Kamala Harris did Interview on local West Virginia Station to Discuss Biden's Agenda

I thought this was a great idea . Hopefully people heard what was in there and it puts pressure on leaders in their state to support it . This is something we should be doing more of . Even during off election years keep people informed through local stations .



As we navigate month 10 of the COVID-19 pandemic, the weight on the shoulders of American families is insurmountable.

On Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke exclusively with WSAZ’s Amanda Barren. We had the opportunity to ask her if help is coming -- and when.

“To your point in West Virginia, one in seven families is describing their household as being hungry, one in six can’t pay their rent, and one in four small businesses are closing permanently or have already closed, so it’s a big issue in West Virginia and across the country,” Harris said. “And that’s why the president and I are offering the American Rescue Plan.”

The American Rescue Plan (ARP) would put cash into American’s bank accounts. It has the framework for small business help, money for the return to education and extending the eviction and foreclosure moratorium.

Words matter, especially coming from the Vice President. For the folks there that are struggling, it goes a long way to hear them say "We are here to support you and the reason I am here in West Virginia talking with you is because everybody matters whether you voted for us or not"
