Kamala Harris expressed her gratitude to the Democratic Party and her supporters. She thanked Jamie Harrison for the announcement and shared her excitement for the future.
Harris acknowledged that her campaign, described as “people-powered,” would not have reached this point without the support and trust of her party. She emphasized the dedication of the party’s delegates, state leaders, and staff, saying, “Their dedication cannot be overstated.”
Harris also highlighted their shared love for the country and belief in America’s promise. She noted that they will gather in Chicago soon to commemorate this significant occasion.
Campaign Dynamics and Trump Debate
Harris’s campaign has recently targeted former President Donald Trump. The campaign accused Trump of being “too scared to debate” Harris after he questioned the necessity of participating in a debate. In an interview with Fox Business, Trump dismissed the idea of debating Harris, saying, “Oh, Trump’s you know, not doing the debate.” He further commented that he is leading in the polls and did not see the need for a debate.
In response, Cedric Richmond, co-chair of the Harris campaign, mocked Trump’s reluctance. Richmond said, “Since he talks the talk, he should walk the walk.” He also challenged Trump to face Harris on September 10, as previously mentioned by Harris. Richmond urged Trump to show up for the debate if he was serious about his statements.
