Kamala Harris kicks off campaign, Trump ready for debate showdown

Kamala Harris began her election campaign on Tuesday. At her first campaign rally, the vice president outlined the "main goal of her presidency." She also mentioned Donald Trump, who has already expressed his willingness to debate the likely Democratic candidate.

Harris is still vying for the Democratic Party nomination. Although she can formally obtain the nomination in the vote scheduled for early August, the Vice President is already organizing campaign events.

The first official rally was held in the suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which could be pivotal in determining the results of the November presidential elections in the USA.

Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion and rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear and hate? Harris asked, reiterating the message from Monday. And to your point do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion, and rule of law or a country of chaos, fear, and hate? — she said just a day before.

Harris emphasized that "Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency. Because here’s the thing we all here, Wisconsin, know: When our middle class is strong, American is strong", she declared.

She added that she would strive to ensure that everyone "has the opportunity not just to get by but to get ahead," that "no child has to grow up in poverty, where every person can buy a home, start a family, and build wealth, and where every person has access to paid family leave and affordable child care."

Harris reminded the audience that Trump holds conservative views on issues such as access to abortion. Each person in our nation should have the freedom to live without the terror of gun violence and reproductive freedom, she stated, committing to "end Donald Trump's extreme agenda."

The Republican candidate also does not forget about his new rival. Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he is willing to participate in more than one debate with Harris. He believes the Democratic candidate will be "easier" to defeat than Joe Biden.

Trump also argued that Harris is "much more radical" than Biden.
