Election 2024

Democrats "Kalama Harris - For the People"

Republicans Donald Trump - For Himself

"I promise to be a president for all Americans. You can always trust me to put country above party and self, to hold sacred America's fundamental principles—from the rule of law, to free and fair elections, to the peaceful transfer of power.”   — 2024 Democratic Nominee Kamala Harris "We made sure that every kid in our state gets breakfast and lunch every day. While other states were banning books from their schools, we were banishing kids’ hunger from ours.   — Minnesota Governor and VP candidate Tim Walz "Nowhere else in the world could a kid with a stutter and modest beginnings in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware, grow up to sit behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. That’s because America is and always has been a nation of possibilities. We must never lose that. Never. Kamala and Tim understand that this nation must continue to be a place of possibilities. Not just for the few of us, but for all of us."   — President Joe Biden "History will remember Joe Biden as an outstanding president who defended democracy at a moment of great danger," he said. "And I am proud to call him my president, but I am even prouder to call him my friend."   — President Barack Obama “Thank you, Joe! Thank you, Joe! Thank you, Joe!”   — Convention crowd chant (Also: “We love Joe!” and “Union Joe!”) "As a computer science major, I am so impressed by how large this AI-generated crowd looks tonight."   — Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) "Let's cut to the chase—I am too old to gild the lily. Two days ago I turned 78, the oldest man in my family for four generations. And the only personal vanity I want to assert is, I'm still younger than Donald Trump."   — President Bill Clinton “I believe in a better politics—one that finds us at our most decent, and open, and brave—the kind of politics that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are offering. As you’ve felt in the last couple of days, that kind of politics just feels good to be a part of. There’s joy in it, as well as power. … [The Trump campaign is] doubling down on negativity and grievance, committing to a concept of campaigning best summed up in one word: darkness. The thing is, I just don’t believe that America today is in the market for darkness.”   — Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg “We must choose between the promise of January 5th and the peril of January 6th—a nation that embraces all of us or just some of us.”   — Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) "Kamala is getting broad support: There's Black Men for Kamala, White Men for Kamala, Latinos and Asians for Kamala, and they even have Republicans for Kamala. I guess Donald Trump will finally know what it's like when you get left for a younger woman."   — Comedian D.L. Hughley "When a house is on fire, we don’t ask about the homeowner's race or religion. We don't wonder who their partner is or how they voted. No, we just try to the best job we can to save them. And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady? Well, we try to get that cat out, too."   — Oprah “So your source is ‘trust me, bro?' Alright, you’re full of crap.”   — Knowa De Brasco, 12, after Mike Lindell (who shaved his mustache off to go to the DNC "incognito") tried to gaslight the social media influencer about the 2020 election results without evidence. “Why wouldn’t we choose the leader that’s tough, tested and a total badass? Like women across America, we just GST: Get Stuff Done.”   — Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) “For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. His limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hardworking, highly-educated, successful people who happen to be Black. I wanna know: who’s gonna tell him that the job he’s currently seeking might just be one of those ‘Black jobs’?”   — Michelle Obama "By the way, I got a message for the Republicans and the justices of the US Supreme Court: You can pry this wedding band from my cold, dead, gay hand. And I’m retaining a lotta water, so good luck with that."   — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel “Donald Trump says we should trust him on the economy, because he claims to be very rich. Well take it from an actual billionaire, Trump is only rich in one thing: stupidity.”   — Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) "Let's compare their resumes, shall we? One candidate worked at McDonald's. while she was in college at an HBCU. The other was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and helped his daddy in the family business---housing discrimination, that is. She became a career prosecutor, while he became a career criminal, with 34 felonies, two impeachments, and one porn star to prove it."   — Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) "Kamala Harris is one of us. She's a fighter for the working class and Donald Trump is a scab."   — UAW President Shawn Fain "Kamala is a joyful warrior. Her passion will benefit all of us when she's our president. And here’s the thing about joyful warriors: they're still warriors, and Kamala is as tough as it comes. Just ask the criminals, the global gangsters and the witnesses before the Senate Judiciary Committee."   — Second Gentleman (soon to be first) Doug Emhoff “I have an urgent message for the majority of Americans who like me are in the political middle: John McCain’s Republican Party is gone, and we don’t owe a damn thing to what's been left behind. Let’s turn the page. Let’s put country first. Let's put adults in the room our country deserves.”   — Mesa, AZ Mayor John Giles (R) “After the votes are tallied, in the words of the great Steph Curry, we can tell Donald Trump: Night, night!"   — Coach Steve Kerr Quotes from Cheers & Jeers for 22 Aug '24 & 23 Aug '24
