Kamala Harris's Call to Action: Stay in the Fight!
Prince George’s County Community College, USAWed Dec 18 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris recently spoke at Prince George's County Community College in Maryland, urging young voters to keep engaging in politics. Her speech came after her defeat in the 2024 election and the return of her opponent, Donald Trump, to the White House. Harris emphasized the importance of rolling up sleeves instead of giving up when faced with obstacles. She also referenced her mother's advice, encouraging the audience to make a difference rather than just complaining.
Harris's speech was filled with passion and optimism, even though she faced criticism for her wordy delivery. She called for unity and reminded the students about the long history of struggle in the United States. Her message highlighted the importance of lifting others up rather than tearing them down.
Interestingly, Harris used TLC's song "No Scrubs" as her exit music, which some interpreted as a subtle jab at the incoming Republican president. Despite her loss, Harris hinted at staying active in politics, echoing President Biden's sentiment that she's "not going anywhere. "
Harris faces potential challenges within her own party for future leadership. Several governors and other contenders are already considered for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. Maryland Governor Wes Moore, rumored to be a potential candidate, joined Harris at the event. California Governor Gavin Newsom, another viable option, will depart office in 2026, leaving an opening for Harris to potentially run for governor.
