Kamala Harris with first campaign video: Donald Trump under fire with mugshot

FR Kamala Harris with first campaign video: Donald Trump under fire with mugshot Mark Stoffers • 10 hours • 3 minutes reading time Clear message Kamala Harris' first commercial before the US election shows a clear line. Donald Trump will hardly like this in the race for the White House. Washington D.C. - The speech about Joe Biden's withdrawal has been in the rearview mirror since last night. Now his designated successor Kamala Harris is apparently starting the campaign for the US election in November 2024. The polls for Harris are showing a trend that is making Donald Trump angry. At the same time, the Trump camp has already started firing poison arrows in Harris' direction. Kamal Harris' first commercial for the 2024 US election: Donald Trump's mugshot in the spotlight According to the ex-president, after a possible victory in the US election, Harris will be the "president of criminals" who is planning the "execution" of babies. Kamala Harris's response was not long in coming. After US President Joe Biden's withdrawal, the rumored presidential candidate released her first campaign video with a statement that was quite something. It blatantly shows Donald Trump's mugshot. The message is clear: Kamala Harris is not afraid to go on the offensive and to conduct the election campaign on a personal level. The focus of Harris' first campaign ad is on Donald Trump's ongoing legal problems and his status as a convicted criminal. Kamala Harris' first ad for the US election: Donald Trump as a criminal is in the foreground In the ad, which is set to Beyoncé's song "Freedom", Harris speaks of an America "in which no one is above the law". Harris' first campaign video also shows a montage of newspaper front pages about the former president's ongoing legal problems and the famous mugshot of Donald Trump. Who will win the 2024 US election: Donald Trump or the likely new Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris? Harris has already used the song at public events in the past week. The commercial also shows footage of people waving Pride flags, scenes of children playing and crowds cheering Harris on a podium. Promotional video for the 2024 US election: Harris attacks Trump and Republicans' election program In the commercial, Harris asks: "What kind of country do we want to live in?" She also contrasts the democratic vision of "freedom" with the Republican program and primarily Trump, which is characterized by "chaos, fear and hate". "We believe in the promise of America and we are ready to fight for it," Harris continues in the commercial. "Because when we fight, we win." A statement that suggests a turnaround before the US election and is supported by a new poll about Harris and Trump. Harris' first campaign ad: Gun violence, abortion and poverty are crucial issues in the US election Harris talks about various freedoms, including safety from gun violence, a woman's freedom to have an abortion, the freedom offered by affordable health care and reducing child poverty, and the freedom offered by sufficient economic security "not just to make ends meet, but to get ahead." The ad was viewed over 6.7 million times in five hours after it was published on X (formerly Twitter). Election campaign before the 2024 US election: Donald Trump as a convicted criminal The focus on the lawsuits against Donald Trump is hardly surprising. After all, the former president was criminally convicted of falsifying business records, found liable in a civil case for defamation and sexual abuse, and is facing three other criminal cases that have not yet been heard in court. In all cases, Trump claims that he is innocent and the subject of political persecution. The announcement follows the endorsement of President Joe Biden and almost all high-ranking Democrats, as well as former President Barack Obama, who is said to have held secret talks, at least in the background. Harris is apparently the logical candidate for the US election: the search for a vice president is underway After Biden's withdrawal, Harris was the only candidate who was legally allowed to use funds previously raised for the Biden/Harris campaign because her name was on the ballot. In the first 48 hours following Biden's withdrawal, her campaign raised over $120 million. However, another important question remains unanswered: Harris has not yet announced a vice president for her candidacy in the US election.
