about speeches of the campaign season and Kamala did not disappoint in her first White House campaign she launched straight into the matter a blistering critique of Donald Trump that left no stone unturned kamla Harris made it clear that this wasn't going to be just another campaign speak 1:00 filled with empty promises and vague platitudes no this was personal it was raw it was about holding Donald Trump accountable for the years of chaos corruption and cruelty that have defined his public life what made Harris's speech powerful was her decision to go straight for Trump's jugular she didn't just criticize his policies she attacked his character his morality and his Fitness for office and she had plenty of material to work with Harris took aim at Trump's legal and ethical failures laying out a case against him that would make even the most hardened Trump supporter squirm let's start with with the facts Donald Trump has been found guilty of sexual abuse that's not political mudslinging that's a legal reality kamla Harris didn't shy away from reminding the public of this Inconvenient Truth she called out Trump's history of sexual misconduct focusing on how he was found guilty of sexual abuse in a civil case involving egene Carroll she said as a prosecutor I specialized in cases involving sexual abuse well Trump was found liable for committing sexual abuse 2:00 Harris pointed out that this is not the behavior of a leader it's the behavior of a predator and it's certainly not what the American people deserve in a president but Harris didn't stop there she also took Trump to task for his fraudulent business practices zeroing in on the infamous Trump University Scandal remember that the so-called University That was supposed to teach students the secrets of real estate success but ended up being a glorified scam kamla Harris made sure the public didn't forget as Attorney General of California I took on one of our country's largest for-profit colleges that was she laid out how Trump's phony University defrauded thousands of students out of their hard-earned money leaving them with nothing but worthless degrees and empty bank accounts Kamala was quick to point out the irony of Trump's claims to be a champion of the working class when in reality he has consistently exploited the very people he claims to represent whether it was scamming students with Trump University or refusing to pay contractors who worked on his properties Trump's track record is clear he's 3:00 always been out for himself no matter who gets hurt in the process Harris argued that a man with such a record should never have been allowed near the Oval Office let alone be given a second chance to run the country but it wasn't just Trump's pass that Harris aimed at she also addressed the ongoing investigations and legal troubles that continue to swirl around him from his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results to his Shady Financial dealings Trump is buried deep in scandal after Scandal and Harris made it clear that this is not the kind of leadership America needs or deserves she hammered home the point that Trump's legal troubles are not just a distraction they are a symptom of a deeper moral rot that has infected his entire career as Kamala spoke it was impossible not to notice the differences she was drawing between herself and Trump while he is buried in Scandal and Corruption she presented herself as a candidate committed to ethical governance and transparency Harris emphasized that her presidency would be about restoring trust in government something that has been sorely lacking during the Trump years in Her speech she said building up the middle class will be a defining goal of 4:03 my presidency because I strongly believe when the middle class is strong America is strong vowing to bring Integrity back to the White House and to ensure that the American people can once again have confidence in their leaders Harris also laid out a series of policy proposals aimed at preventing future abuses of power she talked about the G importance of strengthening ethics rules for public officials and increasing transparency in government she EMP emphasized the need for stronger protections against conflicts of interest and for holding leaders accountable when they break the law Harris made it clear that her Administration would be focused on ensuring that the abuses of the Trump era could never happen again in Her speech kamla Harris didn't just critique Trump she offered a vision for a better future she spoke about the need to rebuild trust in government and to create a system where leaders are held accountable for their actions as president I'll Tack and take on the issue of the cost of healthcare Harris's message was clear America deserves better than Donald Trump and she is the candidate who can deliver the leadership 5:05 and integrity the country so desperately needs with her powerful speech kamla Harris not only exposed Trump's failures but also set the tone for her campaign now let's take a look at the journey that has brought her to this pivotal moment as the Democratic presidential candidate and the challenges she faces from Trump's Relentless smear campaign kamla Harris the journey to becoming a presidential candidate kamla Harris's rise to the Forefront of American politics is nothing short of remarkable from her days as a young prosecutor to her historic role as the first woman and first person of color to be elected vice president Harris has always been a forced to be reckoned with but as impressive as her career has been what truly sets kamla apart