I am so excited to be here tonight. What an honor to be part of this historic moment, and you all are part of it. Look, I have known Kamala Harris for more than a decade, and she comes from a family a lot like mine, and I'm sure a lot like yours. We were both raised knowing that no one was going to hand us anything, especially as women, that we were going to have to touch every rung of the ladder to get ahead. We were going to have to work really hard. Now, she worked at McDonald's, but I worked at Wendy's. And look at us now. You see, Kamala and I were able to see beyond the horizon because our families supported our big dreams. Well, guess what? As Americans, we're all part of one big family. Somos Familia. As Familia, we have to have each other's back. We have to support each other's dreams because Kamala's success is our success. And she supports us to dream big, too. So let me tell you, in the Latino community, in our community, we have a saying, Si se puede, which means yes. It means yes, we can.

But tonight, I'm here to tell you, yes, she can. So we're going to say, she se puede. So when someone asks you, is she ready to lead this country forward? We're going to say, she se puede. When somebody says, Is she qualified for the job? We're going to say, She se puede. When somebody asks, Is she going to be the first female President of the United States? We're going to say, She se puede. Our voices, our vote, we're going to decide this election. And let me tell you, the energy tonight isn't just here in Chicago, it's all across the country. People are gathered at watch parties everywhere to celebrate Kamala Harris. Say hello. Yes. All right. We know how to work, so let's get to work. Let's turn all of this enthusiasm and joy into action between now and November fifth. Let's go. She se puede. She se puede. Thank you.
