Inside Kamala Harris' anti-Trump strategy

Sunday, July 21 brought yet another bombshell in the United States' already-tumultuous 2024 presidential election: President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

Before becoming vice president, Harris was elected to different positions in via native California: U.S. senator, state attorney general, and San Francisco district attorney. And according to CNN, Harris plans to play up her background as a prosecutor if she officially becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.

CNN's Edward-Isaac Dovere reports, "Kamala Harris has spent much more of her life as a prosecutor than as a senator or vice president — and that is exactly how she is now going to run against Donald Trump. In sessions that were quietly underway at the Naval Observatory even before Joe Biden's disastrous debate, Harris and her inner circle had already landed on the plan to look past whoever Trump picked as his running mate and focus almost exclusively on the former president."

Dovere adds, "The vice president had expected that to be part of her role making the case for Biden. But it became clearer and clearer over the last month that she was likely going to be making the case for herself."

Harris' strategy, according to Dovere, will be "prosecutor for president." The vice president's advisers, according to Dovere, "believe that this is a way not just to raise up her own life story, but to make her come across as fighting for Americans while Trump is trying to serve himself."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) told CNN, "As a former prosecutor, Vice President Harris has a lot of experience holding convicted felons accountable. She was fighting on behalf of abused women. She was in the trenches against giant banks."

Warren added, "She was out in the middle of multiple fights every day as a prosecutor and then attorney general in California."
