And we believe in the promise of America. Are we ready to fight for it? Vice President Kamala Harris made her way to Wilkes University as a part of her new way forward tour, thousands of people were in attendance, some from nearby states, others from nearby dorm rooms. I wouldn't miss it for the world. The last time I was just fired up and ready to go was Barack Obama. We were actually supposed to have a dodgeball tournament here tonight. So when we found out she was here, we were like, well, I guess we're not having that, but it's ok because we would, we would rather her than play dodgeball before him took the podium. A few familiar Pennsylvania political faces gave their own endorsements. The crowds really roared as Kamala Harris took the podium within minutes. She addressed her debate against former president Donald Trump this past Tuesday. It was the same old show, the same tired playbook we've heard for years with no plan, no plan on how he would address the needs of the American people touched on her campaign themes like tax cuts for small businesses and tackling corporate price gouging here. She also unveiled a new policy, getting rid of college degree requirements for federal jobs for far too long. Our nation has encouraged only one path to success, a four year college degree. Our nation needs to recognize the value of other paths. I think it went wonderfully. It was full of a lot of energy. There's tons of people here going in the right direction because we don't want to go back. But the Ier news watch 16 Wilkes Barre.
