Transcripts For CNN The Whole Story With Anderson Cooper 20240910

Welcome to The Whole Story. Im anderson cooper, after Vice President Kamala Harris became the democratic nominee, she launched an aggressive campaign to reintroduce herself to the country but with the election looming, many remain undecided and are looking at where harris stands on the issues that matter to them before casting their ballots. Over the next hour, cnns Audie Cornish looks at Harriss Record and her promises on five key issues in this election reproductive rights immigration, Foreign Policy, the state of democracy. And one that most american side is theyre top priority. The economy one day after president Joe Biden announced his decision to drop out of the race and endorsed his Vice President , Kamala Harris, addressed a campaign. Staff at the wilmington, Delaware Headquarters Building up the middle class, will be a defining goal of my presidency in her first interview as candidate, she doubled down on that commitment. If you are elected, what would you do on Day One in the White House . First and foremost, one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class and when harris gave her first policy speech, that too was centered on the economy. As president , i will be laserfocused on creating opportunities for the middleclass that advanced their economic security, stability, and dignity. Biden campaign was focused on economic data that showed overall growth. The idea was that voters just werent getting the message. The Harris Version of the campaign took a different tack, emphasizing costs like Health Care. Ill take on the issue of the cost of Health Care housing, provide firsttime Home Buyers with 25,000 to help the down payment on a new home. And in raising a family 6,000 in Tax Relief to families during the first year of a Childs Life republicans hammered her on the costs of her proposals. This is absolute socialism. All of these ideas are very inflationary even the nonpartisan Committee For A Responsible Federal Budget said the plan could ink crease the federal deficit by 1. 7 trillion over a decade. One thing she did not say, this, how any of this would be paid for. These are some expensive policies. But harris is following the lead of progressive lawmakers who blamed companies reaping Post Pandemic profits two republicans, the plan sounds like government overreach. Economic experts are skeptical as well there is not great economic evidence thus far that the bulk of the inflation we have seen or anywhere close to it is caused by corporate profiteering democrats seemed happy to embrace the new language Kamala Harris has articulated a very important plan to make sure that we are lowering costs for everyday americans. You think its smart policy, governor, any effort we make to keep more money in americans pockets is worth walk in the path we think about young folks. And what is top of mind for them . Its the cost of their groceries and their Gas And Child care. When were talking about the middleclass, i think that the Vice President thinks about her own family. I grew up in a middleclass household for most of my childhood we were renters my mother saved for well over a decade to buy a home. How do you describe her political personality, care . It centers around care. She has the skills of a prosecutor. She knows how to analyze the facts put together the case, but her case starts with the care of others, Vice President harris has made a focus of championing what we might call the care agenda, pushing that were part of President Bidens proposals early on our Build Back Agenda which will cut the cost of childcare by more than half extend the Child Tax Credit and expand paid leave. But also things like medical debt relief, student debt relief, helping smaller businesses, minorityowned businesses, get better access to capital. We have secured tens of billions of dollars followers in private Sector Investment for small businesses and communities across america. Things like supporting Phillip Class families and kind of creating the infrastructure of support around them. And a lot of her work also has been designed to help not only families with children, but those who are responsible for the care giving seniors. And people with disabilities. She talks about the sandwich economy. People who take care of their children, and people who take care of their aging parents. Thats always been something of a focus for her when she was Attorney General, her mother was diagnosed with cancer i spent many hours with her at the hospital fortunately, however, i had the type of job then where i could take the time i needed to be with my mother but far too many others cannot harris economic agenda for 2024, it would have a lot of those same Kara Economy components but the Vice President must convince voters she is better equipped on this issue than the business my Dad Trump and so the challenge will be, can she get them to be more confident and how she would be as an economic policy steward, biden administration feels like it has a good economic story to tell and Vice President harris was part of that they did after all, defy economists predictions of a Fullon Recession and by many measures, the u. S. Pandemic recovery was among the strongest in the world. They wanted to tout the economic numbers that they think are good. But that didnt help americans stuck on the numbers that were not so good in 2022, inflation reached a 40 year high, and the current administration has battled to bring it down. There are many economists who lay the blame, at least in part, on the historic and expensive legislation passed by the Bidenharris Administration in the aftermath of the pandemic, when trump left office in place, her weight was oneandahalf percent and then 18 months later after biden and harris spent 5 we add 9 inflation rate. I think there are some economists who argue that it was still a mistake because of the additional contribution it had to inflation. And inflation is definitely a huge vulnerability for her, especially as she tries to run on the biden White House record. One republicans are seizing on Vice President harris was the deciding vote on the american Rescue Plan and also the Inflation Reduction Act that led to inflation going up more than 20. 1 . The economy was certainly bidens biggest weakness. The question will be whether harris receives the same level of blame for inflation. What will be seen from Vice President harris so far is an effort to vote both project optimism about the Economy And Pride in the policies you have done. We were facing one of the worst economic crises in modern history and today, by virtually every measure our economy is the stronger just in the world while also empathizing with voters feeling their pain for high prices still we know that many americans dont yet feel that progress in their daily lives is it very difficult balancing act, but shes been trying to navigate that in the time since her campaign started up next, the Leak Decision of dobbs changed. I think the trajectory of her Vice Presidency. Women in america no longer have a constitutional right to an abortion what we say how dare they this tiny Home Trend not for me.

