C1 i m not the candidate of black america, although i am black and proud. I got into this race for one reason and one reason only. To fight. Black women are phenomenal. They re dynamic, intelligent and consistent at the ballot box. But that consistency has at times been taken for granted. There s no one type of black woman. Black women exist everywhere. Black women live in city, they live in rural areas, black women shine in hollywood. Manage seats in corporate america and occupy some of the highest offices in american government.

And now, possibly the first black woman to be elected to the highest office in the land. We are not going back. Black women are not a monolith and their views are varied. And with an existential election on the horizon we are looking to black women to see what they re thinking and what if anything cand

Well, theres only one reason were having these discussions, and that is because putin has illegally invaded ukraine. And the quickest way to resolve this obviously lies through, you know, what putin actually does, because its for him to end this. But we are having the discussion. Weve stood with ukraine. Ukraine has a right to self defence. And weve stood united, not just with our allies here in the us, but across with our nato allies. Thats very, very important to us. These are the long range Anglo French missiles. Ukraine would love to fire into russia, the uk making the argument to allies. Its a request that should be granted. They rely on american Satellite Systems to work. You might ask why the Prime Minister has been so keen to dash here, to visit a president who we know will be gone in just a few months time. His answer is there are urgent i
