My statement on the ceasefire in the Middle East.

Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris
October 13, 2025

I am thankful and deeply encouraged that this ceasefire has brought long-awaited moments of joy and reunion — as 20 Israeli hostages are finally reunited with their loved ones and Palestinian families and the people of Gaza begin to receive desperately needed relief from unimaginable suffering.

Through diplomacy and persistence, today is an important first step toward a more hopeful future. I commend the leaders and partners whose efforts made this agreement possible, including the President and his team.

There is still much more work to do to secure a lasting peace, ensure the safety and dignity of every innocent life, and build a future where Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in freedom and security.

Up at 1:07 AM thinking about the amazing experience I had at the 107 Days book tour in Houston last Saturday. I’m still in awe of the unforgettable memories I’ll hold dear to my heart — from Kamala acknowledging me to receiving her signed book. I’ve been high off life all week.

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

Kamala Harris @kamalaharris.com · 13d

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising.

Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown
