The vice president's ascension to the Democrat candidacy has brought in $151 million in donations.
A roaring crowd of battleground state voters greeted Vice President Kamala Harris overnight as she opened her Democratic political case against Republican former President Donald Trump."In this campaign, I promise you, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week," Harris said."We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead.
The visit comes a week after the Republican National Convention wrapped up in the city and as Harris works to sharpen her message against the GOP nominee with just over 100 days until Election Day. Harris poses for a selfie with Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez and Senator Tammy Baldwin. "I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type," she said.Harris also cast her campaign as "people first," again aiming to draw a contrast with Trump who she said represented special interests and corporations.
Tevin Humphrey, 21, came with his mother Myeesha Johnson, 41, and described the vice president as "a great figure to look up to."Trump and his campaign have quickly turned most of their focus on Harris and have asserted that they were prepared for the change and it did not alter their plans. Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, said he was unimpressed by Trump's attacks, telling reporters Tuesday, "That's all he's got?"
