Kamala Harris critiques Trump, hints at 2026 gubernatorial run

Former Vice President Kamala Harris returned to the political spotlight with a major speech in San Francisco, sharply criticizing President Trump’s actions during his first 100 days in office. At the Emerge gala, Harris accused Trump of abandoning American values, imposing harmful tariffs, and using executive power to create a culture of fear and division. She encouraged Americans to unite against these policies, using the metaphor of elephants protecting the vulnerable during an earthquake to emphasize the importance of solidarity. Harris’s reemergence has fueled speculation about her political future, including possible runs for California governor or another presidential bid. Her speech resonated with Democratic audiences frustrated by Trump’s agenda and highlighted her continued influence within the party. Harris made clear that despite setbacks, she intends to remain a prominent voice in national politics.
