Kamala Harris condemns Trump's first 100 days, calling on Democrats to band together

When Kamala Harris delivers her first major public speech Wednesday, she'll step into the spotlight in a way she not yet has following her defeat to Trump.

Marking her return to the public sphere, former Vice President Kamala Harris sharply condemned the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term Wednesday, saying he had pulled America to the verge of a constitutional crisis, devastated the economy and abandoned world allies.

"Instead of an administration working to advance America's highest ideals, we are witnessing the wholesale abandonment of those ideals," Harris said.

Much of Trump's support, which led to his victory in November, had been pegged to an expectation that he would usher in a booming economy.

Instead, Harris said, Trump created the "greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history."

Harris delivered the remarks, which ran around 15 minutes, in the keynote address at the Emerge 20th Anniversary Gala at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, honoring the group’s role in electing more Democratic women in California politics.
