US Vice President Kamala Harris clinches majority of delegates ahead of Democratic National Convention next month.
United States Vice President Kamala Harris has pledged to take the fight to Donald Trump as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, invoking her former career as a prosecutor who took on “predators” and “fraudsters”.
Rallying supporters in her first campaign appearance since her boss Joe Biden’s exit from the presidential race, Harris said on Monday that she had taken on “perpetrators of all kinds” while serving as a prosecutor and attorney general in her home state of California.
“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,” Harris told campaign staff in Wilmington, Delaware.
Harris, 59, previously leaned on her record as a prosecutor during her unsuccessful run during the 2020 Democratic primaries, which featured the slogan, “Kamala Harris, for the people.”
Since then, Republican presidential nominee Trump has been convicted of falsifying business records, found civilly liable for sexually abusing a magazine columnist and indicted in two criminal cases related to efforts to overturn the result of the 2020 election.
