Defining the News
An exuberant Kamala Harris whipped up a rapturous crowd Tuesday at her first rally since effectively clinching the Democratic presidential nomination, as she launched fresh attacks on Donald Trump for trying to “take the country backward.”
“Donald Trump wants to take our country backward,” Harris told the crowd in Milwaukee. “Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion and rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear and hate?” Harris notably focused on abortion, accusing Trump of trying to ban the procedure and saying that “we trust women to make decisions about their own bodies and not have their government tell them what to do.”
Trump, who survived an assassination attempt on July 13, also told reporters he would “absolutely” take part in at least one presidential debate with Harris. Hollywood star George Clooney — who made waves earlier this month as one of the first high-profile Democratic activists to urge Biden to drop his reelection bid — also backed her.
Asked by reporters what he would say as he arrived back, Biden replied: “Watch and listen. Why don’t you wait and hear what I say?”Both he and Harris are due to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week when he visits Washington.
