”Trump Is An Unserious Man’: Kamala Harris Lays Out What’s At Stake In 2024 Race’

“The consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious,” the vice president said.

On Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris described former President Donald Trump as an “unserious man” but cautioned about the severe risks if he were to return to office.

In her speech on the final night of the Democratic National Convention, Harris reminded Americans of Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and his involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. She urged voters to reject a return to the Trump-era turmoil.

“In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man,” Harris stated. “However, the consequences of reinstating him in the White House are profoundly serious. Reflect not only on the chaos of his previous term but also on the significance of what has occurred since his last defeat.”

Harris also mentioned the recent Supreme Court ruling granting Trump immunity for his “official” actions while in office, suggesting it might embolden him to pursue his own interests if re-elected.

“Imagine Donald Trump with no constraints, wielding the immense powers of the presidency not to improve lives or enhance national security, but to serve his own interests,” Harris warned.

She contrasted herself with Trump, promising to govern for all Americans and emphasizing that this election offers an opportunity to move beyond past divisions and bitterness.

Harris’ speech, seen as a pivotal moment in her career, was initially not planned for her until President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race, followed by his endorsement of her. Biden had stepped down amid pressure from his party to make way for a younger candidate, especially after his underwhelming debate performance.

Harris acknowledged that her path to the nomination was unconventional but expressed readiness for the challenge, drawing inspiration from her mother’s move from India to California at 19.

“America, the path that led me here in recent weeks was, no doubt, unexpected,” she said. “But I’m no stranger to unlikely journeys.”
