<h1 class="headline">Harris Spoke. Trump Tweeted.</h1>
<div class="subhead transcript-note">Former President Trump posted more than 30 times on his platform, Truth Social, while
Vice President Harris addressed the DNC. The two commentaries, aligned by time stamp, present diverging
visions of America.
</div>
<p style="font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">This story is not a fact check. While some egregious and salient misstatements
of fact are noted, readers looking for detail should
consult independent fact-checks of <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/08/25/g-s1-19480/harris-dnc-fact-check">Harris</a> and <a href="https://time.com/7014304/kamala-harris-dnc-speech-trump-splitscreen-commentary-response-factchecks/">Trump's</a> statements.</p>
</div>
<p class="speech-para">OK, let’s get to business. Let’s get to business. All right.</p>
<p class="speech-para">So, let me start by thanking my most incredible husband, Doug. For being an incredible partner to
me, an incredible father to Cole and Ella, and happy anniversary, Dougie. I love you so very much.</p>
<p class="speech-para">To our president, Joe Biden. When I think about the path that we have traveled together, Joe, I
am filled with gratitude. Your record is extraordinary, as history will show, and your character is inspiring. And
Doug and I love you and Jill, and are forever thankful to you both.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And to Coach Tim Walz. You are going to be an incredible vice president. And to the delegates and
everyone who has put your faith in our campaign, your support is humbling.</p>
<p class="speech-para">So, America, the path that led me here in recent weeks was, no doubt, unexpected. But I’m no
stranger to unlikely journeys. So, my mother, our mother, Shyamala Harris, had one of her own. And I miss her every
day, and especially right now. And I know she’s looking down smiling. I know that.</p>
<p class="transcript-note">This is likely an example of transcription delay. Former President Trump was almost certainly responding
to VP Harris's above compliments to her running mate, Tim Walz, but took longer than the typical 60 seconds
to make the post.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">So, my mother was 19 when she crossed the world alone, traveling from India to California with an
unshakable dream to be the scientist who would cure breast cancer.</p>
<p class="speech-para">When she finished school, she was supposed to return home to a traditional arranged marriage. But
as fate would have it, she met my father, Donald Harris, a student from Jamaica. They fell in love and got married,
and that act of self-determination made my sister, Maya, and me.</p>
<p class="speech-para">Growing up, we moved a lot. I will always remember that big Mayflower truck, packed with all our
belongings, ready to go — to Illinois, to Wisconsin, and wherever our parents’ jobs took us.</p>
<p class="speech-para">My early memories of our parents together are very joyful ones. A home filled with laughter and
music: Aretha, Coltrane and Miles. At the park, my mother would say, “Stay close.” But my father would say, as he
smiled, “Run, Kamala, run. Don’t be afraid. Don’t let anything stop you.” From my earliest years, he taught me to be
fearless.</p>
<p class="speech-para">But the harmony between my parents did not last. When I was in elementary school, they split up,
and it was mostly my mother who raised us. Before she could finally afford to buy a home, she rented a small
apartment in the East Bay.</p>
<p class="speech-para">In the Bay — in the Bay — you either live in the hills or the flatlands. We lived in the flats. A
beautiful, working-class neighborhood of firefighters, nurses and construction workers. All who tended their lawns
with pride.</p>
<p class="speech-para">My mother, she worked long hours. And like many working parents, she leaned on a trusted circle
to help raise us. Mrs. Shelton, who ran the day care below us and became a second mother. Uncle Sherman, Aunt Mary,
Uncle Freddie, Auntie Chris — none of them family by blood, and all of them family by love.</p>
<p class="transcript-note">VP Harris's working class roots have become a central pillar of her campaign.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">Family who taught us how to make gumbo, how to play chess — and sometimes even let us win. Family
who loved us, believed in us, and told us we could be anything and do anything.</p>
<p class="speech-para">They instilled in us the values they personified — community, faith and the importance of
treating others as you would want to be treated. With kindness, respect and compassion. My mother was a brilliant,
five-foot-tall brown woman with an accent. And as the eldest child — as the eldest child — I saw how the world would
sometimes treat her.</p>
<p class="speech-para">But my mother never lost her cool. She was tough, courageous, a trailblazer in the fight for
women’s health, and she taught Maya and me a lesson that Michelle mentioned the other night. She taught us to never
complain about injustice, but do something about it. Do something about it.</p>
<p class="speech-para">That was my mother. And she taught us — and she always — she also taught us, and she also taught
