Next on the agenda, Kamala Harris addressed the crowd at her first rally for the presidential campaign, sharing her insight on Donald Trump based on her previous profession as a prosecutor. The event, which was planned before Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race, took place in the crucial swing state of Wisconsin.
Since then, Harris has emerged as the top contender for the Democratic nomination, with the upcoming election just a few months away. During her speech, she made it clear that she has a specific approach in mind when it comes to dealing with Trump, who is currently favored by bookies to win in November.
Harris reminded the audience of her experience as a prosecutor, both as the attorney general of California and in the courtroom. She emphasized her determination to hold those who break the law accountable, including predators, fraudsters, and cheaters. Harris boldly stated, "I know Donald Trump's type," much to the excitement of the crowd.
The senator's speech laid the foundation for her campaign, which will highlight her background in law enforcement and contrast it with Trump's status as the first former president to be convicted of a crime. Harris also drew attention to Trump's history of sexual abuse, stating, "As a prosecutor, I specialized in cases involving sexual abuse. Well, Trump was found liable for committing sexual abuse."
This morning, Harris officially secured the required number of delegates to become the Democratic nominee, with less than three and a half months until the election. She also received endorsements from two influential Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
However, some members of the party, including former President Barack Obama, still believe in a competitive process to determine the running mate. This would help address concerns that Harris was chosen solely by political elites. Although it may seem unlikely for anyone to overtake her current momentum, the conversation has shifted to who Harris will select as her vice president.
The top candidates for the position are predominantly white men, a strategic move to broaden Harris's appeal as the first female president, first Black woman president, and first president of South Asian descent. Sources mention Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly as the frontrunners, but Harris may wait until closer to the Democratic National Convention next month to announce her decision.
