Harris makes first trip to battleground Wisconsin since launching presidential campaign
CNN
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to visit Wisconsin on Tuesday, making her first trip to a battleground state after taking control of the Democratic presidential nomination to challenge Donald Trump.
Vice President Kamala Harris, in the first rally of her 2024 presidential campaign, told supporters in Wisconsin Tuesday that she will spend the coming weeks “continuing to unite our party” ahead of the Democratic National Convention next month and this fall’s showdown with Donald Trump. Harris’ rally in Milwaukee featured a stump speech similar to the one she has delivered on the campaign trail for months — one that drew the sort of sharp contrasts with Trump that President Joe Biden had long struggled to articulate before he dropped out of the 2024 race on Sunday. However, it came with much more attention now that Harris is the Democratic standard-bearer. Speaking about her record as a prosecutor in California, Harris said she “took on perpetrators of all kinds: Predators who abused women; fraudsters who ripped off consumers; cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain.” “So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type,” she said. Her quip was met with chants in the packed high school gymnasium of “lock him up” — an echo of the “lock her up” chants that were prominent at Trump rallies in 2016, when he faced Hillary Clinton.
