""Kamala Harris Launches Her Campaign for President""

Transcript

In this election, we each face a question.

What kind of country do we want to live in?

There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate.

But us, we choose something different.

We choose freedom.

The freedom not just to get by, but get ahead.

The freedom to be safe from gun violence.

The freedom to make decisions about your own body.

We choose a future where no child lives in poverty, where we can all afford health care, where no one is above the law.

We believe in the promise of America and we're ready to fight for it. Because when we fight, we win.

So join us, go to kamalaharris.com and let's get to work.

2024 Harris Trump
Former president Donald Trump announced his candidacy in November 2022, attempting to become the first president since Grover Cleveland in 1892 to be elected to a non-consecutive second term. President Joe Biden announced his reelection campaign in April 2023. Either would have been the oldest elected president in U.S. history, yet each candidate easily won enough delegates to secure their nominations. However, after a disastrous debate performance against Trump on June 27, 2024, Biden dropped out of the race on July 21—the first time in history that a presumptive nominee withdrew their candidacy. Within an hour after his announcement, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who would be nominated without contest. Against a backdrop of issues including the state of the economy, inflation, ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, abortion rights, and immigration, the 2024 race is inevitably a referendum on Trump, the first major-party candidate since Franklin Roosevelt to be nominated three times in a row, and on the candidacy of Harris, who would become the first woman elected president.

“When We Fight, We Win.”

Vice President Kamala Harris has held elected office since 2002, when she became District Attorney of San Francisco. In 2010, she was elected Attorney General of California, the first woman, African American, and South Asian woman to do so. She was elected U.S. Senator in 2016, following the retirement of California Senator Barbara Boxer. And in 2020, with Joe Biden at the top of the ticket, she was elected Vice President of the United States. Harris’s ads to date have focused on her life story as the embodiment of the American dream; on her role as a prosecutor, in contrast to Donald Trump’s legal struggles; and on support for the economic concerns and rights (including abortion) for middle-class voters, contrasting what she portrays as the extremist positions of the Trump campaign.

“Make America Great Again.”

Donald Trump’s campaign, and his presidency, are unprecedented in many ways. He has secured the loyal support of his followers, despite—or perhaps because of—the disruptive nature of his rhetoric and his frequent courting of controversy. Yet the lines of attack in his campaign ads follow templates set by many previous Republican campaigns, portraying his opponent as being recklessly liberal, and weak on military issues, the handling of the economy, and immigration. Many of the ads play on fear, in a way that was used most successfully in the 1988 George Bush campaign, which had been under the direction of then political consultant Roger Ailes. The campaign is also using a common approach for attacking vice presidents, tying them to the records of the president they have served.
