Kamala Harris spent most of her first speech as a 2024 presidential candidate highlighting contrasts with Donald Trump, characterizing her campaign as a "fight for the future," while his is one that aims to "take our country backwards." .

At the event in Milwaukee, Harris told the enthusiastic crowd: "Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion and the rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear and hate? And here's the beauty of this moment: We all have the power to to answer that question."

While she repeats some lines from her campaign speech against Biden-Harris, as well as what she told campaign workers in Wilmington on Monday, Harris is still drawing media attention, something she didn't do before Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. All major news outlets broadcast the speech in whole or in part, with Fox News dropping out after about 10 minutes.
