US Vice President Kamala Harris spoke about the challenges of defeating Donald Trump in November, expressing confidence that her presidential campaign would overcome the false claims made by her Republican opponent. She addressed a fundraising event in Massachusetts with special guests like James Taylor and Yoyo Ma, while Trump attended a bitcoin conference in Tennessee.
Despite being considered underdogs, Harris stressed that their campaign was fueled by the people. She also criticized Trump’s baseless attacks and described them as “wild lies” and “weird.”
Trump’s recent accusations against Harris included false claims about her views on Jewish people and infanticide. He also falsely alleged that she supported executing newborn babies.
As the oldest major-party nominee in history, Trump is working to shift the focus of the campaign against his much younger opponent. Harris, aiming to become the first female president, is quickly building her campaign against a president who has been in campaign mode since taking office.
Harris has seen early momentum in her late-starting White House bid, with polls showing a close race. She has gained support from prominent Democrats, including Biden and the Obamas.
Supporters like Torianna Parrish welcomed Harris at the airport, expressing their hope for positive change in the country. Harris was introduced at an event by James Taylor, who praised her and the moment she represents.
