money will go back into your pockets including $6,000 during the first year of a child's life and I will always put middleclass and Working Families First I grew up a middle class kid I was raised by a hardworking mother who saved up and by the time I was a teenager she was able to afford to buy our first home I understand how people work hard and have dreams and aspirations for their children and need to be put first understanding again when the middle class is strong America is [Music] strong America is strong but Donald Trump well he has a different plan just Google just Google project 2025 it is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do if he is elected president Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate tax by over a trillion dollars even as they pull in record profits he will add more than five trillion dollars to the national debt he intends to cut Social Security and Medicare and he wants to impose what is in effect a national sales tax I call it a trump sales tax cuz it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities which the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year and and the top economists they've previewed our plans they've reviewed them Goldman Sachs says my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink it six 16 Nobel prizewinning economists say he would reignite inflation and Moody says he would ignite a recession by the middle of next year you know he talks a big talk but when folks review the numbers highly respected folks that's what you learn about him that's what you learn and North Carolina on top of all of this Donald Trump intends to end the Affordable Care Act and as Stacy mentioned you heard what he said in the debate he he has no plan to replace it he said he said concepts of a [Music] plan oh you all watch the debate concept no actual plan concept and understand what's at stake on that 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act and he's going to end it based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions well we are not going back we're not going [Applause] back back no we will move forward we will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for Freedom like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do and we know how we got to this issue cuz Donald Trump handpicked three three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Row versus Wade and they did as he intended and now in over 20 States in our nation they have what I call Trump abortion bans including North Carolina and every single state in the South except Virginia think about that every single state in the south except Virginia now one in three women in America lives under a trump abortion ban many with no exceptions even for rape and incest it is immoral it is immoral and I know we all here understand and agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body and what we know is that the the the impact of this is you know it's been over two years now since that decision came down the impact of this is so real it's affecting people every day just based on the stories we know and there are so many stories we don't know think about it because of Trump's abortion bans women are being refused care during miscarriages some are only being treated if they develop sepsis and when asked on Tuesday night Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a National Abortion ban you remember that he refused to answer that question refused to answer that question well I'm going tell you when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive Freedom as president of the United States I will proudly proudly sign it into law proudly [Applause] and across our nation across our nation we are witnessing a full on assault on other hardfought hard one fundamental freedoms and rights like the freedom to vote the freedom to be safe from gun violence the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride and North Carolina has a history of the point I'm about to make Generations generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom and now the Baton is in our hands it is in our hands so we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote will finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the freedom to vote at it and we who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence will finally pass an assault weapons ban Universal background check and red flag laws so much so much is at stake in this election so much is at stake in this election and understand this is not 2016 or 2020 for a number of reasons including why the stakes are higher because two months ago the United States Supreme Court basically told the former president that he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the White House think about that think about that just imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails right he he who has vowed that if reelected he'll be a dictator on day one that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies and has called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States of America think about that and let us be very clear somebody who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States never again never again never again and you know one of the points that I mentioned on Tuesday so let the people who served under him at the White House who saw him every day right his National Security advisor his defense secretary his chief of staff and his vice president all have warned all who worked with him every day in the White House sat with him in the Oval Office have warned America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and should never again occupy our nation's highest [Applause] office so [Applause] North so so it comes out to this comes down to this we are here together because we love our country we love our country and we understand the awesome the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth the privilege and pride of being an American that's right that's right right right that's right right and so I believe it is the highest

us be very clear somebody who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States never again never again never again and you know one of the points that I mentioned on Tuesday so let the people who served under him at the White House who saw him every day right his National Security advisor his defense secretary his chief of staff and his vice president all have warned all who worked with him every day in the White House sat with him in the Oval Office have warned America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and should never again occupy our nation's highest [Applause] office so North and we're [Applause] not so so it comes down to this it comes down to this we are here together because we love our country we love our country and we understand the awesome the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth the privilege and pride of being an American that's right that's right that's right right and so I believe it is the highest form then of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America so North Carolina we have 54 days until election day 54 days and just 35 days just 35 days until early voting begins and it's not only the presidency that's on the ballot there are many important races including Josh Stein running for governor whose opponent was handpicked by Donald Trump and wants a ban a total ban on abortion in this state right so these are the stakes in this election up and down the ballot up and down the ballot but we know the power is with the people the power is with the people and your voice is your vote North Carolina your vote is your voice and we know here's the thing also we are all we've got we are just we are loving our campaign aren't we we are loving this campaign we're having a good time we're having a good time I know that but here's also the thing ours will be a very tight race Until the End okay it's going to be a tight race until the end and we are the underdog understand that we are the underdog there are powerful forces trying to convince people that their vote doesn't matter there are powerful forces here too but I say all that to say we've got some hard work ahead of us but here's the thing I love about everybody here we love hard work hard work is good work hard work is good work hard work is good work and with your help we will win in November we will win we will we will win so North Carolina today I then ask you are you

