Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., excoriated President Trump without mentioning him by name during the official launch of her 2020 presidential campaign on Sunday.
Harris, 54, speaking at a rally attended by 20,000 outside Oakland City Hall in her Northern California hometown, told the crowd that her "For the People" tag line was more than a campaign slogan. Instead, the one-term senator said it was the "guide" to her life's work as a lawyer, San Francisco's district attorney, the state's attorney general, and potentially as the country's next commander in chief.
"We are here because the American Dream and our American democracy are under attack and on the line like never before. And we are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question: Who are we, who are we as Americans?" she said. "So, let’s answer that question to the world. To each other. Right here. Right now. America, we are better than this."
