Harris Campaign Press Release - What Iowans are Saying About Kamala Harris at the Second Democratic Debate

Iowans Weigh In: Kamala Harris Successfully Prosecutes the Case Against Trump in Debate

Tonight, Iowans across the state applauded Senator Kamala Harris' performance in the second Democratic debate, where she laid out her plans to deliver real, bold solutions for the challenges American families face and showed why she is the best candidate to prosecute the case against four more years of Donald Trump.

She discussed her "3AM Agenda" to find solutions for the issues that wake people up at night and take actions to make their lives better, including her Medicare for All plan that ensures health care is a right, not a privilege. She brought critical issues to the forefront of the conversation, discussing reproductive justice and her plans to hold corporations responsible for ensuring equal pay for women.

Harris will return to Iowa on August 8 for her 5-day bus tour from Sioux City in Northwest Iowa to Davenport in Southeast Iowa, from the Missouri River to the Mississippi. She will make stops across three of Iowa's congressional districts throughout Northwestern, Northeastern, Central, and Southeastern Iowa.

Here are some early reviews from caucusgoers across Iowa:

Alexandra Rucinski, Women's Health Activist -
"Kamala Harris' Medicare for All plan is the health care plan that Iowans want and she showed she can defend it from attacks on both sides."

Kelli Emerson, Bettendorf, IA -
"I think her closing statement said it all. She is the one who can prosecute the case against Donald Trump and begin to repair the damage he has done. That's why I'm all in."
