Kamala Harris on Wednesday debuted a new line of attack against President Donald Trump, saying that her background as a prosecutor made her uniquely suited to take on a predator like the president.
At an Iowa event, during a riff on Trumps trade and health care policies and his handling of the surge of migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, the 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful ripped the president for betraying the American people.
Im prepared to prosecute the case. And Im going to tell you in terms of my background, the California senator said, rattling off a list of groups she prosecuted in her more than two decades in law enforcement in California.
I know predators, and we have a predator living in the White House, she continued, earning raucous applause from the crowd. And let me tell you, theres a little secret about predators. Donald Trump has predatory nature and predatory instincts.
The sharper rhetoric comes as Harris seeks to capitalize on a surge in polling since her commanding performance during last weeks Democratic debates. In particular, Harris dominated former Vice President Joe Biden in a bruising exchange over Bidens civil rights record.
Harris performed well enough to catch Trumps eye as he attended the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, where he downplayed her performance. Harris strong showing also caught the ire of conservatives who sought to cast doubt on whether Harris is black enough to speak with authority on matters of race, prompting her Democratic rivals to race to her defense. ......................
