Donald Trump wants to take our country backwards to a time before many of our fellow Americans had full freedoms and rights, but we believe in a brighter future that makes room for all Americans. We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but get ahead. We believe in a future where no child has to grow up in poverty, where every person can buy a home, start a family, and build wealth—and where every person has access to paid family leave and affordable child care. We will build a nation where everyone has affordable health care, and every senior can retire with dignity. Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.
