Las Vegas - 9 July 2024
1. Wide of Kamala Harris walking on stage
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Kamala Harris, U.S. Vice President:
"Well, hello, Las Vegas. Oh, it's good to be back. It's good to be back"
++BLACK FRAMES++
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Kamala Harris, U.S. Vice President:
"When he was in the White House. Donald Trump, let's not forget, tried more than 60 times to end the Affordable Care Act and try to take health care from millions of Americans with preexisting conditions. Remember those days?"
++BLACK FRAMES++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Kamala Harris, U.S. Vice President:  
"We took on Big Pharma and with the knowledge that, for example, South Asians are twice as likely to have diabetes. We capped the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month. We are finally making it so that medical debt cannot be used against your credit score."
++BLACK FRAMES++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Kamala Harris, U.S. Vice President:
"We have also fought to protect our communities from hate and violence, including by passing the Covid 19 Hate Crimes Act, which made it easier for AANHPI (Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander) communities to report acts of hate. On the other hand, the former president consistently incites hate, including toward the AANHPI community. I will not repeat his words. I will not repeat his words because they should never be repeated. But I will say that someone who vilifies immigrants, who promotes xenophobia, someone who stokes hate should never again have the chance to stand behind a microphone and the seal of the President of the United States."
++BLACK FRAMES++
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Kamala Harris, U.S. Vice President:
"President Donald Trump hand-picked three members of the United States Supreme Court because he intended for them to undo the protections of Roe v Wade. And as he intended, they did. Now, now, over 20 states have a Trump abortion ban, many with no exceptions even for rape and incest. And Trump has not denied, much less shown remorse for, his actions. Instead, he proudly he uses the word proudly takes credit for overturning Roe."
++BLACK FRAMES++
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Kamala Harris, U.S. Vice President:
"So if the Supreme Court says the laws do not apply to Donald Trump, if people like Mike Pence are not around to stand up to him, and if extremists in Congress continue to bow down to him, our last defense, our last line of defense is the ballot box. Our vote, our vote. In 2020 and 2022, it was the leaders in this room and in this community who showed the power of your voice and your vote. And in 2024, we need you to do it again."

STORYLINE:

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign has launched its formal outreach campaign to Asian American voters, putting Vice President Kamala Harris at the forefront of the effort with events in Nevada and Pennsylvania this week.

AANHPIs for Biden-Harris (AANHPI stands for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander) and it kicked off with an event in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Harris is the first person of South Asian descent to serve as vice president, and the spotlight on her has only grown since Biden’s stumbling debate performance last month raised questions about whether he would withdraw his candidacy and Harris would take his place.

Harris will also deliver a keynote address Saturday at a town hall in Philadelphia hosted by APIAVote, an advocacy group focused on mobilizing Asian American voters.