us — and never do anything half-assed. And that is a direct quote. A direct quote.</p>
<p class="speech-para">I grew up immersed in the ideals of the civil rights movement. My parents had met at a civil
rights gathering and they made sure that we learned about civil rights leaders, including the lawyers like Thurgood
Marshall and Constance Baker Motley, those who battled in the courtroom to make real the promise of America.</p>
<p class="speech-para">So, at a young age, I decided I wanted to do that work. I wanted to be a lawyer. And when it came
time to choose the type of law I would pursue, I reflected on a pivotal moment in my life.</p>
<p class="speech-para">You see, when I was in high school, I started to notice something about my best friend, Wanda.
She was sad at school, and there were times she didn’t want to go home. So one day I asked if everything was all
right, and she confided in me that she was being sexually abused by her stepfather. And I immediately told her she
had to come stay with us, and she did.</p>
<p class="speech-para">This is one of the reasons I became a prosecutor: to protect people like Wanda, because I believe
everyone has a right to safety, to dignity and to justice.</p>
<p class="speech-para">As a prosecutor, when I had a case, I charged it not in the name of the victim, but in the name
of the people, for a simple reason. In our system of justice, a harm against any one of us is a harm against all of
us. And I would often explain this to console survivors of crime, to remind them: No one should be made to fight
alone. We are all in this together.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And every day, in the courtroom, I stood proudly before a judge and I said five words: Kamala
Harris, for the people. And to be clear — and to be clear, my entire career, I’ve only had one client: the people.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">And, so, on behalf of the people, on behalf of every American, regardless of party, race, gender
or the language your grandmother speaks. On behalf of my mother, and everyone who has ever set out on their own
unlikely journey. On behalf of Americans like the people I grew up with — people who work hard, chase their dreams
and look out for one another. On behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on
Earth, I accept your nomination to be president of the United States of America.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And with this election, and — and with this election, our nation — our nation, with this
election, has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the
past, a chance to chart a new way forward. Not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And let me say, I know there are people of various political views watching tonight. And I want
you to know, 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.</p>
<p class="speech-para">I will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations. A president who leads and
listens; who is realistic, practical and has common sense; and always fights for the American people. From the
courthouse to the White House, that has been my life’s work.</p>
<p class="speech-para">As a young courtroom prosecutor in Oakland, Calif., I stood up for women and children against
predators who abused them. As attorney general of California, I took on the big banks, delivered $20 billion for
middle-class families who faced foreclosure and helped pass a homeowner bill of rights, one of the first of its kind
in the nation.</p>
<p class="transcript-note">
Former President Trump, by contrast, has focused his campaign on economic issues including high prices and inflation.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">I stood up for veterans and students being scammed by big, for-profit colleges. For workers who
were being cheated out of their wages, the wages they were due. For seniors facing elder abuse.</p>
<p class="speech-para">I fought against the cartels who traffic in guns and drugs and human beings. Who threaten the
security of our border and the safety of our communities. And I will tell you, these fights were not easy, and
neither were the elections that put me in those offices. We were underestimated at practically every turn.</p>
<p class="speech-para">But we never gave up. Because the future is always worth fighting for. And that’s the fight we
are in right now — a fight for America’s future.</p>
<p class="transcript-note">Former President Trump's commentary on this point is <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/08/11/nx-s1-5070566/trump-news-conference">inaccurate</a>. While VP Harris was tasked with leading diplomatic efforts with several Central
American countries, she was never appointed "border czar" for the Biden administration.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">Fellow Americans, this election is not only the most important of our lives, it is one of the
most important in the life of our nation. In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man. But the consequences — but
the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious.</p>
<p class="speech-para">Consider — consider not only the chaos and calamity when he was in office, but also the gravity
