Kamala Harris Supports American Workers, Walz Affirms

As the US campaign continues, Tim Walz delivered a joint address today, reaffirming Vice President Kamala Harris’s commitment to the American worker.

Walz while speaking to auto workers in Detroit, began his speech by calling the venue a “holy ground” for unions.

“I couldn’t be prouder to be on this ticket and couldn’t be prouder to stand with UAW (United Auto Workers),” he says.

Walz touts Harris’s record of standing on the side of the American worker and delivering for union members as well as organized labour.

“This is a bit of preaching to the choir, but the choir needs to sing,” he said. “We know that unions built the middle class. The rest of America has to. You know who doesn’t believe that? Donald Trump.”

“This election is a simple choice – what direction and what’s our country going to look like? …Donald Trump will take it backwards,” he said.

His remarks were met with chants from the crowd of “We’re not going back!”

In a related development, Kamala Harris took to the mic next.

She began by speaking about the similarities between her and her running mate, Tim Walz.

She said despite being “seemingly worlds apart” the same people raised us – “good hard-working people.”

Harris emphasized that the sign of a good leader is not based on “who you beat down but who you raise up”.

She says they are “not falling for these folks trying to divide us”.

She adds that she and Walz and their supporters want fairness – the right to freedom and liberty – and “not the government telling them what to do”.

Harris ends by saying she’s “deeply honoured” for the UAW’s endorsement.

She says there are “89 days to get this done” ahead of the election, adding that “hard work is good work”.
