She officially declared her candidacy after incumbent President Joe Biden withdrew from the race for a second term on July 20.
“The momentum in this race is shifting. There are signs that Donald Trump is feeling it. You may have noticed. So last week, you may have seen, he pulled out of the debate in September he had previously agreed to,” Harris said.
“Well Donald , I do hope you'll reconsider meeting me on the debate stage because as the saying goes, if you got something to say, say it to my face,” she said to a cheering crowd.
“So, here's the funny thing about that. Here's the funny thing about that. He won't debate, but he and his running mate sure seem to have a lot to say about me," she said.

“The path to the White House runs right through this state, and you all helped us win in 2020, and we're going to do it again in 2024. Yes, we will,” she said.
Asserting that the campaign is not just about them versus Trump, Harris said,“Truly, this campaign is about two very different visions for our nation. One focused on the future. The other focused on the past.”
