Washington. Vice President Kamala Harris held her first fundraising event since becoming the Democrats’ presumptive nominee for the White House yesterday in Massachusetts, where she expects to raise more than $1.4 million.
Harris attacked Republican candidate Donald Trump, whom she accused of being determined to roll back Americans’ freedoms.
She told her supporters that she entered the race as the candidate lagging behindbut expressed confidence in defeating Trump. I will fight to move our nation forwardHarris said.
Among those in attendance at the Colonial Theatre were musician James Taylor, cellist Yoyo Ma, as well as many of the state’s Democratic heavyweights, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, former Gov. Deval Patrick and Rep. Richie Neal.
Harris received more than $100 million in donations in the first 48 hours after Biden dropped out of the race, a milestone for a presidential candidate, and her advisers said she has continued to raise money.
The former prosecutor in her home state of California mocked Trump for his legal troubles. She noted that he was recently convicted of 34 counts of fraud in New York, that a jury found him responsible for sexually assaulting columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996, and that he was forced to pay $25 million to settle class-action lawsuits by those who attended the now-defunct Trump University real estate seminar.
I’ve dealt with people like him throughout my career.Harris said. He added: So in this campaign, and I say this in all seriousness, I will proudly compare my record to yours any day now..
Harris’ popularity is growing among young people, with memes spreading on social media, after a metaphor about coconuts and coconut trees used by the vice president in a speech led to the fruit becoming a symbol that distinguishes her.
Last year, in a speech on equal opportunities in education at the White House, Harris, 59, told an anecdote. “My mother was sometimes a little strict with us and she would say, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with young people. Do they think they just fell out of a coconut tree?’” she said, bursting into laughter. You exist in the context of everything you live and what came before you.The comment left attendees speechless because it was completely unrelated to the topic, but since then, jokes and jokes have gone viral on the Internet to identify Harris.
Donald Trump assured American Christian voters on Friday that They will not have to vote again for four years. if he wins the presidential election in November. He made this statement during a speech in Florida, CNN reported, in which he called for a massive vote in the November 5 election, stating that it would only be necessary to do so once.
Christians, go out and vote! Just this once. You won’t have to do it again. In four more years, you know what? It will be all right. It will be all right. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.said.
Following these statements, Harris’ campaign team accused Trump of trying to abolish democracy if he returns to the White House.
Trump continued his campaign rally last night in St. Cloud, Minnesota, with his running mate, JD Vance, in front of 5,000 people. Before that, he gave a conference on Bitcoin in Nashville, Tennessee, where he said that if he wins the presidency, he would fully embrace the use of cryptocurrencies.
He also announced that he will return to Butler, Pennsylvania, where he survived an assassination attempt on July 13, to hold a ceremony in honor of his supporter Corey Comperatore, a firefighter who died during the incident. He said he would continue to hold outdoor rallies, ignoring the advice of the Secret Service.
