Harris has also come out swinging against the Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris is sworn in as US Vice President as her spouse Doug Emhoff holds a bible during the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States on the West Front of the USUS Vice President Kamala Harris has clinched the backing of a majority of delegates required for the Presidential nomination of her party at the Democratic National Convention in August.
“In the days and weeks ahead, I together with you, will do everything in my power to unite our Democratic Party, to unite our nation and to win this election. As many of you know, before I was elected as Vice President, before I was elected United States Senator, I was elected Attorney General. I was a courtroom prosecutor. In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump’s type. And in this campaign, I will proudly put my record against his.
“Together, we fight to build a nation where every person has affordable health care, where every worker is paid fairly and where every senior can retire with dignity. All of this is to say, building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency,” she adds. Trump’s Republican running mate J.D. Vance took a swipe at Harris and incumbent Joe Biden, “You cannot, for three and a half years, take a guy who clearly didn’t have the mental capacity to do the job. Kamala Harris lied about it, my Senate Democratic colleagues lied about it, the media lied about it… and for three years they said nothing until he became political dead weight…. this is an insult to voters.
Part of Harris’ consideration will likely be a running mate who can shore up support for her in key battleground states, like in Arizona or Pennsylvania where recent polling has shown Trump has an edge. Her running mate could matter most in rural, less diverse parts of the country where people show up to the polls.
