We begin in the United States, where Vice President Kamala
Harris has kick started her election campaign with just four
months to go.
In our first rally, the Democrat visited Milwaukee, WI, the
same city where the Republican Party held their National Convention
and nominated Donald Trump as the GOP's presidential candidate in
mid-july.
Wisconsin has always been a key battleground state.
In fact, back in 2016, the Republican Party rallying behind
Donald Trump won the state, but lost it just four
years later to President Joe Biden.
In 2020, Kamala Harris was welcomed with chants of Lock
Him Up referring to Donald Trump, an echo of the
Lock her up chants that were prominent at Republican rallies
in 2016 when Donald Trump faced Hillary Clinton.
And the Democrat was quick to embrace our Wisconsin audience.
It's great to be in Milwaukee.
As many of you know, our state campaign headquarters are
in this city S and that there is a reason
for that.
The path to the White House goes through Wisconsin.
Yes it does.
And to win in Wisconsin, we are counting on you
right here in Milwaukee.
And you all helped us win in 2020 and in
2024 we will win again.
Verbally attacking Donald Trump, the receptive nominee accused her opponent
of spreading hate and using his influence to create chaos
in the country.
Moreover, the vice president also drew a contrast between Donald
Trump's election campaign and hers.
As Attorney General of California, I took on one of
our country's largest for profit colleges that was scamming students.
Donald Trump ran a for profit college that scammed students.
As a prosecutor, I specialized in cases involving sexual abuse.
Well, Trump was found liable for committing sexual abuse.
As Attorney General of California, I took on the big
Wall Street banks and held them accountable for fraud.
Donald Trump was just found guilty of fraud on 34
counts.
Meanwhile, more and more senior Democrats are rallying behind the
vice president, with the latest being Senate Majority Leader Chuck
Schumer, who even said that the former US senator would
be the party's presidential nominee.
OK, good afternoon, everybody.
Now, today is a great, great day for the Democratic
Party and the country.
Vice President Harris will soon be our nominee and will
be elected president in November.
We are brimming with excitement, enthusiasm, unity.
Now, a recent Reuters Ipsos poll shows that for the
first time this year, Donald Trump is trailing in the
presidential race.
According to the poll, Kamala Harris leads the former president
44% to 42 after having trailed Donald Trump since January.
Another poll released Tuesday also has Kamala Harris in the
lead over Donald Trump, while other polls have them neck
and neck.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's campaign has filed a complaint against Vice
President Harris, alleging that she violated federal election finance laws
by replacing Joe Biden's name with her own to take
control of the funds raised by the Biden campaign.
Now, it remains unclear whether the complaint will generate traction
with the Federal Election Commission, but it does show that
the Trump campaign is looking for ways to slow down
the growing momentum of the newly elevated candidate who has
quickly shifted the trajectory of the race in our favor
across continents.
