\u201cHarrison shared examples of the differences between the two candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018The stark difference is one person is actually speaking to the future of this country and who we can become. The other wants to live in the past.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Under the Trump administration most of all of the PPP loans went to big banks; it did not go to the community banks,\u2019 Harrison said. \u2018Small Black barber shops, beauticians, grocery stores needed loans but didn\u2019t get them until Joe Biden got in the White House and Democrats had control of the House and Senate. From the PPP loans under Trump, there were 1700 loans for small Black businesses $592 million, under Biden 4781 loans, $1.4 billion. Also, child poverty was cut in half the first year of the Biden Administration because of the tax child credit.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018They want to dictate every part of our lives so that we fall in line and we don\u2019t question their motives,\u2019 Harrison said of Republicans. \u2018Their values are not American values, because American values always boil down to one word: hope.
