End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller issued the following statement on Vice President Kamala Harris’ win in the first general election debate:
“Tonight, Vice President Harris showed why she is the leader our nation needs to navigate these unprecedented times. Her unwavering commitment to upholding democracy, protecting our individual freedoms, and building an economy that works for everyone was on full display throughout the debate.
“The contrast is clear: while Donald Trump is only looking out for himself and his billionaire donors, Vice President Harris is taking on the corporate special interests to deliver for working families.
“Vice President Harris’ vision is rooted in pragmatism and fairness. Throughout her campaign, we have seen a renewed dedication to policies that prioritize people over profits. Her work in holding corporations accountable for price gouging and fueling inflation, coupled with her efforts to pass democracy reforms, like the Freedom to Vote Act and John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, demonstrates a genuine commitment to ending corruption in Washington and putting working people first.
“Meanwhile, Donald Trump proved once again that he is the most corrupt president in our country’s history. His performance further exposed that he has no regard for the values and rights that define America. As he unapologetically stated tonight, he has no regrets about the deadly January 6 insurrection and continues to refuse to accept the results of the 2020 election. If given another term, he will pursue an extreme agenda that bolsters his financial interests and the interests of his billionaire donors, rather than the American people. He will continue to undermine the very foundations of our democracy and forcefully impose a dangerous, out-of-touch agenda on the American people. Donald Trump poses an existential threat to our democracy and he is fundamentally unfit to lead the country.
“We are proud to stand with Vice President Harris and we look forward to helping her win.”
