Vice President Kamala Harris told donors at a fundraiser in Washington, DC, on Saturday that the contrast with former President Donald Trump was “very clear” on the debate stage this week.
“As you all know, this campaign and this election cycle really is about two very different visions for our country. A contrast that was very clear, I think, during the debate on Tuesday night. On Tuesday, I talked about my plans on how we will bring down costs, how we will build our economy, how we protect reproductive freedom and keep our nation safe,” Harris said, according to reporters traveling with the vice president.
“But that is not what we hear from Donald Trump. Instead, it was the same old tired show. He was running from that same tired playbook that we’ve heard for years,” she added.
In the days following the debate, Harris has repeatedly blasted the former president for his performance. She criticized him Saturday for having “no plan for how he would address the needs of the American people” before hitting him on policy issues including his promise to replace the Affordable Care Act without offering a plan to do so.
“So he’s saying that again, that he wants to replace it. And then remember what he said about how he’s going to do it? You guys watched the debate. Concepts of a plan. That’s right. Concepts of a plan. No actual plan,” she said.
Harris reminded donors of the stakes of the election, telling them the “clock is ticking” with only 52 days until Election Day and urging them to volunteer and mobilize their friends to vote.
“In the next 52 days, as you are able, please join our teams in our battleground states and help register folks to vote. … And talk with your neighbors and your friends about the stakes,” she said.
