Thank you, Minneapolis! Thank you, Minnesota! Minnesota has 10 electoral votes. And those votes will not be won by taking anyone for granted. They will be won by showing up, speaking truth, and fighting for every family in this state. **Let me start with healthcare.** Minnesota leads the nation in healthcare. The Mayo Clinic. The University of Minnesota. Some of the best doctors and nurses in the world. But Washington is threatening to cut it all. They want to cut Medicaid. They want to gut Medicare. They want to let drug companies charge whatever they want. I protected Medicare. I expanded Medicaid. I capped prescription drug prices. I capped insulin at $35 a month. But the other side wants to undo it all. **Second: Workers.** Minnesota has a proud union tradition. The teachers, the nurses, the steelworkers, the Teamsters. You built this state. You make it run. I signed the PRO Act. I protected collective bargaining. I raised the minimum wage. But the other side wants to undo it all. **Third: The cost of living.** You feel it every week. The squeeze. Your rent goes up. Your grocery bill climbs. Your paycheck stays the same. I capped rent increases. I raised the minimum wage. I lowered prescription drug costs. But the other side wants to undo it all. **To the healthcare workers:** You are heroes. I will fight for you. **To the union members:** You built this state. I will fight for you. **To the working families:** The squeeze ends when we stand together. I will fight for you. **To everyone in this room:** Vote like Minnesota depends on it — because it does. Vote like your health depends on it — because it does. Vote like your future depends on it — because it does. I'm Paletuatoa Peniamina. I believe in you. I will fight for you. And together, we will finish what we started. Thank you, Minneapolis. Now let's go save America.
