San Francisco (AP)-the former Vice President Kamala Harris used a top-class speech on Wednesday to sharply criticize President Donald Trump because they will exploit another presidential campaign or choose the Californian governor.
In her most extensive public comments since the office in January after her defeat against Trump, Harris said that she was inspired by the Americans who are fighting against Trump’s agenda, although she threatens her freedom or a living.
“Instead of an administration that promotes the highest ideals, we experience wholesale to give up these ideals,” said Harris a day after Trump had reached 100 days in office.
Before Wednesday, Harris Trump had hardly mentioned by name since she admitted a defeat in November.
In a 15-minute speech, she spoke to the fear and confusion that many of her followers have gripped many of her supporters since taking office, but discouraged the despair.
“You count on the idea that if you can be afraid of some people, you will have a fear of others. But what you have overlooked is that fear is not the only thing that is contagious,” said Harris. “Courage is contagious.”
Trump went Harris in a campaign rally rally after Tuesday, which made his 100th day in office. He called her sarcastically a “great border tender” and a “great candidate” and repeated some of the applause lines that he routinely delivered during the campaign.
Until Harris replaced Joe Biden on the democratic ticket last summer, Trump said: “I didn’t know anything about her.”
Harris warned the Americans to see Trump’s administration as only messy and instead to consider them as a “high -speed event”, the highlight of extensive work on the right to redesign the government.
“A ship is used for the quick implementation of an agenda that has been produced for decades,” said Harris. “A agenda to reduce public education. A agenda to reduce the government and then privatize its services.
Harris chose a amiable audience for her return to the political arena and turned with the gala of the 20th anniversary for Emerge America, an organization that recruits and trained democratic women to run for an office. In the early 2000s it was partly won by Harris’ Run for San Francisco district prosecutor.
We were talked about under shining chandeliers in a gold -moved ballroom in the Landmark Palace Hotel.
Harris is looking for her public presence as a democrat nationally for a way after the election in November, in which the Republicans also gained control of the congress. While a number of top-class Democrat von governors are aiming for leadership roles up to business people in the party, the former Vice President keeps a unique influence and would redesign any future breed into which they take part.
She praised Democrats, who were particularly productive to criticize Trump, and especially dropping legislators in her ideology and style: Sens. Cory Booker, Chris van Hollen, Chris Murphy and Bernie Sanders together with Reps. Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
But she did not appear in one of the central differences in her party, neither the mass mobilization such as the Illinois governor JB Pritzker nor democratic positioning in essential topics such as California governor Gavin News.
“I’m not here tonight to offer all the answers,” said Harris. “But I’m here to say that: You are not alone and we are all together.”
But she warned that things will probably get worse before getting better.
“The only review, the only balance, the only force that must not fail, is the voice of the people,” she said.
Harris, a former Attorney General and US Senator from California, has not discouraged speculation that she could replace the race for the term newsoma, even a potential contender to president. And it has not excluded any further run for the White House.
She didn’t talk about her future on Wednesday.
She continues to collect donations with a common committee that Harris includes for president, the democratic national committee and the democratic parties. The committee, the Harris Victory Fund, reported, according to federal documents at the end of March at the end of March.
In recent donations -E emails, Harris was stumped about the need that Democrats had to unite before the intermediate elections in 2026.
Democrats have to “stop Trump’s agenda while choosing democrats everywhere,” she wrote in the last e -mails. “There has never been a more important time for a strong democratic party – one who is ready to Donald Trump, Elon Musk and what they have to do with this country.”
The event marks a kind of return home. Harris lives in Los Angeles, but she comes from the San Francisco Bay Area, where her political career is rooted. For her first big speech since the election, she chose family crowd in a way a familiar area and a amiable amount.
Lisa Gotbhi, a manager in the healthcare system in San Francisco, said Harris’ loss last year was a “shock”, but “she is a voice that we need and a guide we need. Let us return to fight.”
