Harris promises jobs, fight climate change and affordable care act as part of Biden administration

Washington, Aug 13 (PTI) Kamala Harris, presumptive Democratic party's vice-presidential minee, has said once elected Joe Biden ministration will create millions of jobs, fight climate change and build an affordable care act among various or strong initiatives for welfare of Americans.

Hitting hard on three and half years of Trump ministration during her first appearance after being picked as vice presidential minee of Democratic party on Tuesday, Harris, 55, presented a long list of missteps taken by current US government. "As Biden-Harris ministration, we will create millions of jobs and fight climate change through a clean energy revolution, bring back critical supply chains so future is me in America, build on Affordable Care Act so everyone has peace of mind that comes with health insurance, and finally offer caregivers dignity, respect, and pay y deserve," she said.

“We'll protect a woman's right to make her own decisions about her own body, root out systemic racism in our justice system, and pass a new Voting Rights Act, a John Lewis Voting Rights Act, that will ensure every voice is heard and every voice is counted," Harris ded.

During her speech along side Biden, Harris said case of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence is open and she has worked every day to hold officials accountable to American people.

"Let me tell you, as somebody who has presented my fair share of arguments in court, case against Donald Trump and Mike Pence is open and shut,” said Harris.

“And people are who Joe and I will fight for every day in White House," she said.

During speech she mentioned a lot of sectors where current ministration has created a complete mess.

"Just look where y've gotten us. More than 16 million out of work, millions of kids who cant go back to school, a crisis of poverty, of homelessness afflicting black, brown, and indigeus people most, a crisis of hunger afflicting one in five mors, who have children that are hungry, and tragically, more than 165,000 lives that have been cut short, many with loved ones who never got chance to say goodbye," she said.

"It didn't have to be this way. Six years ago, in fact, we h a different health crisis. It was called Ebola. And we all remember that pandemic. But you kw what happened n? Barack Obama and Joe Biden did ir job. Only two people in United States died, two,” Harris said.

That is what's called leership, she told audience.

“But compare that to moment we find ourselves in w. When or countries are following science, Trump pushed miracle cures he saw on Fox News. While or countries were flattening curve, he said virus would just, poof, go away like a miracle,” she alleged.

She said it was due to fault of Trump ministraton that US h to shut down various of its regions again while or countries were opening up.

"So when or countries open back up for business what did we do? We h to shut down again. This virus has impacted almost every country, but re's a reason it has hit America worse than any or vanced nation,” she said.

Harris alleged that it is because of Trump's failure to take it seriously from start.

“His refusal to get testing up and running, his flip-flopping on social distancing and wearing masks, his delusional belief that he kws better than experts. All of that is reason, and reason that an American dies of COVID-19 every 80 seconds,” she said.

“It's why countless businesses have h to shut ir doors for good. It's why re is complete chaos over when and how to reopen our schools. Mors and fars are confused and uncertain and angry about childcare, and safety of ir kids at school, wher y'll be in danger if y go or fall behind if y don't. Trump is also reason millions of Americans are w unemployed. He inherited longest ecomic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden,” she said.

Harris said that this is what happens when one elects a person who just isn't up for job”. "Our country ends up in tatters, and so does our reputation around world. But let's be clear.This election isn't just about defeating Donald Trump or Mike Pence. It's about building this country back better, and that's exactly what Joe and I will do,” she said.

She said Biden-Harris ministration will ensure equality for people of America.

" civil rights struggle is thing new to Joe. It's why he got into public service. It's why he helped reauthorise Voting Rights Act and restore unemployment discrimination--and employment discrimination laws. And today, he takes his place in ongoing story of America's march toward equality and justice as only--as only, as only who has served alongside first black president and has chosen first black woman as his running mate,” Harris said.
