Harris Just Showed Why Trump Is So Afraid of Her

Bloomberg

There is a reason former President Donald Trump is still pining for President Joe Biden, even to the point of asking for a refund — and it was on brilliant display Tuesday afternoon in a high school gymnasium in a Milwaukee suburb.

In her first official appearance as the presumptive Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris electrified a crowd of 3,000 with a rousing speech. Biden couldn’t get that kind of crowd, nor could he provide the vision of youth, energy and optimism that Harris is giving a part of the country that is desperate to move past the era of old men.
Even before she strode on to the stage, it was clear Harris was ready for this moment. As she descended the steps of Air Force Two to greet state officials, she looked every bit like a woman who could lead the free world. As the kids like to say, it hits different now.
