In her first major speech as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Donald Trump’s big money donors and promised that her campaign would be instead powered by the people.
Addressing the assembled crowd in a Milwaukee suburb, Harris warned that Trump would do the “bidding” of “Big Oil companies” in exchange for donations and promised her campaign and administration would be different.
“On the other hand, we are running a people-powered campaign,” she said to a round of applause. “And we just had — some breaking news: We just had the best 24 hours — of grassroot fundraising in presidential campaign history.” USAToday reported that Harris nabbed $126 million in three days.
“And because we are a people-powered campaign, that is how you know we will be a people-first presidency,” she added.
