Vice President Kamala Harris gave the public its first real look into her nascent presidential campaign with a stop at her organization’s headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday night.

Harris’ first applause line came when she discussed her background as California attorney general and as a courtroom prosecutor.

“In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds,” she said, earning cackles while she beamed, clearly enjoying the joke. “Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.”

    I want that debate between her and poor Donnie. This woman ia going to roast the shit out of him with her professional experience.

      That’s what’s needed. The older boomer republicans (not die hard MAGA’s, there’s a lot more of the at least rational ones out there) need to see her wipe the floor with him with facts and tough questions he outright lies to, to have a chance of changing their vote.

        With respect, anyone who would vote for Trump probably isn’t worth spending time convincing. Some of them might come around, but if she has one, Kamala’s value will be in getting undecided and first time voters to the polls. One of the most popular choices every election is “not going to vote”

      I remember people saying the same thing about Clinton leading up to their debates. At least Harris has a few more years of criming to draw on.

        HRC was a genuinely awful debater and she still arguably won all debates against 2016 Trump. Harris is a great debater and she is up against 2024-Trump. He’s no match.

            She was a career prosecutor. Her bread and butter was tearing people open for others to see. No idea where your doubt is coming from.

              I guess we’ll find out but I don’t think she’s going to publicly humiliate Trump like some people here seem to.

                We’ve seen already he doesn’t have the software to feel humiliation. I think we’ll see him get so angry he becomes kind of incoherent, but even that’s barely a stretch.
