Harris Rebukes Trump, Warns of Looming Crisis

Former Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her first major public address since leaving office at the Emerge America gala in San Francisco, forcefully criticizing President Donald Trump’s administration. Harris accused Trump of abandoning America's core ideals and warned of a looming constitutional crisis, specifically condemning his 'reckless' tariff policies for increasing household costs and risking economic recession. She described the administration’s agenda as self-serving and undermining constitutional checks and balances. Harris praised Americans and Democratic leaders resisting what she called authoritarian tactics and efforts to stoke fear. She also raised concerns about attacks on higher education and the rule of law, warning that defiance of court orders could threaten fundamental freedoms. The speech marks Harris’s most direct rebuke of Trump since her 2024 election loss and signals her ongoing national prominence.
