“Our lives can change so quickly. Mine did when I was shot. But I never gave up hope. I chose to make a new start, to move ahead, to not look back. I am really learning so many things, how to walk, how to talk. And I’m fighting to make the country safer. It can be so difficult. Losses hurt. Setbacks are hard. But I tell myself, move ahead.”

“We are living in challenging times. We’re up for the challenge. My own recovery had taken years. Many, many, many people helped me along the way. And I learned so much. I learned new people care for each other and work together. Progress is possible, but a world is possible. But change doesn’t happen overnight. And we can’t do it alone. Join me. Let’s move ahead together. Thank you. Thank you very much.”
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Joanna McClinton, (D) Pennsylvania House Speaker:
“Just a little over 100 days. On Tuesday, November the 5th, it is imperative that from Erie all the way to Philadelphia, that voters elect Vice President Kamala Harris and change her title to President Kamala Harris because she will stand on the side of safer communities. She, like so many of us all across Pennsylvania, does not believe that weapons of war belong on our streets or in our regular utility stores.”

STORYLINE:
Gabby Giffords, the former Democratic congresswoman who was grievously wounded in a 2011 shooting. took to the campaign trail Thursday for Vice President Kamala Harris, as Harris’ nascent presidential campaign gets off the ground and a parallel campaign to be Harris’ running mate takes shape.

Giffords, speaking at the Salt & Light church in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, met with community activists in a predominantly Black section of Philadelphia hit by mass shootings recently, including one over the weekend.

The event had long been planned, Giffords aides said, well before Giffords’ husband U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro entered the conversation to be Harris’ running mate, now that President Joe Biden ended his re-election bid and endorsed Harris.

Giffords spoke briefly about her long recovery from the shooting in 2011, which killed six people.

Harris’ other surrogates, including Pennsylvania House Speaker Joanna McClinton, framed the November presidential contest as a choice between Harris, who would sign a ban on assault weapons, and more gun violence under Republican Donald Trump, who is backed by gun-rights groups.
