Excerpt from President Joe Biden’s Introduction of VP Kamala Harris:
If you care about the dignity of work, there’s only one person you have a rational choice with this time, and that’s Kamala Harris. (Cheers of Kamala, Kamala, Kamala in the background, throughout).
I know her. I trust her. Not a joke. I trust her. The first decision I made as nominee in 2020 was selecting her as my vice president. And, by the way, it was the single best decision I made as the president of the United States of America.
I’ve watched her when all the experts, foreign and domestic policy, would give us advice, then we’d sit alone in a room, and she has a backbone like a ramrod. And she has the moral compass of a saint. This woman knows what she’s doing.
Folks, I promise you, if you elect Kamala Harris as president, it will be the best decision you will ever have made.
Including this specifically as VP Harris was asked about the U.S. Steel decision while on the tarmac, later in the week, on her way back to Pittsburgh for debate prep.. Looks like the workers agree with VP Harris and President Biden.
