Kamala Harris is vying for the Democratic Party's nomination. In her Monday address, she promised, among other things, to fight for women's right to abortion. She also mentioned Donald Trump, referencing disgraceful episodes from his past.

We will fight for reproductive freedom. Knowing that if Trump gets the chance, he will sign a nationwide abortion ban – stated Harris, listing the main topics of her presidential campaign.

She added that strengthening the middle class will also be an important issue.

I love Joe Biden. We will win. I see what kind of guy Donald Trump is – said Harris. She then compared Trump to a "predator" and a "fraudster".

Harris took a jibe at Trump: "Predator and fraudster"

In her speech, the Vice President recalled the times when she served as California's Attorney General. In that role, I dealt with all kinds of people (...) Predators who exploited women, fraudsters who robbed people (...). So listen to me: I know Donald Trump's type – she said, eliciting laughter from her supporters.

Harris thus referenced Donald Trump's criminal case. In May, the politician was found guilty of concealing a hush payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels.

Joe Biden's associate also argued that "everyone in the USA faces the question of what kind of country they want to live in: a country of freedom, compassion, and the rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear, and hatred".

Each of us has the opportunity to answer that question. So for the next 106 days, we have work to do – she declared.
