Kamala Harris uses first campaign event to sharply criticize Trump and Vance

Vice President Kamala Harris found clear words for the statements of Donald Trump and his candidate JD Vance at her first fundraiser since President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race. Harris described their remarks as "strange," adopting an attack strategy that has gained importance among Democrats since her rise. The event took place on Saturday in a theater in picturesque Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where Harris was introduced by singer James Taylor. Her speech was met with loud applause and cheers from the approximately 800 supporters in the audience. According to the Harris campaign, the event was expected to raise over $1.4 million – a remarkable success for the Vice President.