This is what you need this the path to two Happiness Love at the sauce sorry its a good day at the office for a year the day of the leak dropped about the Dobbs Decision was really an earthquake inside the White House what we have seen tonight is not just a draft. We believe this is a roadmap for how they will take row down the Leak Decision of dobbs changed. I think the trajectory of her Vice Presidency in May Of 2022 political published a Leaked Draft Of A Supreme Court opinion, not just any opinion it was dobbs Versus Jackson Womens Health Organization thaw. The actual words come down we were all outraged, Vice President harris was outraged. The Vice President was due to speak that night at Emilys List one of the big political groups in the country that focuses on women and reproductive rights as the Vice President began talking through what her concerns were at some point, she started to go into a riff and that Roof Lead to how dare they do this, how dare they come from womens rights . How dare they . Change this law . That was republican leaders who are trying to weaponize the use of the law against women what we say, how dare they. She gets up on that stage. And she absolutely just blows the house down how dare they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body and it felt like a shift in the room. This incredibly focused person is in credibly focused politician who used fighting these restrictions on abortion as her North Store its interesting to me that she would embrace this, not for just the obvious reasons of being a woman politician, et cetera. But its right at the moment when in some states, abortion would be criminalized specifically, right . Now, it makes sense that the prosecutor wants to jump in the rolling back of roe was an abject attack on people, women who actually needed to get report Reductive Care and so on. Her comments about how dare they the rejection of this sentiment that other people, min can make decisions about what rights women have about their own bodies. And so when those rights were stripped away, of course the prosecutor in her showed up. Thats the place where her legal minds really kicked in. As you saw how the implication of this decision would go into so many other areas of americans lives that maybe most people didnt anticipate. A majority of five justices overturned the Landmark Roe versus wade Decision Month later, the conservative majority on the supreme court officially overturned nearly 50 years of federally protected access to abortion. The historic nature of todays five to four decision by the courts, conservatives cannot be emphasized enough. She immediately got On The Road after dobbs meeting with lawmakers first meeting with providers, she met with faith leaders. She talked to college President S. She talked a Student Government leaders. She was the hub for all these different groups that were thinking about these questions, this statement has been made that the government has a right to come in your home until you as a woman and as a family, what you should do with your body Vice President harris was betting the issue would grab the attention of voters. Others werent so sure she sees the Last Supper panels of Cable News Pundit saying its the Economy Poll after poll says that the economy will motivate a red wave, red wave, or Red Sunak in the midterm elections and what she says is, i am talking to people every day about this, and i know that Abortion Rights are top of mind for them. And you really saw her the first time in her Vice Presidency, meaningfully trust her own instincts, and its not a surprise that everywhere that reproductive freedom was on the ballot, we won the abortion Rights Side has won every single time because people across the political spectrum codify roe, people across geographies, fundamental right people across faith, without having the religious beliefs of Others Floor Step on her and generations were outraged the Vice President traveled the country on what she called a fight for reproductive Freedoms Tour Harris is believed to be the first sitting Vice President or president to visit an Abortion Clinic is sending a clinic Thats Something politically that was seen as like a fascinating moment. Yeah and she also took the message into those suburban areas that we typically dont go into with her on that tour. Her future running mate, minnesota governor tim walz, was really impressed her by being by her side in that moment and so i think it is a doubling down on the understanding that this campaign is in so many ways about reports productive rights we trust women to know what is in their best interests and not have their Abortion Rights are quite literally on the ballot. And so for a lot of people that is going to be just as motivating for a reason to come to the polls as anything else. Recent polling says two