Des Moines, IA — Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart released the following statement following Aug 13th’s presidential debate:

“Trump continues to pose a serious threat to families in Iowa and across the nation, as he puts himself above American voters and our democracy, wants to ban abortion nationwide, and threatens access to affordable health care and to gut Social Security and Medicare.

On Aug 13th, Iowans saw the stark contrast between President Biden’s vision for the future – building on his agenda of lowering prices, creating good-paying jobs, and protecting our fundamental freedoms – and convicted felon Donald Trump’s plan to give more tax breaks to his billionaire donors at working families’ expense.

President Biden made it clear that he works for all Iowans and America’s working families, while Trump only cares about himself.”
