The “Desperate Housewives” star and activist, who joined her home state of Texas’ roll call at the DNC earlier this week, reflected on knowing Harris for over a decade and called on the convention’s attendees to “have each other’s back.”
“In our community, we have a saying: ‘Si, se puede!’ which means — it means, ‘Yes, we can,’” said Longoria of a slogan once used by Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign. “But tonight, I’m here to tell you, ‘Yes, she can,’ so we’re gonna say, ‘She se puede.’”
She continued, “So when someone asks you, ‘Is she ready to lead this country forward?’ We’re gonna say, ‘She se puede!’ When somebody says, ‘Is she qualified for the job?’ We’re gonna say, ‘She se puede!’ When somebody asks, ‘Is she going to be the first female president of the United States?’ We’re gonna say, ‘She se puede!’”
“Thankful for President @JoeBiden’s years of service and commend his brave decision to pass the torch to a new nominee, in the name of democracy and selfless leadership,” she wrote on social media. “I believe in @KamalaHarris and believe in our collective effort to organize and win this! 💪🏽.”
