Kamala Harris campaign speech

Vice President Kamala Harris held her first campaign rally in Wisconsin, drawing a crowd of 3,000 and reinforcing her support for gun control and abortion rights while criticizing Donald Trump. This rally followed President Biden's unexpected exit from the 2024 presidential race and his endorsement of Harris as his successor, which she leveraged to secure enough delegate support to be the presumptive nominee. Harris emphasized the importance of swing states like Wisconsin for the upcoming election, recalling the Democrats' narrow victory in 2020. Despite her strong showing, some Democrats expressed concerns about the rush to support Harris without a primary process. Biden plans to address the nation regarding his decision to step down and the future of the Democratic campaign. The shift in leadership has injected new energy into the race, with Harris aiming to unite the party under bold policy proposals.
