Kamala Harris intends to win
With a determined tone, Harris declared her intention to not only secure the nomination but also to emerge victorious. "I intend to go out and earn this nomination and to win," she asserted, following a heartfelt acknowledgment of Biden's leadership, which she described as "bold and visionary."
President Biden, who had recently announced his decision to step down from the race, addressed the campaign staff shortly before Harris took the stage. Despite his departure from the ticket, Biden made it clear that his commitment to the cause remained unwavering. "I want you to know, I won't be on a ticket, but I'm still going to be fully, fully engaged," he emphasized, highlighting his determination to achieve as much as possible in the remaining six months of his presidency, both in foreign and domestic policy.
Reiterating his support, Biden promised, "I will always have your back," underscoring his enduring presence and support for the campaign.
Taking the baton from Biden, Harris launched a robust attack on former President Trump, framing the election as a battle between a prosecutor and a criminal. Drawing on her experience as California's Attorney General and a courtroom prosecutor, Harris declared, "I know Donald Trump's type," vowing to contrast her record with his.
"When We Fight, We Win"
However, Harris went beyond the narrative of a simple contest against Trump, emphasizing the broader vision for the country's future. "This campaign is not just about us versus Donald Trump," she explained. "Our campaign has always been about two different versions of what we see as the future of the country... one focused on the future, the other focused on the past."
Harris concluded her impassioned speech by rallying her team, confident in their ability to secure a win in November. "When we fight, we win!" she exclaimed, setting the tone for a campaign that promises to be both fierce and forward-looking.
As the election season heats up, Vice President Harris's declaration of intent signals a new chapter in the political landscape, with the promise of a dynamic and determined leadership at the forefront.
