2024 Presidential Election Updates: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump Continue Campaign Blitz

2024 Presidential Election Updates: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump Continue Campaign Blitz

Vice President Kamala Harris vowed during a speech in Reno, Nevada, on Tuesday that “nothing in the world” would stop her from fighting for Americans.

She spoke about her work as a prosecutor in the neighboring state of California, saying: “A lot of people here know that I’m not afraid of a tough fight.”

“And I pledge to you that if you give me the opportunity to fight on your behalf as president, nothing in the world will stop me from fighting for you,” Harris added. “For the people.”

During her first campaign rally in northern Nevada, she also criticized former President Donald Trump’s comments about protecting women.

“He said that on the issue of freedom of choice, reproductive freedom, he said that he will do what he wants because, I quote, he – this is his point of view – he will do it, ‘whether women like it or not.’ “Whether women like it or not,” Harris said. “Can you imagine?”

“He doesn’t believe women should have power or agency over their bodies. This is the same person who said women should be punished for their choices,” she said, repeating remarks she made during campaign stops throughout the day. “This is someone who simply doesn’t respect women’s freedom or women’s ability to make decisions about their lives.”

She ended the rally with a line she’s used for the past few days, telling those in the crowd that “in less than 90 days, either he or I will be sitting in the Oval Office,” explaining that while Trump is in that office, the room with list of enemies, she’s ready to go in with a to-do list.

Although Harris’ remarks were interrupted several times by protesters, she addressed them by saying, “We are here because we fight for democracy.”

She said it was “good” and “good” for them to protest the event because “we are fighting for the right to be heard and not go to jail for speaking our minds.”

“We know what’s at stake,” Harris assured.
