Kamala Harris plans critical address on Trump in San Francisco

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is set to deliver her first major public address since leaving office, using the keynote at Emerge America's 20th anniversary gala in San Francisco to offer a pointed critique of President Donald Trump and his administration. Harris is expected to challenge Trump’s economic policies and highlight what she describes as escalating threats to American institutions and global leadership. She will also emphasize the importance of political courage, building on her theme that 'courage is contagious,' and celebrate Emerge’s role in empowering Democratic women candidates. The speech marks Harris’s most extensive remarks since her election loss and signals a gradual return to the public arena as speculation mounts about her potential run for California governor in 2026. Harris’s message aims to energize Democratic supporters and call for action in response to the current administration’s policies. Her address coincides with Trump marking his first 100 days of his second term in office.
