Statement from Harris-Walz Campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon on Tonight’s Vice Presidential Debate
Tonight, Governor Walz showed exactly why Vice President Harris picked him: he is a leader who cares about the issues that matter most to the American people. In the debate, Americans got to see a real contrast: a straight talker focused on sharing real solutions, and a slick politician who spent the whole night defending Donald Trump’s division and failures. On every single issue – the economy, health care, foreign policy, reproductive freedom, gun violence – Governor Walz won. He spoke passionately about the Vice President’s vision for a new way forward for the country. And in what was the most critical moment of the entire debate, which came in its final exchange, he stood up for our Constitution, while JD Vance admitted he’d put Trump ahead of the country.
“The Governor showed once again that he will be an experienced governing partner on day one for Vice President Harris as they work together to deliver for working families. And he showed that he continues to be a powerful force on the campaign trail, holding JD Vance accountable while sounding the alarm on Trump’s Project 2025 agenda.
“The choice facing the American people in November was on full display tonight: between charting a new way forward, or going backwards. Vice President Harris believes that the American people deserve to see her and Trump on the debate stage one more time. She will be in Atlanta on October 23 – Donald Trump should step up and face the voters.”
