Post VP debate, Michigan Dems Chair highlights the stark differences between the potential vice presidents
LANSING — Tonight, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz outlined how the Harris-Walz administration will build a brighter future for Americans, in stark contrast with J.D. Vance who, with Donald Trump, will drag us backward. Following this debate, Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Lavora Barnes released the following statement:
“J.D. Vance and Donald Trump clearly have nothing to offer Michiganders besides empty promises and an out-of-touch Project 2025 agenda that will cost Americans in our bank accounts and destroy our freedoms. On the other hand, Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz are fighting to make Michiganders’ lives better — making our economy stronger, defending our reproductive freedoms, and ensuring that everyone has affordable health care.
“Governor Walz was a middle-class kid from Nebraska who became a teacher and a coach before running for elected office — his entire life has been about helping others while J.D. Vance has spent his life serving himself. Michiganders saw two different visions for our country tonight, and Michiganders will reject Trump and Vance’s MAGA agenda and choose Harris and Walz’s vision for joy and prosperity this November.”
