Kamala Harris

I believe a child going without an education is tantamount to a crime. So I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents for truancy.

My mother understood the importance of taking care of people, especially when they are exposed to hurt or pain. And I was raised to feel that same way.

In the world that Joe Biden and I believe can and should exist, people should only have to work one job.

One of the things that I do to relax at the end of the day is I read recipes.

If I've had a particularly crazy day, I try to squeeze in a nice hot bath before I go to bed. And I have a hot cup of tea, usually some kind of chamomile.

Many of us went to school on the yellow school bus, right? It's part of our experience growing up. It's part of a nostalgia, a memory of the excitement and joy of going to school to be with your favorite teacher, to be with your best friends and to learn. The school bus takes us there.

Who of us has not had that situation where you've got to wait for approval, and the doctor says, 'Well, I don't know if your insurance company is going to cover this?' Let's eliminate all of that.

If segregationists had their way, I would not be a member of the United States Senate today, I would not be a top contender to be president of the United States.

Part of my focus on what we need to do around smart gun safety laws is recognize we have to have more enforcement around gun dealers.

Listen, I think that people want a president who is going to be interested in the things that keep them up at night, the things that are weighing on them, the things that are debilitating and can be addressed.

My mother cooked like a scientist. She had a giant Chinese-style cleaver that she chopped with, and a cupboard full of spices.

I grew up hearing stories about my grandmother - my mother's mother - who used to go to villages in India in her little VW bug. My grandmother would take a bullhorn and make sure women in these villages knew how to access birth control.

The truth is that the vast majority of Americans are good, fair, and just, and they want their country to reflect those ideals.

My mother came from India to go to the University of California, Berkeley.

We don't have to let extremists define us.

I'm not a billionaire. I can't fund my own campaign.

I support Medicare for all. It is my preferred policy.

We invested an additional $12 billion into community banks, because we know community banks are in the community, and understand the needs and desires of that community as well as the talent and capacity of community.

I love being in a courtroom.

We don't want to promote any system that treats the fact that an individual is LGBT as a personality disorder. And anything that perpetuates that perception is harmful - not only to that member of the community but the entire community.