is her ability to stay grounded even as she climbs to the highest peaks of power she's a political Powerhouse with a human touch someone who can take down opponents with her sharp wit and legal knowledge yet still connect with everyday Americans and now as the Democratic party's presidential candidate kamla Harris is ready to make history once again kamla's Journey began 6:00 in Oakland California where she was born to Immigrant parents a mother from India and a father from Jamaica growing up in the 1960s and 7s Kamala witnessed firsthand the struggles of the Civil Rights Movement which left a great mark on her inspired by her mother who was a renowned cancer researcher and activist kamla knew from an early age that she wanted to fight for justice but before she could take on the big dogs in Washington she had to cut her teeth in the courtroom kamla started her legal career as a prosecutor in Alama County California now let's be honest being a secutor is no easy gig you're not exactly winning popularity contests when your job is to put people behind bars but Kamala thrived in this role quickly earning a reputation as a tough non-nonsense attorney who wasn't afraid to take on the big cases in 2003 she made her first major political move by running for district attorney of San Francisco now this was a bold move she was going up against an incumbent in a male-dominated field but Kamala with her trademark confidence and unyielding determination won the election and became the first woman and the first person of to hold the office as San 7:01 Francisco's da kamla didn't just sit back and enjoy the view from the top she got to work implementing Progressive reforms while still maintaining a tough on crime stance her back on track program which provided firsttime drug offenders with the opportunity to avoid jail time by completing a rigorous job training and education program was particularly groundbreaking on creating the program she said the vast majority of parents have a natural desire to parent their children well and love their children but there are some who don't necessarily have the skills and the resources to do that and so I designed back on track because sometimes folks just need the help this showed kamla's ability to balance compassion with accountability a theme that would define her career by 2010 kamla Harris was ready for her next challenge running for Attorney General of California again she was making history this time as the first woman and first person of color to be elected to the position as a G Kamala took on some of the biggest cases in the state's 8:02 history including securing a $25 billion settlement for California homeowners after the mortgage crisis she also fought against human trafficking worked to improve the state's criminal justice system and was a fierce advocate for Environmental Protection but perhaps one of her most high-profile battles was against the powerful for-profit College industry KLA Harris didn't just take on the industry she dismantled it she secured a $1.1 billion judgment against Corinthian Colleges a company that had scammed thousands of students out of their money it was a victory that cemented her reputation as a Fearless advocate for justice with a resume like that it was only a matter of time before kamala's name started circulating on the national stage in 2016 she was elected to the US Senate where she quickly made a name for herself as a tough interrogator during Senate hearings her grilling of then attorney general Jeff sessions during the Russia investigation became the stuff of Legends sessions who looked like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world at at that moment famously said I'm not able to uh be rushed this 9:04 fast it makes me nervous if you're making a seasoned politici like session sweat bullets you're doing something right as a senator Kamala continued her work on Criminal Justice Reform immigration and health care but her star really began to rise during the 2020 Democratic primaries while her presidential campaign ultimately didn't go the distance kamala's performances on the debate stage were Unforgettable Americans but the LGBT but Vice President Biden do you agree today do you agree today that you were wrong to oppose busing in America who could forget that time she took Joe Biden to task over his past stance on busing all while doing it with a smile that said no hard feelings Joe but I'm going to roast you now it was a moment that showed kamala's ability to mix toughness with Charisma a combination that made her an obvious choice when Biden was looking for a running mate Cala Harris's selection Joe Biden's running mate was historically significant as she became 10:03 the first woman in person of color nominated for vice president by a major party her energy diversity and commitment to Justice played a crucial role in energizing voters and securing a victory in the contentious 2020 election as vice president Kamala has been instrumental in tackling the covid-19 pandemic driving economic recovery and addressing systemic racism she's proven to be an active leader not just a ceremonial figurehead taking on significant responsibilities and challenges despite facing criticism Kamala has shown resilience and determination throughout her career now as the Democratic presidential candidate she is ready to take on her biggest challenge defeating Donald Trump kamla Harris's rise to prominence has been nothing short of amazing but with that success has come a Relentless campaign of attacks from her political opponents and if there's one thing Donald