Gen Z voters largely optimistic about Harris but say she needs to prove herself on the campaign trail
NBCJUL 14 2024
US VP Kamala Harris on Tuesday — two days after Pres. Joe Biden announced he wouldn't continue to seek reelection — used her first campaign rally to go on the offensive against her Republican opponent, former Pres. Donald Trump, saying she would put her "record against his any day of the week."
Harris, speaking to a crowd of about 3K people in Wisconsin, also recounted her days as the attorney general of California, prosecuting "perpetrators of all kinds," including "fraudsters," "cheaters," and "predators." She said, "hear me again when I say I know Donald Trump's type."
Meanwhile, Trump on Tuesday issued several social media posts, including one criticizing Fox News for giving airtime to Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and another claiming the Biden/Harris administration didn't "protect" him prior to the July 13 attempt on his life.
