Harris holds first fundraiser as presumptive Democratic nominee: "We are the underdogs in this race"

Pittsfield, Massachusetts — Vice President Kamala Harris attended her first major fundraiser Saturday since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. 

Speaking to more than 800 attendees in Pittsfield, Massachusetts — mostly composed of Democratic donors — Harris made her campaign pitch and defended her record to that of her rival, former President Donald Trump. 

"As attorney general, I took on one of our country's largest for-profit colleges that was scamming students," Harris told the fundraiser's attendees. "Well, Donald Trump ran a for-profit college that scammed students," referencing the now defunct Trump University. In 2016, Trump agreed to pay $25 million to settle several civil lawsuits brought by former students.
