Kamala Harris: The deal would basically be what Barack Obama got. That he pulled us out of. I think that it's important to not be a conspiracists, but you can listen to what people are saying. And wonder. Is it just a full on distraction from the things he can't handle or has not handled?

Kamala Harris: I know this is going to be controversial coming from me in particular, we need to revisit the electoral college. We need to revisit the point of expanding the court. We need to revisit, if they so want, statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.

Kamala Harris: We have a president taking America into a war the people did not ask for, spending billions of dollars without paying attention to the people right here in America who are losing their health coverage because of policies they are pushing to pay for a tax cut for the rich…

When America is at our best, we look out for one another and know that we have much more in common than what separates us. That idea has been fundamental to the fabric of our nation since our founding.

What has carried our nation forward is not the absence of challenges, but the willingness of ordinary people to meet them with hope, courage, and action. As we celebrate America’s 250th, we must continue to fight for one another, our democracy, and the promise of what we can build together.

Kamala Harris reacts to the overturn of Roe v. Wade, 2022: Millions of women in America will go to bed tonight without access to the healthcare they had this morning. This is the first time that a constitutional right has been taken from the people of America. It's the right to privacy

The celebration of Juneteenth started in Galveston, but its impact is felt far beyond Texas. Generations of Americans refused to accept that freedom belongs just to some. They understood that freedom is something to cherish, and that each generation must continue the fight for justice and equality.

“They told us voting is a privilege, not a right.” That’s what I heard from students at North Carolina A&T who are fighting to protect access to the ballot. These young leaders are organizing, speaking out, and refusing to let anyone take their power — and I am so proud of them.

California, our primary election is on June 2. Make sure your ballot is filled out and submitted on time. To everyone across the country, this is your reminder to stay engaged. Know your election dates, check your registration status, and make sure you are prepared to vote.

VP @kamalaharris.com: If you work a 40 hour week, you should be able to afford your rent, food on the table, and a vacation from time to time. Not scraping to get by, praying you get through the end of the month. It means affordable housing and affordable childcare.

VP @kamalaharris.com: Here in Nevada, it costs $20 more to fill your tank than it did months ago. It costs $1,500 more a year because of tariffs. It is time for us to deal with the crises of the moment, and fight, march, organize, and vote. But we also need a vision, an American revival.

The same day SCOTUS dismantled the Voting Rights Act, I watched Kamala Harris take the stage at the Douglas Awards. She didn’t offer comfort; she offered real talk 🔥 “This is how they play. They are strategic. They think long-term and they are ruthless…we have to be ruthless too.”

Easy to see why the world hates us now. We could’ve had a qualified and intelligent president but folks voted for Donald Trump instead.

'How far and how fast the United States has fallen!' As Trump considers 'reviewing the UK's claim to the Falklands', and suspending Spain from NATO, @mrjamesob.bsky.social reacts.

VP @kamalaharris.com: Trump said he would bring prices down on day one. But instead, inflation is up, cost of groceries is up, gas is up, unemployment is up-- Audience member: Blood pressure's up. VP Harris: Blood pressure is up! I know that's right.

Here in North Carolina and around the country, gas prices are too high. This is a direct result of Donald Trump's war of choice in Iran, and the American people are paying the price.

"Several months ago my 10-year-old daughter had a school project to do a biography. I told her to choose a powerful woman. No other guidance. She chose Kamala Harris. And today, Addie got to meet her and showed it to her." 🥹

Sharpton: Are you going to run again in 2028? Kamala Harris: Listen, I might. I'm thinking about it.

Kamala Harris: it is not just about the individual, it is about the apparatus, if you will -- I would refer to talk about the cronies who are allowing this to happen. Members of Congress. I'm going to use the F word, who are feckless. It is an appropriate F word

.@KamalaHarris: He lied. He told the American people he'd bring down prices and costs on day one. Instead of taking care of the average folks in America, he's been taking care of his rich friends. The cost of gas, food, unemployment, has gone up since he's become president
