In her first campaign rally as the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at her Republican rival and a widely derided Trump-linked platform that provides a blueprint for the next GOP administration.
“Donald Trump wants to take our country backward,” she said in remarks from Milwaukee on Tuesday, just two days after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and endorsed his vice president.
Harris, who secured enough delegate pledges to clinch the Democratic Party’s nomination within a little over 24 hours after announcing her candidacy, linked Trump to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-backed plan for his administration, and one that his campaign is now furiously trying to distance itself from.
“He and his extreme Project 2025 agenda will weaken the middle class. We know we got to take that seriously,” Harris said. ”Can you believe they put that thing in writing? Read it. It’s 900 pages.”
The plan proposes cuts to Social Security and Medicare, tax breaks to corporations that will force “working families to foot the bill” and abolishes the Affordable Care Act, which “will take us back to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions,” Harris said.
She seems to be doing fine, but she needs to watch out for acting giddy like she gets.
She can really act drunk sometimes.
If you think expressing any emotion other than bigoted hate and manufactured outrage = “drunk”, then you’ve been watching too much Fox News. Of course, it’s no surprise that the MAGA crowd just assumes that anytime a woman laughs, she must be drunk.
Keep it classy
Come on man, do we always have to do the blanket denial? I’m voting for her, but she acts goofy as shit sometimes, not just “laughs a lot” or a woman laugh.
Lighten up, we can talk about things here, we’re among friends. Not everything is off limits.
Maybe someone that expresses a little authentic human joy is exactly what the American public needs right now.
And exactly the sort of thing that terrifies sociopaths. That’s why they’re freaking out about it. They so rarely experience joy that they think there’s something wrong with it.
The explosion of support she’s getting says you’re correct.
She’s absolutely killing it, and I think her energy and positivity are a huge part of why.
I was planning on giving an unenthused Biden vote just as a “please not Trump” vote. I’m now planning on an excited and hopeful vote for Kamala!
She represents a much, MUCH needed turn away from the dumpster fire we’ve let our political system become.
How dare a leader be human. I only vote for robots!
You think it’s “goofy as shit”, I think it’s honest and refreshing. It’s nice to see a politician (especially a woman) who can let out a belly-laugh once in awhile.
I didn’t deny anything, and you’re not my friend.
Nice try at deflection, tho, lol
Well you’re still my friend. Let me know if you need to talk about anything, or have a bad day. I’d be happy to just listen.
You don’t really understand the word “no” do you or when people just aren’t that into you?
Creepy
God forbid a politician enjoy life and laugh. I like how human she acts. It’s nice seeing a politician who knows how to enjoy herself
Women just can’t win huh. If they police their emotions and try to be neutral, they come across as removed and unlikeable like Clinton.
If they’re genuine and open about how they feel, they’re giddy and acting like they’re drunk.
Ahhh yes, giddiness–the downfall of many great societies
Remember when Howard Dean “yeeahhhharrrrgfh” ed? In excitement.
Glad we avoided that.
Remember when trump said “bing ding ding ding boom psheen pfoom”? To explain missile tech.
Yeah, somehow Trump gets a pass. We can’t expect that.
Trump gets a pass because his voters don’t care. Harris’s voters shouldn’t care, either.
Caring about dumb shit like that is part of the reason why Democrats have been losing elections.
Unlike every fine upstanding male gentleman politician!
I think that actually works in her favor. She’s got a good energy, and it’s contagious.
