Ahead of the presidential debate tonight, South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain released the following statement:
“On Sep 9th night, South Carolinians will see the stark contrast between Vice President Harris’ vision for a new way forward that protects our fundamental freedoms, strengthens our democracy, and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead – and Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda which will clear the path for Trump to have virtually unchecked power over our lives, to give more tax breaks to his billionaire friends at working families’ expense, gut South Carolinians’ hard-earned benefits, and ban abortion nationwide. This is the most important election of our lifetime. The contrast couldn’t be clearer. South Carolinians know that Trump will always look out for himself and his billionaire friends and leave middle-class families behind, while Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz will look out for all of us and take us to a brighter, freer, and more joyful future. That’s why they’ll send Vice President Harris to the White House so that she can chart a new path forward.”
