Kamala Harris Criticizes Trump at First Campaign Rally
Kamala Harris, the Vice-President of the US, attacked Donald Trump in her first rally for her White House campaign. She presented the upcoming election as a choice between her, a former prosecutor, and Trump, who has been convicted of crimes.
At the rally in Wisconsin, Harris compared Trump to the criminals she prosecuted. Trump, on the other hand, criticized her record on border issues and called her names on social media.
Harris recently gained support from most Democratic delegates, making her the likely nominee for her party. President Joe Biden endorsed her after dropping out of the race due to pressure from top Democrats and donors. Following Biden’s exit, Harris’s campaign raised over $100 million in just 36 hours. A new poll shows her slightly ahead of Trump.
At the rally, Harris spoke about her experience as California’s attorney general and promised to put her record against Trump’s. The crowd was enthusiastic, contrasting with Biden’s events, and chanted support for her while calling for Trump to be jailed.
Trump attacked Harris on his social media platform, calling her the most unpopular vice-president in US history and labeling her as a radical leftist. Harris outlined her liberal priorities, including gun control, abortion access, and healthcare, and framed the election as a choice between a compassionate country and one filled with chaos and hate.
Trump’s campaign is focusing on Harris’s record on immigration, crime, and inflation. Meanwhile, Harris continues to gain endorsements from Democratic leaders and Hollywood stars, boosting her campaign. She is currently selecting a running mate for her campaign.
President Biden will explain his decision to withdraw from the race in a speech. Despite the political drama, most Democratic lawmakers support Harris, and she is pushing forward with her campaign.
