Harris draws contrasts with Trump in Pennsylvania as she continues to seize on post-debate momentum

 Kamala Harris speaks during a campaign event in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on September 13.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday continued to draw contrasts with former President Donald Trump as she seized on post-debate momentum in Pennsylvania. 

“Three days ago, Donald Trump and I had our debate. Oh, you watched it? So, here’s the thing — so, I take it many people here watched it?,” Harris said during a rally in Wilkes-Barre.

“So, you’ll remember, that night I talked about issues that mattered to families across America, like bringing down the cost of living, investing in America’s small businesses, protecting reproductive freedom, and keeping our nation safe and secure. But that is not what we heard from Donald Trump,” she added. 

Harris again slammed his debate performance, calling it a “tired playbook,” while claiming he failed to address the needs of Americans. “Well, folks, it’s time to turn the page. Let’s turn the page… And we are not going back, because America is ready for a new way forward,” she said.

The vice president stressed the importance of small businesses and she repeatedly hit her opponent on his economic agenda, including attacking Trump for suggesting he only has “concepts of a plan” to end the Affordable Care Act, but not laying out how he would replace it.

While touting her economic own plan, Harris also focused part of her message on job opportunities that don’t require 4-year degrees.

Harris’ visited Johnstown and Wilkes-Barre on Friday, both in counties that Trump won in 2016 and 2020.