of what has happened since he lost the last election. Donald Trump tried to throw away your votes. When he failed,
he sent an armed mob to the U.S. Capitol, where they assaulted law enforcement officers. When politicians in his own
party begged him to call off the mob and send help, he did the opposite — he fanned the flames. And now, for an
entirely different set of crimes, he was found guilty of fraud by a jury of everyday Americans, and separately — and
separately found liable for committing sexual abuse.</p>
<p class="transcript-note">
Former President Trump's statement is false. Both of the cases to which VP Harris refers were tried at the state
level with no connection to the Biden administration or its officers.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">And consider, consider what he intends to do if we give him
power again. Consider his explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement
officers at the Capitol.</p>
<p class="transcript-note">This flurry of posts - eight in just over three minutes - is the fastest during the 37 minutes
of VP Harris's speech. It coincides with the only section in which VP Harris directly addresses the subject of her opponent.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">His explicit intent to jail journalists, political opponents and anyone he sees as the enemy. His
explicit intent to deploy our active duty military against our own citizens. Consider, consider the power he will
have, especially after the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled that he would be immune from criminal prosecution. Just
imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails, and how he would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United
States. Not to improve your life, not to strengthen our national security, but to serve the only client he has ever
had: himself.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And we know, and we know what a second Trump term would look like. It’s all laid out in Project
2025, written by his closest advisers. And its sum total is to pull our country back to the past. But America, we
are not going back. We are not going back. We are not going back.</p>
<p class="speech-para">We are not going back to when Donald Trump tried to cut Social Security and Medicare. We are not
going back to when he tried to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, when insurance companies could deny people with
pre-existing conditions. We are not going to let him eliminate the Department of Education that funds our public
schools.</p>
<p class="speech-para">We are not going to let him end programs like Head Start that provide preschool and child care
for our children. America, we are not going back.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And we are charting — and we are charting a new way forward. Forward to a future with a strong
and growing middle class because we know a strong middle class has always been critical to America’s success, and
building that middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And I’ll tell you, this is personal for me. The middle class is where I come from. My mother kept
a strict budget. We lived within our means. Yet, we wanted for little and she expected us to make the most of the
opportunities that were available to us, and to be grateful for them. Because, as she taught us, opportunity is not
available to everyone. That’s why we will create what I call an opportunity economy, an opportunity economy where
everyone has the chance to compete and a chance to succeed. Whether you live in a rural area, small town, or big
city. And as president, I will bring together labor and workers and small-business owners and entrepreneurs and
American companies to create jobs, to grow our economy and to lower the cost of everyday needs like health care and
housing and groceries.</p>
<p class="speech-para">We will provide access to capital for small-business owners and entrepreneurs and founders. And
we will end America’s housing shortage, and protect Social Security and Medicare.</p>
<p class="speech-para">Now compare that to Donald Trump. Because I think everyone here knows, he doesn’t actually fight
for the middle class. Not — he doesn’t actually fight for the middle class. Instead, he fights for himself and his
billionaire friends. And he will give them another round of tax breaks that will add up to $5 trillion to the
national debt.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And all the while, he intends to enact what, in effect, is a national sales tax, call it a Trump
tax, that would raise prices on middle-class families by almost $4,000 a year. Well, instead of a Trump tax hike, we
will pass a middle-class tax cut that will benefit more than 100 million Americans.</p>
<p class="speech-para">Friends, I believe America cannot truly be prosperous unless Americans are fully able to make
their own decisions about their own lives, especially on matters of heart and home.</p>
<p class="speech-para">But tonight, in America, too many women are not able to make those decisions. And let’s be clear
about how we got here: Donald Trump handpicked members of the U.S. Supreme Court to take away reproductive freedom.
