Kamala Harris is the only qualified candidate in this election. Her tenure as a U.S. Senator and Vice President has equipped her with the necessary skills to effectively serve as the President of the United States.
The stability of our democracy is at stake in this election. Harris is the only democratic choice, compared to her competitor Donald Trump. Trump is the opposite of patriotic, he represents everything this country should be against. His consistent divisive rhetoric and poor moral character have proven that he is not fit to run our country. If Trump is elected, he will tear down the institutions and policies that have been the foundation pillars of the United States. A man, as incompetent as Trump has prove himself to be over and over again, should not decide the future of our democracy.
Harris is the best and most necessary alternative to Trump. She is promoting an inclusive future for America that will elevate the well-being of every American. Harris wants to give American families the ability to afford a comfortable life as we find ourselves in a state of economic instability. Harris aims to expand and strengthen the middle class while continuing to back Biden’s proposal to not raise taxes for families making less than 400,000. Over 50% of America falls into the middle class, therefore she is the obvious choice for the majority of Americans. She will also work towards increasing tax hikes for large corporations while increasing financial support for small businesses.
Possibly one of the most prominent issues coming into this election is the right to accessible abortion. Harris has stated that she will work toward reinstating Roe V. Wade and has urged for Congress to codify laws protecting abortion rights. She believes that it should not be the government’s right to dictate what a woman can and cannot do with their own body. It is a person’s constitutional right to make decisions concerning their own life and well-being.
When it comes to the well-being of all Americans, Harris knows what’s best compared to her republican counterpart. Healthcare is a central part of her agenda for this election. She plans to build on the Inflation Reduction Act she signed with President Biden which made healthcare more affordable for Americans on Medicare. She has stated that she wants to expand these lower costs to all Americans including capping drug costs at $2000 a year. This would be huge for many families who are forced to pay thousands of dollars a year for medication. Trump has been so focused on promoting his insensitive platform, that he has completely avoided nearly any discussion regarding healthcare access for Americans. He has only threatened to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act since the beginning of his political career.
Trump continuously undermines the law and order that his supporters claim they want to protect. Not only does he lack insight into his policies, he also lacks the character that the presidency upholds. If Trump takes over office, he will erase the core values this nation was founded upon. His track record alone demonstrates his inability to lead and unite our nation in its state of extreme division. While we acknowledge Harris is not perfect, she has the experience, capability, and determination to support our country in this time of uncertainty.
Kamala Harris is the clear option.