Trump is known for besides his questionable spray tan and love of fast food it's his ability to launch a Relentless smear 11:02 campaign against his opponents and when it comes to kamla Harris Trump has been at it with all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop from the moment Harris stepped into the national Spotlight Trump and his allies have been scrambling to discredit her but as much as they try Kamala just keeps on Shining proving that she's not just tough she's practically unbreakable let's rewind to the 2020 election shall we kamla Harris was announced as Joe Biden's running mate and within seconds the Trump machine went into overdrive Trump's first line of attack questioning her eligibility to be vice president yes that's right Trump who's notorious for promoting the baseless birther conspiracy against Barack Obama tried to pull the same stunt with Harris he hinted that Harris might not be a natural-born citizen because her parents were immigrants never mind that she was born in Oakland California which last time anyone checked is still part of the United States the fact that Trump was even floating this idea was enough to make anyone's eyes Roll But Trump didn't stop there oh no he kept digging during 12:05 a rally in Pennsylvania Trump Unleashed a tie rate of insults calling kamla Harris everything from extraordinarily nasty to a monster and just for good measure a mad woman he went on to say and I thought she was the meanest the the most horrible most disrespectful of anybody in the usn watching him go all the way out on her was the kind of performance that made you wonder if Trump's speech writers were just drawing words out of a hat at this point the irony of course is that while Trump was busy throwing juvenile insults Harris was busy you know doing her job as vice president she was tackling real issues like the pandemic the economy and voting rights while Trump was still ranting on stage like a stand-up comedian who'd lost his script and then there was the time Trump called Harris a radical leftist lunatic this was rich coming from a guy who known for his extreme positions and who surrounded himself with a Rogues gallery of 13:03 political extremists Trump and his team spent months trying to convince voters that Harris was going to turn America into a socialist dystopia where everyone would be forced to listen to NPR and eat kale the reality of course is that kamla Harris is a practical Centrist politician who has spent her career finding common ground and getting things done but that didn't stop Trump from labeling her as a crazy liberal a claim so out of tou touch that it's almost laughable one of the more desperate attempts to undermine Kamala came from Trump's allies who went on a full-court press to question her liability and authenticity they tried to paint her as a cold calculating politician who couldn't connect with voters Trump even went as far as to make fun of her laugh saying for nearly four years kamla has crackled as the American economy has burned what happened to her laugh I haven't heard that laugh in about a week that's why they keep her off the stage that's why she's disappear here that's the laugh of a crazy person I will tell you never mind that Harris has a smile 14:04 that could light up a room in a downright infectious laugh Trump's team even attempted to portray her as unpatriotic remember that time Ron McDaniel the former chairperson of the Republican National Committee claimed Harris laughed at the idea of visiting the Border never mind that Harris has been a strong advocate for immigration reform and has been working tirelessly to address the root causes of migration but hey why let facts get in the way of a good smear campaign right of course the attacks didn't just come from Trump himself his allies in the media and his supporters on social media were more than happy to pile on Harris was subjected to a barrage of sexist and racist attacks with critics questioning everything from her Heritage to her qualifications at one point Fox News host Tucker Carlson couldn't even be bothered to learn how to pronounce her name correctly just tell camela Harris what to say and she will say it that is the whole point of camela Harris Tucker can I just say one quick thing because 15:00 this is something that will serve you and your fellow um host on Fox her name is pronounced comma like the punctuation mark look Kamala okay seriously I've heard every sort of mization that's how it is Kamala it's Kamala not Kamala Tucker but I suppose expecting attention to detail from the same guy who once claimed that wind turbines cause cancer is a bit much and let's not forget the infamous moment when Trump's campaign thought it would be a good idea to label her as a third rate phony candidate the name didn't exactly catch on probably because it's hard to paint someone as phony when they're known for being brutally honest and direct Kamala Harris doesn't mince words and she certainly doesn't pretend to be someone she's not in fact that's one of the reasons she's so popular people know that what you see is what you get with Kamala she's authentic she's real and she's not afraid to call it like she sees it but Harris hasn't just ignored Trump's attacks she's hit back with the kind of sharp wi that makes her one of the most 16:01 formidable Debaters in politics today take for example the time she was asked about Trump's constant insults instead of getting defensive Kamala simply responded Donald Trump has been resorting to some wild lies about my record and some of what he and his running mate