Harris' closing remarks
“Tonight, I think you've heard two very different visions for our country. One that focuses on the future, and one that focuses on the past and takes us backwards.
But we will not go back. I believe the American people know that we have far more in common than we have that divides us. We can chart a new path forward. That vision includes having a plan, and understanding the aspirations, dreams, hopes and ambitions of the American people.
That's why I want to think about what we can do to create an economy of opportunity, invest in small businesses and new families, protect our seniors, give hardworking people some respite, and lower the cost of living.
The Post will be covering the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris live.
I believe that together we can maintain America's place in the world and ensure that it receives the respect it deserves, and that includes respecting our military and ensuring that we have the strongest fighting force in the world.
I will be a President who protects our fundamental rights and freedoms, including women's right to make decisions about their own bodies and not have the government dictate what they want to do with them.
To be completely honest, I started my career as a prosecutor, then a District Attorney, then Attorney General, then a United States Senator, and now Vice President.
I have only one client, the public. As a prosecutor, I have never asked a victim or a witness, “Are you a Republican or a Democrat?” The only thing I have ever asked is, “Are you OK?”
And that's exactly the kind of president we need — someone who cares about the people, and doesn't put himself first.
I intend to be a President for all Americans, and I'm focused on how we can rebuild our country over the next decade or two by investing in you, the American people, now.
Trump's final statement
So she started saying I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that, I'm going to do all these great things.
Why wouldn't she do that? She's been there for three and a half years.
They were given three and a half years to repair the border.
They have three and a half years to create jobs and do all the things we talked about, so why won't she do it?
She needs to go out right now and go to that beautiful White House and Capitol and bring people together and do what she wants to do.
But you haven't done it, and you won't do it because you believe something the American people don't believe.
You believe, whether you like it or not, that we don't do fracking, that we don't use fossil fuels, that we're not going to do anything that will make us powerful.
Germany tried it and within a year they were back to building normal power plants… You can't sacrifice your country for bad eyesight.
But I have one simple question: Why didn't she do it?
We are a nation in decline. We are a nation in serious decline.
We are being laughed at all over the world. They laughed.
I know our leaders very well. They come to see me. They call me. We are being laughed at all over the world. They don't understand what has happened to our country.
We are not the leaders, we have no idea what is going on.
There is a war going on in the Middle East, there is a war going on with Russia and Ukraine.
We will be in World War III, and it will be a war like no other before because of nuclear weapons, the power of weapons.
I rebuilt our entire military. She gave a lot of it to the Taliban. She gave it to Afghanistan.
What these people have done to our country, and perhaps the most egregious thing they have done, is allowed millions of people into our country.
Many of them are criminals and are destroying our country. They are the worst president and the worst vice president in the history of our country.”
