Statement of Iraq War Veteran and Chairman of VoteVets, Jon Soltz, on Vice President Kamala Harris Being Presumptive Nominee, and Her Upcoming VP Choice

“Vice President Harris has been a friend to Veterans and to VoteVets, and we cannot wait to call her our Commander-in-Chief. We fully support her in finishing the political career of the walking, talking national security threat that is Donald Trump.

“We are also greatly heartened to hear that some amazing Veterans may be under consideration for Vice President, including Pete Buttigieg, Tim Walz and Mark Kelly. Any of them would bring so much to the ticket, and help communicate a positive vision in a way that is unique to Veterans. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

“Now is the time for all Democrats to unify and do what so many fought and died for — protecting our democracy and Constitution.”