And now, he brags about it.</p>
<p class="transcript-note">Since the Supreme Court's June 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, abortion rights
have become a critical issue on the campaign trail, with VP Harris seeking to draw a clear contrast between her
own support for pro-Choice policies and former President Trump's influence in staffing a conservative court. The issue
is <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/09/01/nx-s1-5094484/the-election-likely-depends-by-a-narrow-slice-of-the-electorate-undecided-voters">closely watched by undecided voters</a>.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">In his words, “I did it, and I’m proud to have done it.”</p>
<p class="speech-para">Well, I will tell you, over the past two years, I’ve traveled across our country, and women have
told me their stories. Husbands and fathers have shared theirs. Stories of women miscarrying in a parking lot,
developing sepsis, losing the ability to ever again have children, all because doctors are afraid they may go to
jail for caring for their patients. Couples just trying to grow their family, cut off in the middle of I.V.F.
treatments.</p>
<p class="speech-para">Children who have survived sexual assault, potentially being forced to carry a pregnancy to term.
This is what’s happening in our country because of Donald Trump. And understand, he is not done. As a part of his
agenda, he and his allies would limit access to birth control, ban medication abortion and enact a nationwide
abortion ban, with or without Congress.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And get this. Get this. He plans to create a national anti-abortion coordinator, and force states
to report on women’s miscarriages and abortions. Simply put, they are out of their minds. And one must ask — one
must ask, why exactly is it that they don’t trust women? Well, we trust women. We trust women.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom, as president of the United
States, I will proudly sign it into law.</p>
<p class="speech-para">In this election, many other fundamental freedoms are at stake. The freedom to live safe from gun
violence in our schools, communities and places of worship. The freedom to love who you love openly and with pride.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">The freedom to breathe clean air, and drink clean water and live free from the pollution that
fuels the climate crisis. And the freedom that unlocks all the others: the freedom to vote. With this election, we
finally have the opportunity to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And let me be clear — and let me be clear, after decades in law enforcement, I know the
importance of safety and security, especially at our border. Last year, Joe and I brought together Democrats and
conservative Republicans to write the strongest border bill in decades. The border patrol endorsed it. But Donald
Trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign, so he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal.</p>
<p class="speech-para">Well, I refuse to play politics with our security, and here is my pledge to you. As president, I
will bring back the bipartisan border security bill that he killed, and I will sign it into law. I know — I know we
can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants and reform our broken immigration system. We can create
an earned pathway to citizenship and secure our border.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And America, we must also be steadfast in advancing our security and values abroad. As vice
president, I have confronted threats to our security, negotiated with foreign leaders, strengthened our alliances
and engaged with our brave troops overseas. As commander in chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest,
most lethal fighting force in the world. And I will fulfill our sacred obligation to care for our troops and their
families, and I will always honor and never disparage their service and their sacrifice.</p>
<p class="speech-para">I will make sure that we lead the world into the future on space and artificial intelligence.
That America, not China, wins the competition for the 21st century and that we strengthen, not abdicate, our global
leadership. Trump, on the other hand, threatened to abandon NATO. He encouraged Putin to invade our allies. Said
Russia could “do whatever the hell they want.”</p>
<p class="speech-para">Five days before Russia attacked Ukraine, I met with President Zelensky to warn him about
Russia’s plan to invade. I helped mobilize a global response — over 50 countries — to defend against Putin’s
aggression. And as president, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our NATO allies.</p>
<p class="speech-para">With respect to the war in Gaza, President Biden and I are working around the clock, because now
is the time to get a hostage deal and a cease-fire deal done.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And let me be clear. And let me be clear. I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend
itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of Israel must never
again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on Oct. 7, including unspeakable sexual
violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.</p>
<p class="speech-para">At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many
innocent lives lost. Desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety, over and over again. The scale of suffering is
heartbreaking.</p>
<p class="speech-para">President Biden and I are working to end this war, such that Israel is secure, the hostages are
released, the suffering in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security,
freedom and self-determination.</p>
<p class="transcript-note">Disagreement over the Israel-Hamas war has roiled the Democratic party, and placed a spotlight
on VP Harris's intended policies for the region, which have so far not diverged significantly from President Biden's.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">And know this: I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces
and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists. I will not cozy up to tyrants and dictators like Kim
Jong-un, who are rooting for Trump. Who are rooting for Trump.</p>
<p class="speech-para">Because, you know, they know — they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors. They
know Trump won’t hold autocrats accountable because he wants to be an autocrat himself.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And as president, I will never waver in defense of America’s security and ideals, because in the
enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny, I know where I stand and I know where the United States belongs.
