Harris To Turn Prosecutorial Skills on Trump, Clinton Urging Early Voting

U.S. Senator 👤Kamala Harris will unleash her prosecutorial skills against President 👤Donald Trump on Wednesday when she addresses the Democratic National Convention as presidential nominee Joe Biden’s running mate.

The vice presidential nominee, a former prosecutor from California who made history as the first Black woman and Asian-American on a major U.S. presidential ticket, is expected to aggressively press the case against Trump’s re-election on Nov. 3.

Harris will likely aim to speak directly to millions of women, young Americans and voters of color, constituencies the party needs if Biden is to defeat Republican Trump.

She gained prominence in the Senate for her exacting interrogations of Trump nominees, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Attorney General Bill Barr.

The woman who lost to Trump in 2016, former Secretary of State 👤Hillary Clinton, meanwhile is expected to urge people to vote early given the pandemic, when she also addresses the convention in proceedings beginning at 9 p.m. ET (0100 GMT on Thursday).

“For four years, people have said to me, ‘I didn’t realize how dangerous he was.’ ‘I wish I could go back and do it over.’ Or worst, ‘I should have voted,'” Clinton will say, according to a copy of her remarks prepared for delivery. “Well, this can’t be another woulda coulda shoulda election. If you vote by mail, request your ballot now, and send it back as soon as you can. If you vote in person, do it early.”

The coronavirus pandemic has complicated the election, leaving a large number of Americans expected to cast votes by mail to avoid Nov. 3 crowds at polling places. Trump has repeatedly and without evidence attacked mail voting as susceptible to fraud, though it is nothing new in American political life.
