US Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at a political event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Most of Kamala Harris’s introductory remarks were a repeat of her words yesterday, as she delivered her first speech since Mr Biden stepped down.

Both her and Mr Biden are keen to emphasise the continuity between their campaigns, in the hope that voters who had already been won over by Mr Biden will stick with the party in November.

But there is also a notable shift in tone here. Ms Harris’s delivery is much more fluid than her predecessor, and she looks delighted to be speaking in front of a crowd of supporters. She is hammering Donald Trump on the criminal cases against him, emphasising her record as a state prosecutor in California. “I know Donald Trump’s type,” she declares.

These lines of comparison between her and Trump are a more direct way of making the same point that Mr Biden often did ─ that Democrats are a symbol of integrity while the Republican nominee is a fraudster. It is a risky approach to lean so heavily on an issue that seems to have made little difference to Republican voters’ opinions so far.

Ms Harris positioned herself as the champion of middle class America.

“When our middle class is strong, America is strong,” she said. “But Donald Trump wants to take our country backward. him and his extreme 2025 agenda will weaken the middle class.”

  • ACA is so expensive for people actually working, 2 people is 900+ Month premium for basic care it's been unacceptable for middle class, it's killing us. All insurance is suffering because we don't have free market across the states.
