My CIA father cried on 9/11. We didn't agree on everything but we listened to each other. I recall his work amd patriotism today: My dad was a CIA spy. I’m trying to make peace with his complex legacy https://t.co/7wHHcBeHJg

Undecided voters are breaking heavily toward VP Harris.

A Republican voter from Pennsylvania: I have to vote for Kamala. I think she’s misguided, but she’s not an awful human being. Donald Trump is.

[Leslie Absher @LeslieAbsher]

NOT GOING BACK!

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Holy smokes. This is the line in Philadelphia to see President Obama and Bruce Springsteen right now — one day after Trump's racist Madison Square Garden rally. Pennsylvanians are fired up and they are not going back.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I’ve been all over the country in the last month.

And I get asked the same question, over and over again:

“I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?”

Here is my answer:

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Stunning footage shows Donald Trump’s crowd is half empty just a half hour into the rally. This is embarrassing for the Trump campaign.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Make sure every American sees this New York Times headline.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Lindsey Graham blames Donald Trump for the border security legislation not passing. Retweet so all Americans see this and know Donald Trump is to blame for any border security related problems

S.Korean court slapped a 3-year jail term on a young man who'd assaulted a shop clerk for having short hair, in a landmark ruling that recognized misogyny as a motive for a hate crime. The attacker said the clerk's short hair meant she was a "feminist, who deserves to be beaten."

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Trump is going to go ballistic. Look at what Kamala Harris’ campaign just posted on Trump’s social media platform.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Ouch. Trump isn't going to like it…

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Vice President Harris to MAGA hecklers: “Oh you guys are at the wrong rally. I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street”

🔥🔥🔥

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Donald Trump just called January 6th a “day of love” - the day his supporters assaulted police officers, causing injuries and deaths.

America can do so much better. Democrats and Republicans can join to elect Kamala Harris and put the chaos and darkness of Trumpism behind us.

BREAKING

Former GOP Rep. Charlie Dent voted early -in Pennsylvania-for VP Harris:

“Harris and I will not agree on every issue, but in her, we have a capable leader who will always put the interests of our country before her own, unlike her opponent who will always put his personal interests ahead of those of the United States.”
