Katherine Clark: "There is one image that has stuck with me. It's the video of the memorial to Alex Pretti and Renee Good. It is covered with 'I Voted' stickers. Hundreds and hundreds of people went to that memorial and put that sticker there. Each one placed by an American who cast their ballot in the ultimate act of hope."

Local Pittsburgh tv news short interview story with Liz Cheney. These local news spots will make a big difference and they fly under the radar of all the national coverage, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc.
.@Liz_Cheney: “I know, with great confidence that Vice President Harris is somebody who is going to be a president for all Americans…Trump represents somebody who…can't be counted on to defend the rule of law and to defend the Constitution.”
