STORY: "And now we're going to take this momentum for the next 55 days so I can call my wife the next president of the United States, Kamala Harris!”:: Harris surprised supporters at a watch party following her debate with Donald Trump:: September 10, 2024:: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"I started the debate by talking about it and it became apparent, I think, throughout that hour and a half. Look, this is very much two different visions for our country. Ours, which is a vision for the future. And his speeches about the past and taking us backward. And as I said on the debate stage, “we are not going back”."This is a campaign born out of love of country. We love our country. We believe in who we are. We believe in the American people. This is a campaign about bringing folks together, knowing the vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us. It is about inclusion and it is not about division, and it is not about demeaning and name calling. It is about lifting folks up. Working folks, families, children, people who are just not just trying to get by, but trying to get ahead. That's what we stand for. So let's get out of here for these next 56 days. Hard work is good work, and we will win! We will win!"Harris expressed confidence, calling it a "good day," but reminded the crowd that 56 days remained until the election, emphasizing that "there's still a lot of work to do." Joined by her husband, Douglas Emhoff, Harris thanked attendees for their efforts and stressed the importance of winning Pennsylvania, a key swing state that President Joe Biden carried in 2020.During the debate, Harris put Trump on the defensive with a stream of attacks on abortion limits, his fitness for office and his myriad legal woes, as both candidates sought a campaign-altering moment in their closely fought election.A former prosecutor, Harris, 59, appeared to get under the former president's skin repeatedly, prompting a visibly angry Trump, 78, to deliver a series of falsehood-filled retorts.