thirds of americans oppose the supreme Courts Decision on abortion if elected, Vice President harris is promising to secure federal Abortion Protection and when congress passes that bill to restore reproductive freedom, as President Of The United States, i will proudly sign it into law. But its, not when congress passes the bill. Its if, even if democrats won both the house and the senate again they need 60 votes. Shoot across whatever thresholds are required, right, to escape a filibuster what are more realistic expectations for what a Harris Presidency would do on Abortion Rights i think the realistic expectations have to be the restoration of the rights of roe. It is realistic for women to expect that they can make their own Healthcare Decisions i believe that if Kamala Harris wins, we will likely have the votes in the senate to change the rules in order to codify roe versus wade. And i think the vast majority of americans will demand, will demand that the senate change the rules its not underneath thousand coming up. Is this an issue she can run from . I dont think its an issue. She can run from immigration is the most difficult issue for her Kamala Harris, Donald Trump the debate.

Kamala Harris Campaigning in 2019 in her first run for the White House immigration was unavoidable when you become president would you be committing to close the Immigration Detention Centers absolutely. On Day One and remains so as Joe Bidens running mate, and we were when joe and i are electric get rid of any policy that is about separating children from their parents Joe Biden kicked off his presidency with a series of Executive Orders that addressed Trump Era policies, including halting Border Wall Construction and preserving the program, shielding from deportation undocumented immigrants who arrived as children but soon after the administration was grappling with a surge of unaccompanied been minors at the u. S. Mexico border only months after President Biden took office and many of those miners were from honduras, el salvador, guatemala and there was some evidence that reversing these trump policies helped create the Border Surge Biden decided Vice President harris could lead a diplomatic approach. Her assignment reach out to central american countries directly. She was in a meeting with several highranking officials, including Joe Biden himself and xi very cogently, it was Outlining Ideas she had for alleviating some of these root causes. And Joe Biden hears her and says well, why dont you take that on . That sounds great. Theres no better trying to organize well, thank you, mr. President, and for having the confidence in me and theres no question that this is a challenge i think Situation Border issues were a key feature of harriss political upbringing in california. Weve heard her talk about what she was Attorney General, and she would go down to the border into the some of the tunnels that existed where people were smuggling goods, how she prosecuted people who are Gun Runners and Human Traffickers in 2016, a newly elected Senator Harris said it would be a priority when you say immigration reform, right and legalization for people were here but the most successful Vice President ial assignments are discrete achievable projects with clear markers of success and u. S. Immigration policy has long been a story of incremental steps. And one source i spoke with said ultimately the bottom line was that instead of looking at at it just holistically as developing an entire region it was wiser and ways to be very targeted and to use the private sector and get their investments and commitments to the region to try to create jobs, bolster the economy, then later focus on governance of countries to again, build opportunity for people in the region so that they didnt feel like they needed to come to the u. S. Mexico border to achieve stability. So she went out and built a public private partnership. She convinced 50 companies to spend 5 Billion in economic development in central america over One Million people have been brought into the formal financial economy, including 65,000 people who now have Bank Account because of our work and for more million people are now connected to the internet her first official trip abroad as Vice President guatemala in june of 2021. She talked about the role of women and economic development. There. But harris also delivered a stark message. I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that danger tourists track to the united states, mexico border. Do not come do not come the united states will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border do not come do not come. What was her reaction to how that was received . It wasnt real receive coming from the daughter of immigrants and a black woman. So that was a moment in which i think we realized that okay. We have