Kamala Harris delivered a series of attacks on the Trump administration in her speech this evening, ticking through a list of policy complaints that included a sharp focus on economic uncertainty resulting from tariffs, calling it “the greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history.”
“Look, some people are describing what’s been happening in recent months as absolute chaos. And, of course, I understand why. And it’s certainly true of those tariffs — tariffs that, as I predicted, are clearly inviting a recession,” Harris said.
Harris referred to the administration’s rapid policy rollouts as a “high velocity event” that she said represented the culmination of decades of conservative planning and strategizing.
-As she lambasted the Trump administration for attempting to “divide and conquer,” Harris urged Democrats to stay together.
Harris also highlighted several lawmakers across the party’s ideological spectrum who she said have “in different ways have been speaking with moral clarity about this moment.” Harris named Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, Rep. Maxwell Frost of Florida, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
