It is imperative that American citizens make the right decision by voting for Vice President Kamala Harris. Donald Trump has kept the nation in shambles and has inflicted extreme damage to the justice system. On the other hand, Harris will instill a sense of patriotism back into the population. Harris’ slogan, “New Way Forward,” is the quintessential description of the process America will undergo once she is elected president.

As president, Harris will create an “Opportunity Economy,” allowing everybody, despite their social or economic status, to participate openly in the economy. While Trump advocates for tax cuts for the wealthy, Harris plans to pass middle-class tax cuts, including the restoration of the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit, so more citizens can retain a larger portion of their incomes, along with parents of newborns receiving credit. Her policies will contribute to the growth of the economy and combat inflation.

Harris also supports improving the accessibility of national healthcare. As vice-president, she has enacted healthcare reforms, including the reduction of prescription drug costs and capping expenses for Medicare drug coverage. She has stated that, as president, she will cancel medical debt for millions of Americans. As president, she will create a safer and healthier America.

Harris pushes for improving the climate crisis, as opposed toTrump, who argues that climate reform policies are harming the economy. She has contributed both to the economy and the combatting of the climate crisis by supporting the creation of more sustainable job opportunities.

During her Vice-Presidential term, Harris helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which created countless clean-energy jobs and ultimately lowered household energy costs. She vows to protect public health and advocate for environmental justice, which will allow America to join the fight against climate change and begin the first steps to a more sustainable future.

Endorsing Kamala Harris means endorsing a better America with more opportunities for all. It is imperative that U.S. citizens exercise their right to vote and ensure that the country will be led by a strong and forward-thinking leader. Harris is a part of the future, and she will contribute to a more unified and inclusive nation.