to talk about these things differently, although its the Company Line we Cant Toe that line in the same way that Joe Biden can nor could that message compete with desperate images on the nightly news of Migrant Caravan marches . Send families camped out on the u. S. Mexico border as Vice President Harris Sat down for an interview on Nbc News with Lester Holt to assure the country the administration was taking action, we put a button. Okay. Do you have any plans . To visit the border im here in Guatemala Today at some point you know, we are going to the border. Weve been to the border. So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border. Weve been to the Border Weve been to the border. You havent been to the border and i havent been to europe and i thought i dont understand the point that youre making. Im not i think it was a bad interview it was clear with a very bad interview. She didnt achieve what you wanted to achieve at the time. Like when you were watching it, did you think oh, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, absolutely she made some mistakes, won and claiming that she had been to the border when she had not at that stage, and they played into a lot of republican arguments that were saying that normally were democrats not acknowledging the crisis, they were unwilling to do anything about it weeks later with pressure mounting harris made her first. And to this day only visit to the southern border as Vice President the president are absolutely committed to it. But sharing that are Immigration System is orderly and humane. By now the data showed what border states already knew the administration faced in unprecedented surge of migrants crossing the border. So as for years with the people we were were seeing at the u. S. Mexico border came from three countries. Ill salvador, honduras, guatemala, suddenly we were seeing them from All Around The World and all across the Western Hemisphere to underscore that crisis, republican governors like Greg Abbott of texas hit on the idea of giving recently arrived migrants a Oneway Bus Ticket to democratic cities and notably to the Vice President s house at the u. S naval observatory in washington dc. I was actually with her husband, Doug Emhoff we were at an event where he was getting his covid booster and out of nowhere they tell us, hey, hes going to talk about the migrant issue yeah, i do have reactions i think it was shameful these are human beings. Theyre using people as pawns for a political stop. It brought an issue that up until this point, had really been on the u. S. Mexico border to cities across the country countries, i think from that moment forward. And of course that coincided with the midterm elections in 2022, really made democrats, i think a lot more conservative on Border Issues and specifically on asylum to that end, President Biden and Vice President harris supported negotiations on a Senate Bill that would, among other things, give the president far reaching powers to restrict migrant crossings. Can you share an anecdote, any kind of story about her involvement in the negotiations . For that bill . In a moment when i was wondering whether my Partys Leadership was going to get my back. If i negotiated a bill that was maybe tougher than what democrats had been willing to agree to before she called me, got me on the phone and said, dont worry, the president and i are gonna have your back. The negotiations were bipartisan. Leading a republican senator to share some optimism through, but i do feel very positive about it because even the initial feedback has been good but ten days later and just for republicans, ultimately voted for it republicans block the bill at the behest of former president Donald Trump. A lot of the senators are trying to say respectfully, theyre blaming going to me, i said thats okay. Please blame it on me. Please under President Biden, there would be no comprehensive solution so what would a president harris do differently . So i think there are a couple of of ways that we can look at her policies on immigration and theyre in line with what President Biden has already done, which just in comparison are far more strict, far more rightleaning thank than anything that she proposed or was in favor of in 2019 as president , i will bring back the Border Security Bill that Donald Trump killed. And i will sign it sources ive talked to allies of her expect that immigration is going to be top of mind for her if she were to win in november we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants and reform. Our broken Immigration System we can create an urgent pathway to citizenship and secure our border next were being Vice President is always an important foreign Policy Job harris, on the World Stage, russia will plead Ignorance And Innocence straight things in Changing Change and wife.

