Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a keynote address at the American Federation of Teachers convention, where she took the opportunity to criticize former President Trump and the Republican party. Harris emphasized the importance of choosing a vision for the future over dwelling on the past.
During her speech, Harris condemned Project 2025, a group that Trump has distanced himself from, accusing them of advocating for regressive economic policies and cuts to essential social programs like Medicare and Social Security. She also highlighted their alleged intentions to eliminate the Department of Education.
Harris drew a sharp contrast between her campaign and that of Trump and the Republicans, stating that while she aims to address pressing issues like gun control and education, her opponents are focused on divisive measures such as banning books.
In her closing remarks, Harris expressed confidence in her campaign's direction and readiness to face any challenges that may arise.
