Former Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a powerful speech on Wednesday evening at Emerge America’s 20th Anniversary Gala. Addressing a room filled with political changemakers, Harris didn’t hold back as she reflected on the early days of the Trump administration. She highlighted key actions taken within the first 100 days—including controversial tariffs, aggressive immigration policies, and mass deportations. Her remarks struck a serious tone as she laid out the stakes for the upcoming election cycle and the urgent need for political accountability.
In her speech, Harris said, “The American people deserve leaders who will make their lives better,” adding, “but, sadly, we have seen quite the opposite.” Despite the subject, Harris also delivered a message of resilience and determination. Acknowledging that the path forward may be challenging, she assured the audience that real change often comes after discomfort and resistance.
According to AP News, Emerge America, the organization behind the event, is dedicated to recruiting and training Democratic women to run for office, a mission closely aligned with Harris’s call to action.