But one thing thats changed over the last four years, his harris has tried to make Foreign Policy a big focus of her tenure as vp. The first year we were very intentional about building out her Foreign Policy portfolio. And it was at her direction. In fact, in the good thing to the President S credit is you wasnt selfish about it. He shared she spent every morning with him and the President Shell Briefing Being Vice President is always an important foreign Policy Job also, being Vice President for Joe Biden. This is a presidency where the White House dominates foreign Policy Decisionmaking so camila being in the White House and being close to an aligned with that process. Actually matters a lot the White House dispatched Vice President harris to more than 20 countries across central america, europe, africa, and asia. She met with more than 100 150 world leaders leaders she was put in front of some of the most pressing global challenges but it didnt get much attention back home between news of the republican primaries, Donald Trumps criminal trials, and the hailstorm of criticism of her handling the southern u. S. Border her Foreign Policy efforts flew under the radar. Lets look at the Munich Security Conference for example i dont get to appreciated by many americans how a central her role was at that conference. Widely seen as a sign of confidence President Biden assigned harris to lead the u. S. Delegation at the influential Munich Security Conference. Three years in a row, was an enormous amount of exposure. Its a big deal and i probably learn more about global geraty with three intense days in munich that i can get almost anywhere else i can go harriss first appearance in munich was in february of 2022. This is a dynamic situation and will require us to be in constant contact. It was just days before president Vladimir Putin launched russias illegal invasion into ukraine. It proved to be one of harriss most consequential meetings abroad. It was the moment when President Zelenskyy of ukraine was still really not taking seriously the idea that eminent of a russian invasion and Kamala Harris goes and sits down with him and presents to him our intelligence in a Oneonone Meeting and says, you need to take this seriously. And shes really the last major american voice that he hears before that invasion happens in terms of his own Preparation And Russia will plead Ignorance And Innocence. It will create false pretext for invasion later when russia escalated, that Land War she expressed unwavering support for ukraines embattled President Zelenskyy. We will be with you for as long as it takes but nearly three years after the conflict began, what would harris do if anything differently to help steer that war to a close . Should she take the reins from biden, american Voters Congress and many u. S. Allies will No Doubt be looking to harris to help turn the page and finally, bring an end to russias war. I think that us Policy Ukraine is going to change i think what would be different is that trump would make those decisions unilaterally he would call putin he would cause zelenskyy, he wouldnt necessarily be taking advice and certainly not coordinating with all of the other allies Kamala Harris would be yeah, ill said and u. S. Leaders as Vice President , Harris Work to Unite Americans indopacific allies to fend off another prominent adversary. China. In 2022, days after her first meeting with president Xi Jinping Harris spoke out against Chinas Aggression in the south China Sea. From a philippine Coast Guard Ship the united states stands with the philippines in the face of intimidation and coercion. And in 2023, she embarked on a Multination Tour of africa a continent where u. S. Foreign policy he has recently seated influence to china and russia. Many believe at its peril ive been abroad with her at least twice. She is respected on the World Stage Evan Gershkovich is now on the ground i think weve all come to understand that exceptional historic Prisoner Exchange Deal would not have happened if not for Kamala Harris this is work the president deserves most of the credit, but some of those very difficult conversations, especially with the german chancellor, were not conducted by President Biden, but by Vice President harris nobody should be questioning whether shes ready to step up and help run the world on Day One, shes been doing it sidebyside with President Biden very effectively for the last four years but without Biden By her side, what would u. S. Foreign policy look like under a Kamala Harris presidency when shes no longer just implementing policy. But is instead creating it in the worst thing we could do is have the next president not reinvent parts of american Foreign Policy. This is why it is important sometimes to have a generational shift in leadership especially when it comes to national security in one area where people proceed with her to have kind of taken a forward position in the administration is in the area of the war that israel is prosecuting In Gaza what has happened In Gaza over the past nine months is devastating. Not that they have a vast policy different, but that she talked about it differently. How do you see where she is now well, it takes us back to the interview with Lester Holt and lesson that came out of that is that you have room in space to carve out your own voice. And you have to, because theres a different expectation from you and that applies to the situation In Gaza theres a different expectation for Kamala Harris and there is for Joe Biden in terms of tone, tenor, and message i mean, the fact that she came out and said, we dont have a buyin and they are every choice here gets back to her e, those which is i can see both people President Biden and i are working to end this war such that israel is secure. The hostages are released, the suffering In Gaza ends and the palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom because a lot of black voters in particular, or young activists of color thought that they saw commonalities of oppression, et cetera, when they looked at that issue so the challenge was, is, how do we address both of these without compromising the other . And i think thats the message he was trying to convey. And i think that is the expectation of black people in general. And definitely of a black Woman Leader Kindell Harris understands that she is the next generation of leadership she is not unwilling to challenge the Foreign Policy consensus if she thinks its wrong and she will have the opportunity to do that and melded together with all of this realworld on the Ground Experience she has i took on perpetrators i have all kinds up next Prosecutor Harris makes the case i know Donald Trumps type coming up next, president Joe Biden will not run for reelection.

