Vice President Kamala Harris launched her first official campaign event as a presidential candidate today, following President Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 race. "This race is a choice between freedom and chaos," Harris said. Harris has secured enough verbal support from delegates to win the Democratic nomination for president. She used her past as a prosecutor to present a case against former President Donald Trump at the campaign event. "As Attorney General of California, I took on the big Wall Street banks and held them accountable for fraud; Donald Trump was just found guilty of fraud on 34 counts," Harris said. She secured new endorsements from top Democrats and faced pushback from Republicans. "We are here today to throw our support around Vice President Kamala Harris," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Majority Leader. "Vice President Harris has earned the nomination," added Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic Minority Leader. However, Republicans are shifting their focus from Biden to Harris. "She is the co-owner, co-author, co-conspirator in all the policies that got us into the mess," said Rep. Mike Johnson, the Republican House Speaker. Johnson also criticized Harris for leaving town for another scheduled event instead of attending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to a joint meeting of Congress on Wednesday. "You say you want to be the leader of the free world, and yet you can't bring yourself to sit behind our most important and strategic ally," Johnson said.Harris is expected to meet with Netanyahu separately later this week. Meanwhile, Trump says he'll hold his own meeting with the Prime Minister at his Florida estate.
