Vice President Harris Remarks at Chicago Rally

Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton and Governor J.B. Pritzker introduced Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally in Chicago. The vice president said over the preceding 20 months, “we as Democrats have proven that when people put Democrats in charge, we know how to deliver results for the people,” citing COVID-19 pandemic relief, the Inflation Reduction Act, canceling student debt, investments to combat climate crisis, and judicial appointments. She also praised Governor Pritzker’s administration, saying, “What you all are doing in Illinois really is providing a model for the rest of the country.” Governor Pritzker, who was facing in the midterm elections a former President Donald Trump-backed candidate, Darren Bailey, said, “No, Donald Trump. No, Darren Bailey, we will not go back. ... MAGA Republicans, you will lose in November.” close
