"I ask you to meet this moment."

"I ask you to stand in truth, to reject the depraved cruelty of Donald Trump."

"And I ask you instead to help us elect Kamala Harris."

As the Republican National Convention prepares to close with Trump's nominee acceptance speech tonight, a reminder of some key differences between the parties and their visions for America:

#USPolitics #USPol #Democrats #Biden #Harris #MAGA #Republicans #Trump #Vance #Economy

Economy when Reagan-Bush ran #MorningInAmerica reelection ad:

• Unemployment 7.3%; Inflation 4.3%

Economy today under the Biden-Harris #GreatAmericanComeback:

• Unemployment 4.1%; Inflation 3.0%

#USPol #USPolitics #Economy

Two Reminders as the Republican National Convention Begins:

1. No Republican since Reagan has delivered strong job growth, while every Democrat has.

2. Unemployment and inflation are lower today under Biden than when Reagan ran 1984 Morning in America reelection ad.
