My fellow Americans. I want to take this opportunity — and it is an opportunity — to share with you why I have moved past many of the policies I have had a long history of exhibiting, now that I am running to be president of the United States. Think about that. This is a moment of extraordinary courage and leadership, and, as many of you know, the voice that I am carrying — and continue to carry — is a voice for all of us, with all the permeations and ramifications that it brings. This is a moment for me to be truly intentional in my approach to the future, and the past.

We talk a lot about opportunity. But opportunities are not guaranteed until they become guarantees, and then, sad as it can be, they stop being opportunities. Okay? They stop being opportunities. So I want you to imagine a Venn diagram. You know Venn Diagrams, with the three circles? Okay? In one of them, we have the words, “My policies from 2019.” In another, we have the words, “What I actually believe.” And, in the third, we have the words, “My personality, unfiltered through the media.” Hahahahaha. And if you look closely, you’ll see, on the Venn Diagram, that instead of the middle section that looks like a shield saying “Kamala Harris elected president,” it says “Disaster!”

So what we’re trying to do — and trying to do every day — is create a new Venn Diagram where the upside-down-shield part says “Kamala Harris elected president.” And that’s how we build the middle-class and make sure that leadership from our leaders is about leading, instead of, instead of not leading. So, to get there I’ve had to replace the “My policies from 2019” circle with “Donald Trump is lying about my record”; to replace the “What I actually believe” circle with “Did you know I was a prosecutor?”; and to replace the “My personality, unfiltered through the media” circle with “Fake version of Kamala Harris, invented by the media in 2024.” And if we do all that, you’ll see the middle bit now says “Kamala Harris elected president.” Hahahaha.