are saying well it's just plain weird that's Kamala in a nutshell unbothered by the noise and Laser focused on getting things done kamla Harris's response to Trump's attacks has been nothing short of mass masterful she hasn't allowed herself to be dragged down into the mud instead she's kept her eye on the prize winning the election and continuing to fight for the American people while Trump continues to hurl insults from the sidelines Kamala is out there making a difference working tirelessly to build a better future for all Americans and let's be real if Trump's best shot at taking down kamla Harris is by calling her names and questioning her authenticity then he's in big trouble Kamala has faced tougher challenges before and she's come out on top every time Trump's smear campaign may have rallied his base but it hasn't 17:04 dented kamala's resolve in fact it's only made her stronger because at the end of the day kamla Harris is more than just a political opponent she's a force of Nature and she's not going anywhere as kamla Harris navigates the attacks from Trump and his allies it's worth reflecting on how her tenure alongside Joe Biden Stacks up against Trump's years in office let's compare their records and see how the Biden Harris Administration accomplishments contrast with Trump's chaotic presidency comparing tenur Harrison Biden versus Trump let's get into The Ultimate Showdown kamla Harris and Joe Biden versus Donald Trump it's like comparing a gourmet meal to a fast food Burger sure some folks might have a taste for the greasy stuff but when it comes to substance there's really no contest Biden and Harris have spent their time in office focused on delivering Real Results for the American people while Trump's presidency often felt like a reality TV show gone off the rails so 18:01 let's take a look at how these two administrations stack up against each other first up let's talk about the elephant in the room or rather the virus when Biden and Harris took office in January 2021 the country was in the middle of the worst pandemic in over a century covid-19 had already claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and the vaccine roll out was just getting started Trump had spent much of the previous year downplaying the virus spreading misin information and let's be honest looking like he'd rather be golfing than dealing with the crisis remember the time he suggested injecting disinfectant as a treatment yeah not exactly the leadership we needed in contrast Biden and Harris hit the ground running with a comprehensive plan to get vaccines into arms and bring the pandemic under control they set an ambitious goal of administering 100 million shots in their first 100 days in office and then doubled it by the time those 100 days were up more than 20 100 million doses had been administered not too shabby right under their leadership 19:03 vaccines became widely available and the country began to slowly but surely emerge from the pandemic of course it hasn't been easy and the fight against covid-19 is far from over but Biden and Harris have approached the challenge with the seriousness and competence that the moment demanded now let's switch gears and talk about the economy when Trump was in office he liked to brag about the stock market and job numbers until of course the pandemic hit and everything everything went South Trump's presidency saw some economic growth particularly in the early years but it was largely built on a house of cards his signature achievement the 2017 tax cuts was a windfall for the wealthy in corporations while doing little to nothing for the average American in fact the national debt ballooned under Trump and the benefits of his economic policies were unevenly distributed to say the least enter Biden and Harris who inherited an economy in shambles but instead of just trying to patch things up and call it a day they set out to rebuild the economy in a way that works 20:03 for everyone the American Rescue plan passed in March 2021 was a massive $1.9 trillion package aimed at providing relief to those hardest hit by the pandemic it included direct payments to Americans extended unemployment benefits and funding for vaccine distribution in small businesses critics might have called it too ambitious but the results speak for themselves millions of Americans lifted out of poverty unemployment rates plummeting and a stronger safety net for those who need it most but Biden and Harris didn't stop there they've been hard at work on the infrastructure front with the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure law in November 2021 This 1.2 trillion investment is set to rebuild America's crumbling roads Bridges and public transit systems expand Broadband access and Tackle climate change by investing in clean energy compare that to Trump who spent 4 4 years talking about infrastructure weak but never quite managed to get anything off the ground it's almost like Biden and Harris took 21:05 Trump's empty promises and turned them into actual tangible progress imagine that the difference between the Trump and Biden Harris administrations is quite obvious particularly on climate change democracy and immigration Trump rolled back Environmental Protections withdrew from the Paris agreement and promoted fossil fuels harming the planet in contrast Biden Harris made climate change a priority rejoining the Paris agreement setting ambitious emission goals and passing the inflation reduction act to invest in clean energy regarding democracy Trump undermined Democratic Norms spread false election claims and