Kamala Harris is set to deliver her first significant public address since her defeat to Donald Trump during the Emerge 20th Anniversary Gala in San Francisco. Since leaving her role as vice president in January, Harris has minimized her public presence and refrained from directly criticizing Trump, unlike many Democrats. However, her upcoming speech is expected to focus on Trump’s policies and their shortcomings.
Harris, who briefly replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic frontrunner just weeks before the election, energized the party during her campaign, achieving remarkable fundraising and drawing large crowds. Despite her efforts, discontent among voters seeking significant change ultimately led to her loss against Trump, who benefited from a belief that his presidency would bolster the economy. In reality, his policies have created market instability and raised concerns about a trade war, with a significant portion of the public expressing dissatisfaction with his governance.
Recent polls reflect this disapproval, revealing that 55% of adults critique Trump’s performance, with approval ratings hovering around 40%. A former adviser suggests that the timing of Harris’s address is crucial, given the shifting voter sentiments. While she has not confirmed her future political aspirations, including a potential run for governor of California, Harris’s message aims to galvanize her audience by addressing the fear permeating society due to Trump’s actions and the response from various organizations.
At a recent summit, Harris emphasized the need for courage in the face of fear, a theme she is expected to expand upon in her gala speech, highlighting those who resist Trump’s authority. Her return to the political arena could signal a pivotal moment for her re-engagement with the public and the Democratic Party.
