WASHINGTON, DC - Donald Trump behaved exactly the way we knew he would in his debate with Kamala Harris.
He was insulting, ignorant, and mean. That's the way he always reacts to women in power. He goes back to being a schoolyard bully.
It's clear that Donald Trump is afraid of Kamala Harris-that's why his treatment of her is so desperate and contemptible. But Kamala Harris rose above the attacks-showing her leadership and articulating policy proposals that can bring us together.
When Donald Trump questions Kamala Harris' identity, calls her names and insults her intelligence, he's giving permission to his followers to target every woman who dares to assert her own power.
The debate was not only a clash of ideas, but a test of who we are as citizens. Do we embrace Donald Trump's dark vision of a nation divided, or follow Vice President Harris' call for a new way forward that includes all of us?
The debate made it clear-women know that this is the most consequential election of our lifetime, and we know that women can save democracy and ensure our freedom.
