Kamala Harris Offers A Preview Of The Campaign To Come

Kamala Harris has not been declared as the presidential candidate by the Democratic party. However, several Democrats have rallied behind her

US Vice President Kamala Harris addressed her presidential campaign staff at Wilmington headquarters for the first time on Monday (local time) and laid out the case against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, offering a preview of the campaign to come, CNN reported.

Addressing hundreds of staff at campaign headquarters and many attending virtually from battleground states, Harris said, “I took on perpetrators of all kinds,” as she was greeted with loud cheers from the crowd.

She said, “Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own game. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump’s type.”

Kamala Harris said she will “proudly” put her record against Trump’s. She recalled her days as a prosecutor in the Alameda County District Attorney’s office in California, CNN reported.

She said, “As a young prosecutor when I was in the Alameda County District Attorney’s office in California, I specialized in cases involving sexual abuse. Donald Trump was found liable by a jury for committing sexual abuse. As attorney general of California, I took on one of our country’s largest for-profit colleges and put it out of business. Donald Trump ran a for-profit college, Trump University, that was forced to pay USD 25 million to the students it scammed.”

She also talked about her record on climate change, Big Oil and Wall Street. She stated that her campaign is not just about her versus the Republican candidate.

She further said, “There is more to this campaign than that. Our campaign has always been two different versions of what we see as the future of our country. Two different visions for the future of our country. One focused on the future — the other focused on the past.”

Kamala Harris has not been declared as the presidential candidate by the Democratic party. However, several Democrats have rallied behind her after she was endorsed by US President Joe Biden, who was on the call listening to her as she addressed the campaign staff, according to CNN report.

She said, “Doug and I wanted to stop by today to thank everybody and to express just what we know to be true: Y’all have been working so hard. The people in this office have been working so hard and you have given so much of yourselves – long days and nights. And you’re giving yourselves to our country because you love our country and you love Joe and you love me and we know that.”
