The Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes on tonight’s debate:
“Tonight, I expect Donald Trump will lie and deflect and attempt every desperate trick in the book. But there will be no evading what he confirmed earlier today: he wants the Affordable Care Act struck down. This election is a health care election and Trump can’t escape that fact no matter how hard he tries. Already, we are seeing unprecedented early turnout in Michigan as voters stand up to this president’s attacks on their health care. Michigan Democrats will be working relentlessly over the next 12 days to hold this ineffective president accountable. With the grassroots movement we’ve built in all 83 counties in our state, we are going to elect Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Gary Peters, and Democrats up and down the ticket.”