Georgia is clear. Donald trumps campaign is about him, not america, not you hes willing to sacrifice our democracy put himself in power Vice President Kamala Harris is continuing that theme. And uses trumps words to make her point. The man has openly vowed, if reelected, that he will be a dictator on Day One biden talks about the world in terms of democracies and autocracies, united states is determined the defendant strengthen democracy thats what theyre good guys and theyre a bad guy, right Kamala Harris used the world much more through the lens of a prosecutor she cares about laws, she cares about norms but when she first ran for the presidency, the former District Attorney and california for new Attorney General shied away from her legal resume when she was running for president in 20 2020, its a moment where prosecuted shooters are not really resonating well with the democratic base. Do you have staffers around her say, weve got to present your background in way that doesnt feel off putting to an electorate that is really disillusioned by Law Enforcement right now a lot of times that translated to advice of dont talk about it at all she wasnt even willing to kind of call herself a prosecutor four years ago, even though we know that thats a huge part of our career, i remember asking at the time why dont you have a criminal Justice Plan that youll lay out . Why arent you more willing to combat the criticisms from progressives, some of which youve been during for a lot of your career now this if this Answer Wasnt Something shes comfortable with, it was just an answer that when it came to the national stage, she wasnt comfortable saying at that time, you had her it push and pulled in a lot of directions. I think that played out really publicly. This time is different i took on perpetrators of all Kinds Predators who abused women fraudsters, who ripped off consumers scammers, who broke the rules for personal gain so hear me when i say i know Donald Trumps type but huge part of this campaign has got to be her saying, im a prosecutor and im running against a felon. What were seeing now is more of a willingness to own the record that shes had throughout her career do you think that she is going to talk about the former president in the context of him being a threat to democracy. It feels like to me shes talking about it and not utilizing the word democracy, but shes starting to talk about it in the context of freedoms hes a threat to our freedoms, not just our democracy in this election many other fundamental freedoms are at stake. I think that this election the matchup between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is still just as much about the future of our democracy but i think when it comes to young people, they want to hear how this is going to affect their real lives. Harris allies say that has always been a priority. While much of her Vice President Ial Portfolio was assigned to her by the President She saw one area as critical and requested to take the lead hed Voting Rights is part of what has driven i think Kamala Harris is both his Vice President and even before that, she was in the senate. The freedom to vote, to chose to be an advocate on Democracy And Voting rights very early i think those are things that truly represent her record. We are forcefully working to pass the for the people act the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and im working to help ensure that all americans know what they get when they vote to further encourage them to vote, knowing that it will make a difference. Prince in their lives. One reason i think Vice President harris sought to take on Voting Rights as an issue is because she wanted a Signature Policy Issue that related specifically to black communities and some of the groups that helped push the biden administration to choose are in the first place. But because of the realities of the senate and the house, it was never very likely to pass despite an aggressive campaign from Vice President harris and President Biden, congress failed to pass the Voting Rights bills. The motion is not agreed to. So rather than being a signature accomplishment, i think the issue functions in the first couple of years as a signature failure. Harris promises as president , Shell Keep pushing when i am president , we are going to finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act camila is committed to Voting Rights and democracy reform. And i think its actually going to be essential that she run on that message. But passing any voting Rights Legislation likely comes down to winning both the house and the senate that those things dont happen, then the possibility of passage of things like Voting Rights completely evaporate. Still as a candidate, harris is making Voting Rights. One of her signature issues. All while Summer Publicans are accusing her of subverting the will of voters, our fellow americans after President Bidens decision to pull out of the race over republicans have tried to frame the coronation of harris or her elevation as antidemocratic. We have somebody that hasnt received one vote for president and shes running. There were even voices within the democratic party that speculated there should have been more competition for the nomination. I think going through some sort of a process would have been very enlightening. We need a fair, open, and democratic process ultimately, i want the convention to decide this. It is my intention to go out and earn this nomination and she did. Harris locked up Party Support for the nomination in a matter of days she was able to turn wouldbe rivals into people who supported her candidacy. I think people were honestly very surprised at how astute in a depth harris his team was in creating not just that natural momentum, but making all of the democratic players come to her side, that it eliminates the idea that it was undemocratic Kamala Harris has evolved from an aggressive prosecutor to a 2020 president ial hopeful that failed to connect with voters to the Vice President and now my entire career, ive only had one client the people Kamala Harris is hoping to convince voters. She is the best person to represent democracy as President Of The United States in this country . Anything is possible
