Kamala Harris fell under the spotlight with a criticizing Trump speech as he celebrates his first 100 days

Former vice -president Kamala Harris, who has largely remained away from political projectors since his departure from the post, brutally criticized President Donald Trump – his opponent during the 2024 presidential election – on prices, government cuts and the direction that his administration takes the country, during the remarks on Wednesday in San Francisco.

His remarks, delivered during the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Emerge, an organization that supports democratic women who present themselves to its functions, came while the Trump administration celebrates its achievements in its first 100 days – a date that Harris recognized.

“Now, I know that this evening event coincides with 100 days after the inauguration, and I will leave to others to give full accounting of what has happened so far,” Harris told the public.

“But I would say this, instead of an administration working to advance the highest ideals in America, we are witnessing the wholesale of these ideals,” she said.

Harris had few public appearances since the start of the White House and limited her political activity, but Wednesday evening she called Trump by name.

“We all know President Trump, his administration and their allies are counting on the idea that fear can be contagious. They count on the idea that, if they can scare certain people, it will have a scary effect on others,” said Harris.

“But what they neglect, what they have neglected is that fear is not the only thing that is contagious. Courage is contagious,” Harris told Raucous Cheers.

Harris had mentioned similar themes – including the line “Courage is contagious” – during remarks during a summit of women of women in color in early April.

This courage, added Harris on Wednesday, extends to the Americans Protestant against what she called “the greatest artificial economic crisis in modern presidential history”.

“The Americans through the political spectrum which declares that the imprudent prices of the president hurt the workers and the families by increasing the cost of the essential elements of everyday; devastating the retirement accounts that people have spent a life to pay; and paralyzing American, important forients, which obliges them to dismiss people, to stop hiring, or in pause of investment decisions”. declared.

Trump and the White House have argued that the prices will help Americans be better on the long-term economic level and will level the rules of the game between the United States and its business partners.

Later in her remarks, speaking more broadly about the actions of the White House, Harris said that she would describe the current moment in America as a “high -speed event” to implement a program which, according to her, was “decades of realization” to shrink and privatize the government while giving tax breaks to the rich.

“It is an agenda, a narrow selfish vision of America, where they punish the sponsors of truth, favor the loyalists, take advantage of their power and each leave to fend for themselves, while abandoning the allies and withdrawing from the world,” said Harris. “And people, what we are experiencing right now is exactly what they are planning for America.”

The Americans should be ready, if “checks and counterweights” such as the congress “finally collapsed,” said Harris, to work together and raise their voice.

“I am not here this evening to offer all the answers, but I am here to say this, you are not alone, and we are all in the same role – and direct speeches, things will probably get worse before they improve, but we are ready for it. We will not disperse. We will stay together, everyone a leader,” said Harris.

At the end of his remarks, Harris struck a populist note: “Remember that this country is ours. It does not belong to anyone is at the White House. It belongs to you. It belongs to us. It belongs to us the people.”

The former Democratic candidate for the presidency had few public appearances since the departure of the White House and has limited his political activity.

Harris’ speech came when she should possibly enter politics in the coming months. Harris thought about a race in the race for the Governor of California and will make a decision by the end of the summer, two sources familiar with ABC News said in March.

Some Democrats also launched it as a potential presidential candidate in 2028, although some of her long -standing supporters told ABC News that they were torn apart on this perspective.

Whether for an office or not, Harris’ public remarks so far have sometimes included veiled and explicit scales on the Trump administration and the president himself.

In remarks at a summit of women of women in color in early April, she weighed on the second Trump administration, saying that “there is a feeling of fear that has taken root in our country” but this “courage is also contagious”.

And in the remarks of the NAACP Image Awards in February, Harris framed the “chapter” that America is as the one who “will be written not simply by anyone occupies the oval office or by the richest of us. American history will be written by you. Written by us. By us, people.”

Harris and his spouse, Doug Emhoff, were the target of Trump’s recent actions.

Trump published a memo in March which revoked security authorizations and access to classified information from his previous opponents of the presidential election – Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris – as well as more than a dozen former administration officials. Emhoff said on Tuesday that he had been dismissed from the board of directors of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum while the White House confirmed that it had deleted the members of the board of directors.
