Kamala Harris gave her first big speech back in the political spotlight in California last night as she heads into the running for governor of that great failed state. During her brief, 15-minute speech at a gala dinner for the non-profit Emerge, she leaned into the "constitutional crisis" she said is underway under Trump. She praised the Democrat leaders that she believes are the future of the party.
Cory Booker, Chris Van Hollen, Chris Murphy, Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, AOC, and Bernie Sanders were the names Harris mentioned, saying that these were leaders with courage and endurance.
She began her remarks by saying that the American Dream has been "slipping out of reach for so many," ignoring her own record, and complaining that America has not "fully lived up to" its founding ideals. Trump, she said, has undertaken a "wholesale abandonment of those ideals."
