The ceasefire and hostage release deal announced between Israel and Hamas is good news – for the families of the hostages taken on October 7th, for the Palestinian civilians who have suffered for more than a year, and for everyone who has prayed for an end to this awful chapter.
It’s important to recognize that no deal – including this one – can ease the pain of those who have lost loved ones, or resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. That work will be much harder, and take much longer. But it will put a stop to the bloodshed, allow people to return to their homes, and get much-needed aid to more than a million desperate, hungry people.
That’s something we should all support, and I’m grateful to President Biden, Secretary Blinken, and all the leaders and diplomatic teams from around the world who have worked so hard to get this done.
Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what @JoeBiden did.
At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change.
I’m grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship, and his lifetime of service to this country we love.
I revere this country. The institutions. The Presidency. I want our nation to succeed.
But I’m not naive.
Donald Trump has a playbook. They wrote it out for us. 922 pages. With 270 specific points he has publicly supported.
If our American values and freedoms are attacked, we will not stand idly by.
Thank you Vice President @KamalaHarris for putting your faith in me, and selecting me as your running mate. Campaigning at your side was the honor and privilege of my life.
The Republican nominee for president of the United States: "Dictators are the smartest people."
Joe Rogan: "But dictators are evil and dangerous."
Yes they are, Joe. Yes they are.
To the men in my life, to men everywhere; to the women in my life, to women everywhere—let’s honor ourselves, our safety, our futures and may others honor us too. May we vote for our present and our future.
This is a flat out lie. We’re working with all partners around the clock to get help to people. Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories have hurt the morale of first responders and people who lost everything, helped scam artists and put government and rescue workers in danger. - RC
For only the second time in our 179-year history, the editors of Scientific American are endorsing a candidate for president. That person is @KamalaHarris. | Editorial https://t.co/dOsFW8BQCn
There are only 50 days left until Election Day. And there's too much at stake to sit this one out.
So get involved in any way you can. Knock on doors or make phone calls for the Harris-Walz campaign. Talk to your friends, family, and neighbors about why it’s important to vote in this election. And make sure you’re registered and ready to vote by going to https://t.co/6XrsHLEGkF.
Because if we work like we’ve never worked before, we will elect @KamalaHarris as our next President and @Tim_Walz as our next Vice President. And together, we will build a better future.
Former vice president Cheney endorsing Vice President Harris is huge. He’s not saying he supports her policies, he’s not saying he’s no longer a true conservative; he’s saying Trump presents such a clear threat to our country that he’s putting his love of country first.
