Last night, Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump squared off the debate stage for the first time since VP Harris officially became the Democratic party’s presidential nominee. The vision for climate and clean energy offered by each candidate could not be more stark!
Voters want to know how these candidates will address climate change, and the debate showed a clear contrast between them. Vice President Harris has a plan: she laid out her clear vision to invest in clean energy jobs, lower costs for working families, and combat extreme weather fueled by climate change, while Donald Trump dodged the question.
ICYMI:
When asked directly about climate change, Donald Trump could not even offer a single solution, because the only plan Trump has is his dangerous Project 2025 plan that will raise costs for American families, destroy millions of jobs, and benefit his Big Oil donors.
While Trump’s response included no reference to climate or clean energy, Kamala Harris offered a clear vision for America that prioritizes the middle class. She laid out her plan to lower energy costs, create good paying jobs, and tackle the climate crisis head on. She made it clear that she is the only candidate who is ready to act on climate and fight to make American lives better.
If you say one thing today:
Kamala Harris stood out on the debate stage as the only candidate who will act on climate. In a week where the costs of extreme weather are impacting Americans from coast to coast, Donald Trump was unhinged and his extreme Project 2025 agenda was a loser on the debate stage and will lose young voters in November.