</p>
<p class="speech-para">So, fellow Americans. Fellow Americans. I — I love our country with all my heart. Everywhere I go
— everywhere I go, in everyone I meet, I see a nation that is ready to move forward. Ready for the next step in the
incredible journey that is America.</p>
<p class="speech-para">I see an America where we hold fast to the fearless belief that built our nation and inspired the
world. That here, in this country, anything is possible. That nothing is out of reach. An America where we care for
one another, look out for one another and recognize that we have so much more in common than what separates us. That
none of us — none of us has to fail for all of us to succeed.</p>
<p class="speech-para">And that in unity, there is strength. You know, our opponents in this race are out there every
day denigrating America, talking about how terrible everything is. Well, my mother had another lesson she used to
teach: Never let anyone tell you who you are. You show them who you are.</p>
<p class="speech-para">America, let us show each other and the world who we are and what we stand for: Freedom,
opportunity, compassion, dignity, fairness and endless possibilities.</p>
<p class="speech-para">We are the heirs to the greatest democracy in the history of the world. And on behalf of our
children and our grandchildren and all those who sacrificed so dearly for our freedom and liberty, we must be worthy
of this moment.</p>
<p class="speech-para">It is now our turn to do what generations before us have done, guided by optimism and faith, to
fight for this country we love, to fight for the ideals we cherish and to uphold the awesome responsibility that
comes with the greatest privilege on Earth: the privilege and pride of being an American. So let’s get out there,
let’s fight for it. Let’s get out there, let’s vote for it, and together, let us write the next great chapter in the
most extraordinary story ever told.</p>
<p class="speech-para">Thank you. God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America. Thank you.</p>

<h2>Methodology <a href="https://github.com/declanrjb/kamala-trump-timing"><i class="fa-brands fa-github"></i></a></h2>
<p>Time stamps for Former President Trump's statements were taken from his Truth Social platform, with precision
to the nearest second, and converted to Eastern Standard Time (EST). Review of a recorded live CNN broadcast
indicated that VP Harris began speaking at 10:33:36 (EST), with the time to the minute displayed by the broadcaster
itself and second precision timed manually by a reporter with a stopwatch.
</p>
<p>A freely available YouTube recording of the address was downloaded with <a class="tool">yt-dlp</a> and transcribed using <a class="tool">vibe</a>,
yielding a JSON file of microsecond precision timestamps for each rough sentence. The transcripts were aligned against
VP Harris's phrase "thank you, thank you, please, thank you."</p>
<p>Further calculations and data analysis were performed in <a class="tool">R</a>. Time stamps for Former President Trump's
posts were then placed into transcript time by calculating the difference between their time in EST and the moment of
the transcript's first line (10:33:36). Manual review of clear direct response posts ("chaos and calamity", etc) suggested
that the typical typing time for a post was approximately 60 seconds, and this offset was subtracted from each post's transcript
time. Manual review also matched posts to timestamped lines of the transcript and corrected for transcription errors, and the full
transcript was checked against the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/23/us/politics/kamala-harris-speech-transcript.html">New York Times' version</a>.</p>
