Let’s go back and see what we inherited from Trump and the MAGA Republicans when we won the election that - when we came to office. ![]() They’re saying it out loud, for everybody to hear. You don’t need to imagine anything this time around. Republicans have already introduced legislation that will ban abortion with no exceptions to rape or incest or the life of the mother, in many places.Īt the same time, Republicans are threatening to take away the constitutional right to marry the person you love. We’re going to protect - Democrats are going to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms like the right to choose, the right to privacy, the right to vote - our very democracy. Republicans have been very clear: They’ve stated boldly that they want to cut Social Security and Medicare and - to the point that they’ll shut down the government, they say, and send the nation into default, which raises prices for everyone, if we do not cut Social Security and Medicare. Look, folks, Democrats are going to protect Social Security and Medicare. Republicans are fiscally reckless, pushing tax cuts for the very wealthy that aren’t paid for, and exploiting the deficit that is making inflation worse. Let’s get that straight now, okay? We’re investing in all of America, reducing everyday costs while also lowering the deficit at the same time. We, the Democrats, are the ones that are fiscally responsible. (Applause.) And Republicans will allow some of the biggest corporations to go back to paying zero - zero - in federal taxes, after having made $40 billion, leaving the burden to teachers, nurses, firefighters, working folks to pay more of their fair share to keep things going. Fifteen percent is not a fair share, but it’s a bigger share. (Applause.) Folks, Republicans have made it clear - at least they’re being honest around this time they’re telling exactly what they want to do if they win - they’re going to increase everyday cost.ĭemocrats are making sure the biggest corporations begin to pay not their fair share, but at least a bigger share than they’ve been paying. It failed their country before and will fail it again if they win.ĭemocrats are lowering your everyday costs like prescription drugs, healthcare premiums, energy bills, and gas prices. Republicans are doubling down on their mega MAGA trickle-down economics that benefits the very wealthy. Everybody wants to make it a referendum, but it’s a choice between two vastly different visions for America - significantly different.ĭemocrats are building a better America for everyone with an economy that grows from the bottom up and the middle out, where everyone does well. I’m here to deliver what I believe is a closing argument about what we need to do in the next 15 days to make a victory assured and make it clear that this election is a referendum - it’s not a referendum, I should say it’s a choice. So, look, the last couple weeks - I don’t pay attention to anything having to do with the polls, I just pay attention to what’s happening on the phone, and we’re knocking on doors. ![]() “Republicans ahead.” “Democrats ahead.” “Republicans ahead.” But it’s going to close, I think, with seeing one more shift: “Democrats ahead” in the closing days. First of all, if you speak to most pollsters, they’re not sure anymore - not about the outcome, but about polling. Now the polls have been all over the place. And it’s going to shape the way this country look like for the coming decade, for real. But we just have 15 days until one of the most important elections in our lifetime. And so far, we’re running against the tide, and we’re beating the tide. You know, whether we maintain control of the Senate and the House is a big deal. And, you know, I can’t think of a more consequential election that I’ve been involved in and we’ve been involved in. (Laughs.)Īny rate - and what I want to talk about - I want to make what I think is the most important closing argument to make: I’ve been in to about 30, 31 districts - or 31 places, going to a bunch between now and - now and the election day. There’s a little babe over there who’s not so sure about all this. The first, and maybe most important, to say thank you. THE PRESIDENT: Please have a - take a seat, if you have one.
