Washington, D.C.—On the third night of the Republican National Convention, Latino Victory Fund President & CEO Sindy M. Benavides issued a statement highlighting the difference between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump running mate J.D. Vance:
“The selection of J.D. Vance as the Republican number two pick makes it that much clearer that Biden-Harris is the only ticket qualified to lead our democracy into the next four years. Vance is nothing but a Trump carbon copy who supports MAGA extremist policies that endanger Latinos, immigrants and our democracy.
“Vance won’t flinch before attacking Latinos and immigrants to rally the base, and he supports policies that restrict abortion rights. It’s no surprise the Trump campaign is not committing to debating Vice President Harris before the DNC. Vance is not prepared to lead, and he can’t hold a candle to VP Harris’ experience and record. Since the MAGA Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in October 2022, Vice President Harris in contrast, has become the standard bearer for all women: mobilizing tens of thousands of Americans in the course of her Reproductive Freedoms Tour and Fight for Our Freedoms Tour, as we push for access to reproductive healthcare for all women, in every state.
“The Biden-Harris administration lifted us out of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic that was mismanaged by the Trump administration––and resulted in the death of over a million Americans. The Biden-Harris administration stabilized the inflation resulting from that pandemic. Biden-Harris brought America back on the world stage. And only the Biden-Harris ticket stands to safeguard our democracy now and into the future.”
