As the Presidential race begins to heat up after the major party conventions ended, North Carolina doesn’t fall short of the spotlight when it comes to campaigning for our battle ground state.
Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine visited Greensboro today to speak about the Hilary Clinton campaign and their plan to make the working world better.
“If hard work is important, and I believe it is, and we have good workers, and I know that we do then we ought to value work and treat workers with dignity. That’s equal pay for equal work and minimum wage,” Kaine said.
Kaine said that according to Moody’s Analytics company that if Hilary Clinton implements her plans during her first term as President, she will produce more than 10 million new jobs.
“Would you rather have a ‘you’re hired’ president or a ‘you’re fired’ president,” Kaine asked the audience to a resounding, ‘You’re hired’ response. “Of course. Of course. It’s so simple we want a ‘you’re hired’ president not a ‘you’re fired’ president and folks, Hilary Clinton is and will be a ‘you’re hired’ president.”
Attorney General Roy Cooper, who is the Democratic nominee for governor, spoke at the rally encouraging everyone to go out and vote.
“We need you to go knock on doors, we need you to call your neighbors, we need you to register new voters and tell them how important this election is. We need all of you doing whatever it takes from now until Election Day to make sure we succeed,” Cooper said. “I believe that with the work that you have already done and with the work that you are going to do that we are going to elect a new governor of North Carolina, and we are going to elect the next Vice President and President of the United States,” Cooper said.
The campaigning continues as Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Mike Pence takes the stage in Raleigh tomorrow to speak on Donald Trump’s campaign.
