Statement from DNC Chair Jaime Harrison on the Presidential Debate Arrow

In response to Vice President Harris unequivocally winning tonight's presidential debate, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison released the following statement:

"Tonight, the nation saw a clear choice before them: a Vice President with a clear plan to invest in the hopes, aspirations, and ambitions of the American people or a twice-impeached convicted felon intent on dragging our country backward. While Vice President Kamala Harris spoke of progress and building a brighter future, Trump's extreme Project 2025 agenda will put his billionaire buddies first and leave working families behind. Vice President Harris' agenda is people-powered: her plans will lower costs, defend reproductive freedoms, and invest in an opportunity economy where everyone has a chance to get ahead. Meanwhile, Trump may claim he only has 'concepts of a plan,' but his Project 2025 agenda will continue to divide us, impose extreme and unpopular policies like banning abortion nationwide, and send our country backward. But folks, we're not going back. This November, we will elect Vice President Harris and Governor Walz and propel our nation forward."
