Former Vice President Kamala Harris will make a rare public appearance this week in California, addressing an annual gathering of one of the nation’s largest networks of Democratic women elected officials just one day after President Donald Trump marks his first 100 days in office, CNN has learned. Her Wednesday keynote speech will come at Emerge, an organization that recruits, trains and provides a community to Democratic women who want to run for office. The group says it has seen a burst of interest after Trump was reelected, with nearly 1,000 women inquiring about seeking elected office. “Vice President Harris is the original Emerge woman,” said A’shanti F. Gholar, president and CEO of Emerge, in a statement. “She continues to be a champion for Emerge and an advocate for elevating women in elected office.” The group was born out of Harris’ race for San Francisco district attorney in the early 2000s when her advisers saw a need for a program to train women to run for office. There are now 1,200 Emerge alumnae serving at all levels of government. Other speakers at the organization’s 20th anniversary gala include program alumnae like Rep. Abigail Spanberger who is running to be the governor of Virginia and Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow, running for Senate. Harris made news earlier this month when she spoke at the Leading Women Defined Summit and suggested she did all she could to warn the country about the implications of a second Trump presidency. “There were many things we knew would happen,” Harris said. “I’m not here to say I told you so,” she added before laughing.