incited an Insurrection Biden Harris prioritized protecting democracy supporting voting rights legislation and restoring trust in government institutions on immigration Trump's policies were characterized by cruelty and division such as family separations segregation of marginalized communities and the Muslim ban Biden Harris aimed to restore fairness ending the Muslim ban 22:07 halting the border wall and reuniting separated families finally while Trump's presidency was chaotic and filled with a lot of scandals and drama to rival a telen Nolla Biden Harris have brought calm confidence and a focus on effective governance back to the White House as we look ahead to the next election the choice couldn't be clearer on one hand we have a team that's committed to progress unity and making life better for all Americans on the other we have a former president who spent four years dividing the country and leaving chaos in his way the Biden Harris Administration has proven that they have what it takes to lead and kamla Harris in particular has shown that she's ready to take the Reigns and continue the work of building a better more just America as the 2024 election heats up kamla Harris is making it abundantly clear that her vision for the future is about more than just picking up where Biden leaves off it's about taking the progress made under the Biden 23:01 Administration and turbocharging it into a new era of prosperity equity and opportunity for all Americans while Donald Trump is busy trying to revive the past complete with all the drama chaos and greatness that worked out so well for him the first time Harris is focused on moving the country forward with a bold forward-looking agenda that addresses the real challenges of today and tomorrow at the heart of kamla Harris's vision for the future is an e economic agenda that prioritizes the needs of Working Families over the interests of the wealthy Elite let's be honest under Trump the economy might have looked good on paper if you were checking the stock market or asking a billionaire how they were doing but for everyday Americans the so-called Trump economy was a mixed bag at best wages stagnated income inequality soared and those tax cuts that were supposed to benefit everyone they mostly fatten the wallets of the top 1% Harris knows that to build a truly strong economy you have to start with the people who actually keep the wheels turning workers small 24:03 business owners and families just trying to make ends meet Harris's economic plan focuses on ensuring shared Prosperity through raising the minimum wage expanding access to Affordable Health Care and investing in education and job training she is committed to closing the racial wealth Gap and creating Equitable opportunities for marginalized communities her vision includes preparing for future challenges by investing in infrastructure clean energy and techn techology to build a sustainable economy with millions of good paying jobs Harris supports expanding the Affordable Care Act and working toward Universal Health Care believing Healthcare is a right she is also dedicated to protecting democracy by expanding voting rights and supporting reforms like the John Lewis voting rights advancement act Harris is committed to social justice advocating for Criminal Justice Reform lgbtq plus rights women's rights and immigrant rights in foreign policy emphasizes diplomacy multilateralism and rebuilding alliances to address Global challenges 25:04 lastly Harris is focused on the future of work protecting workers rights and ensuring inclusivity in the evolving job market as we look ahead to a potential Harris presidency it's clear that she's not just thinking about the next four years she's thinking about the Next Generation Harris's vision is one of progress where the government actually works for the people where the economy is strong because it's fair and where the future is bright because we're prepared for it while Trump Pines for the past and relives his Greatest Hits from the 2016 campaign Trail Harris is focused on building a better future for all Americans one that's inclusive just and filled with opportunity Harris's presidency would continue and expand the progress made under Biden but it would also bring a fresh perspective and A Renewed Energy to the challenges we face with her experience determination and vision Kamala Harris is ready to lead the country into

steered clear of the world of politics her songs spoke of Love heartbreak and personal growth resonating with Millions who found solace in her lyrics yet beneath the surface she saw political issues

candidate from Swift's home state of Tennessee whose conservative policies in alignment with Donald Trump sparked controversy and debate Swift watched as Blackburn's campaign unfolded her policies clashing with the values Swift held dear Blackburn stances on women's rights lgbtq plus discrimination and Racial equality were points of content I for the singer the Senator's opposition to the reauthorization of the violence against women act which aimed to protect victims of domestic abuse and stalking struck a particularly dissonant chord with Swift The Tipping Point came when Blackburn's campaign released a series of advertisements wrapped in the language of Tennessee Christian values a message that Swift felt misrepresented the beliefs of many tennesseans including herself it was an intentional oversight that Swift could no longer Overlook or remain silent about as the documentary reveals Swift's ision to speak out was not made lightly behind the scenes she grappled with the