Charlotte the next president of the United States [Applause] in keep themselves I'm I'm I'm me I'm I'm all right okay okay we got some work you are we going to do this North Carolina it is so wonderful to be back in Charlotte I want to thank you all can we give it up for Stacy for telling her incredible story and can we please thank that incredible Anthony Hamilton for his incredible performance I love Anthony Hamilton um and it is so good I love you back I love you Bennett thank you and we have so many outstanding leaders here today including my friend Governor Roy Cooper and your next and your next Governor attorney general Josh Stein and here with us is your next Attorney General Congressman Jeff Jackson Mayor lyes my dear friend the Council of State candidates and all the leaders who are with us today I thank you all everyone everyone here for taking the time and doing the work you are doing thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you all right right so here's the thing okay we got a lot of work to do we got a lot of work to do okay so North Carolina you probably know please have a seat if you have a chair two nights ago Donald Trump and I had our first [Applause] debate and I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate [Applause] because this election and what is at stake could not be more important on Tuesday night I talked about issues that I know matter to families Across America like bringing down the cost of living investing in America small businesses protecting reproductive freedom and keeping and keeping our nation safe and secure but that's not what we heard from Donald Trump instead it was the same old show that same tired play we've heard for years with no plans turn that page [Applause] because to your point to your point America is ready for a new way forward we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about what we can do together that is why I Democrats Republicans and independents are supporting our [Applause] campaign over 200 people who worked for President George H W bush President George W bush John McCain and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for president former Vice President Dick KY and congresswoman Liz chy are supporting me as well because as they said we have a duty as Citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our Constitution and that is my pledge to you I will always put country above party and I will be a president for all Americans and while Donald Trump is trying to pull our nation backward we are fighting for the future a future with affordable child care paid leave and Affordable Health Care a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy so every American has an opportunity to own a home to build wealth to start a [Applause] business and you know I I talked about it the other night uh I love our small businesses I really do I love our small businesses my but but and and there many of whom are here and and the thing about our small businesses is is they are you know my so first of all my mother worked very hard and and there was a a lady who helped raise us who was a second mother to us um Miss Shelton and she was a small business owner and I grew up then understanding who our small business owners are they they're they're the they're leaders in the community they're Civic leaders they hire locally they Mentor they're part of the fabric of the community and and I know they are the backbone of America's [Applause] economy so my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small [Applause] businesses cuz you know not everybody started out with 40 400 million dollars on a silver platter and then file for bankruptcy six times but a whole lot of people have the Ingenuity the entrepreneurship the work ethic and the ambition to do that kind of work and just need to be seen and supported for what they are and what they do for all of [Applause] us an opportunity economy we need to build more housing in America and so we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build three million new homes by the end of my first term I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America's families on everything from healthc care to groceries under my plan more than 100 million Americans will get a tax break and thousands of dollarss of your hard-earned money will go back into your pockets including $6,000 during the first year of a child's life and I will always put middle class and Working Families First I grew up a middle class kid I was raised by a hardworking mother who saved up and by the time I was a teenager she was able to afford to buy our first home I understand how people work hard and have dreams and aspirations for their children and need to be put first understanding again when the middle class is strong America is strong America is strong but Donald Trump well he has a different plan just Google just Google project 2025 it is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do if he is elected president Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion ion doll even as they pull in record profits he will add more than5 trillion doll to the national debt he intends to cut Social Security and Medicare and he wants to impose what is in effect a national sales tax I call it a trump sales tax because it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities which the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year and and the top economists they've previewed our plans they've reviewed them Goldman Sachs says my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink it 16 16 Nobel prizewinning economists say he would reignite inflation and Moody says he would ignite a recession by the middle of next year you know he talks a big talk but when folks review the numbers highly respected folks that's what you learn about him that's what you learn and North Carolina on top of all of this Donald Trump intend to end the Affordable Care Act and as Stacy mentioned you heard what he said in the debate he he has no plan to replace it he said he said concepts of a [Music] plan oh you all watch the debate [Applause] no actual plan concept and understand what's at stake on that 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act and he's going to end it based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies have the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions well we are not going back we're not going [Applause] back we're not going back no we will move forward we will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for Freedom like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do and we know how we got to this issue cuz Donald Trump handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Row versus Wade and they did as he intended and now in over 20 States in our nation they have what I call Trump abortion bans including North Carolina and every single state in the South except Virginia think about that every single state in the South except Virginia now one in three women in America lives under a trump abortion ban many with no exceptions even for rape and incest it is immoral it is immoral and I know we all here understand and agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body and what we know is that the the impact of this is you know it's been over two years now since that decision came down the impact of this is so real it's affecting people every day just based on the stories we know and there are so many stories we don't know think about it because of Trump's abortion bans women are being refused care during miscarriages some are only being treated if they develop sepsis and when asked on Tuesday night Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a National Abortion ban you remember that he refused to answer that question refused to answer that question well I'm going tell you when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive Freedom as president of the United States I will proudly proudly sign it into law proudly and across our nation across our nation we are witnessing a fullon assault on other hard fought hard one fundamental freedoms and rights like the freedom to vote the freedom to be safe from gun violence the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride and North Carolina has a history of the point I'm about to make Generations generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom and now the Baton is in our hands it is in our hands so we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote will finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the freedom to vote at it and we who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence will finally pass an assault weapons ban Universal background check and red flag law so much so much is at stake in this election so so much is at stake in this election and understand this is not 2016 or 2020 for a number of reasons including why the stakes are higher because two months ago the United States Supreme Court basically told the former president that he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the White House think about that think about that just a imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails right he he who has vowed that if reelected he'll be a dictator on day one that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies and has called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States of America think about that and let us be very clear somebody who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States never again never again never again and you know one of the points that I mentioned on

