Gov. Tim Walz Selected as Kamala Harris' Running Mate

Together, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are moving our country forward and fighting for working families. Let's win this!

As Governor, Tim Walz cut taxes for working families, lowered the cost of insulin and eliminated junk fees, and protected women’s right to choose. That experience makes him the ideal running mate for Kamala Harris, who has taken on the big banks, led the fight for reproductive freedom, and stood with our allies against Putin’s aggression during her time as a prosecutor, Attorney General, Senator, and Vice President.

Vote for DEmocracy, Not Dictatorship

TAKE ACTION FOR VICE PRESIDENT and PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE KAMALA HARRIS!

Democrats have united around Kamala Harris as our candidate for President.

President Biden and Vice President Harris have made extraordinary progress since they took office, getting to work right away to deliver for hardworking American families. Since then, they’ve continued to pass historic legislation and policies that benefit every American — and they’ll keep fighting for the democracy and fundamental freedoms that we deserve.

Today, Vice President Harris is running to ensure four more years of progress for the American people.

Thank You, President Biden!

Joe Biden has ended his reelection campaign for president. First and foremost, we all owe President Biden an enormous debt of gratitude for the unparalleled progress he has delivered over the last four years. He has been one of the most effective and consequential Presidents to ever lead our nation. Joe represents the best of America--patriotism, dedication, compassion, empathy, and an unshakable faith in the potential of the American people.

Thanks, President Biden, for always working to make things better for all Americans!

Thanks for your support!

Economic Opportunity

Democrats have created millions of good-paying jobs over the last three years, helping our country, state, and county recover from the pandemic. But more must be done to ensure economic security for all. This includes protecting Social Security and Medicare--programs YOU pay for--from attacks by extremist MAGA Republicans.

Reproductive Rights

The overturn of Roe v. Wade stripped reproductive freedom from many people. We will work to keep New York a safe haven for access to abortion, birth control, fertility treatments, and other forms of reproductive healthcare currently under attack across the country.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: Dems to reject Trump-backed policy provisions in CR

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Thursday that Democrats will reject any short-term spending bill that includes Trump-backed policy provisions or kicks the issue of 2025 spending into next year. Jeffries noted that Republican leaders in both chambers have already backed legislation, known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA), that set government spending levels for both fiscal 2024 and 2025 and are now walking away from that deal at the risk of a shutdown.
