Vice President Kamala Harris hit out at ‘extremist’ Republicans as she opened the annual NAACP conference
BOSTON, July 29 - Vice President Kamala Harris has shown a punchy side during a tour of nearly a dozen U.S. states in recent weeks,Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for backing "revisionist history" about slavery, telling Iowa healthcare workers to rebel against the state's new restrictive abortion laws and rallying Latinos in Chicago to fight "extremist" Republicans.
The high-profile appearances are part of an expanded role for U.S. President Joe Biden's much-scrutinized governing partner ahead of the election, senior Democrats say. She'll engage in many more campaign-style events in months to come, designed to reacquaint Harris with supporters, burnish her image with independents and reach out to Democrats' who haven't been hearing the Biden administration's message.
“Let’s start registering folks now to vote,” she said. “Remind your friends and your neighbors to do that.” Voters wary of the president's advanced age of 80 are expected to take a much harder look at the vice president. Some Republicans are already suggesting Harris could run the country if Biden wins in 2024.
