Both stressed the importance of putting new blood into the Oval Office, pointing out the nearly two-decade gap between Trump, 78, the Republican nominee, and Harris, 60, the Democratic nominee.
“There is an overwhelming call for a fresh start, for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic and excited about what we can do together,” said Harris. “There is a yearning for a president of the United States who will see you, who gets you, and who will fight for you.”
Harris addressed issues directly affecting Americans and how she would deal with solving them, including her plan for reducing the costs of groceries, prescription medication, housing and household necessities.