warned all who worked with him every day in the White House sat with him in the Oval Office have warned America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and it should never again occupy our nation's highest [Applause] office so North and we're not going [Applause] back so so it comes down to this it comes down to this we are here together because we love our country we love

and so I believe it is the highest form then of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America so North Carolina we have 54 days until election day 54

that I know matter to families Across America like bringing down the cost of living investing in America's small businesses protecting reproductive freedom and keeping and keeping our nation safe and secure but that's not what we heard from Donald Trump instead it was the same old show that same tired play we've heard for years with no PL turn that page [Applause] because to your point to your point America is ready for a new way forward we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about what we can do together that is why Democrats Republicans and independents are supporting our campaign over 200 people who worked for President George HW Bush President George W bush John McCain and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for president former vice president Dick Cheney and congresswoman Liz Cheney are supporting me as well because as they said we have a duty as Citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our Constitution and that is my I pledge to you I will always put country above party and I will be a president for all Americans and while Donald Trump is trying to pull our nation backward we are fighting for the future a future with affordable child care paid leave in Affordable Health Care a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy so every American has an opportunity to own a home to build wealth to start a business and you know I I talked about it the other night I love our small businesses I really do I love our small businesses my and and the many of whom are here and and the thing about our small businesses is is they are you know my so first of all my mother worked very hard and and there was a a lady who helped raise us who was a second mother to us um M Shelton and she was a small business owner and I grew up then understanding who our small business owners are they they're they're the they're leaders in the community they're Civic leaders they hire locally they mentor they're part of the fabric of the community and and I know they are the backbone of America's [Applause] economy so my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small [Applause] businesses cuz you know not everybody started out with 40 $400 million on a silver platter and then file for bankruptcy six sign but a whole lot of people have the Ingenuity the entrepreneurship the work ethic and the ambition to do that kind of work and just need to be seen and supported for what they are and what they do for all of us an opportunity economy we need to build more housing in America and so we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build three million new homes by the end of my first term I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America's families on everything from Health Care to groceries under my plan more than 100 million Americans will get a tax break and thousands of dollars of your hard-earned money will go back into your pockets including $66,000 during the first year of a child's [Applause] life and I will always put middle class and Working Families First I grew up a middle class kid I was raised by a hardworking mother who said saved up and by the time I was a teenager she was able to afford to buy our first home I understand how people work hard and have dreams and aspirations for their children and need to be put first understanding again when the middle class is strong America is [Music] strong America is strong but Donald Trump well he has a different plan just Google just Google project 2025 it is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do if he is elected president Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars even as they pull in record profits he will add more than5 trillion do to the national debt he intends to cut Social Security and Medicare and he wants to impose what is in effect a national sales tax I call it a trump sales tax because it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities which in the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year and and the top economists they've previewed our plans they've reviewed them Goldman Sachs says my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink it 16 16 Nobel prize-winning Economist say he would reignite inflation and Moody says he would ignite a recession by the middle of next year you know he talks a big talk but when folks review the numbers highly respected folks that's what you learn about him that's what you learn and North Carolina on top of all of this Donald Trump intends to in the Affordable Care Act and as Stacy mentioned you heard what he said in the debate he he has no plan to replace it he said he said concepts of a [Music] plan oh you all watch the debate [Applause] no actual plan contest and understand what's at stake on that 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act and he's going to end it based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions well we are not going back [Applause] not we're not going back no we will move forward we will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for Freedom like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do and we know how we got to this issue CU Donald Trump handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Row versus Wade and they did as he intended and now in over 20 States in our nation they have what I call Trump abortion bans including North Carolina and every single state in the South except Virginia think about that every single state in the South except Virginia now one in three women in America lives under a trump abortion ban many with no exceptions even for rape and incest it is immoral it is immoral and I know we all here understand and agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body and what we know is that the the impact of this is you know it's been over two years now since that decision came down the impact of this is so real it's affec people every day just based on the stories we know and there are so many stories we don't know think about it because of Trump's abortion bans women are being refused care during miscarriages some are only being treated if they develop sepis and when asked on Tuesday night Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a national abortion ban you remember that he refused to answer that question refused to answer that question well I'm going tell you when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive Freedom as president of the United States I will proudly proudly sign it into law proudly and across our nation across our nation we are witnessing a fullon assault on other hardfought hard one fundamental freedoms and rights like the freedom to vote the freedom to be safe from gun violence the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride and North Carolina has a history of the point I'm about to make Generations generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom and
