The vice president pledged to protect workers, public education, and ‘voting rights’ while speaking with union teachers and administrators.
Vice President Kamala Harris pitched her campaign’s “pro-worker” focus in a speech at the American Federation of Teachers’ (AFT) 88th national convention in Houston on July 25.
“The fact is, unions helped build America’s middle class, and when unions are strong, America is strong,” she told the cheering audience of teachers and administrators.
As her presidential campaign enters its fifth day, Ms. Harris has visited Milwaukee, Indianapolis, and now Houston to make her pitch to American voters, casting her platform as one “focused on the future.”
“In this moment, we are in a fight for our most fundamental freedoms. And to this room of leaders, I say, bring it on,” Ms. Harris said.
