So, who is she?

Harris has a history of being the first.
-
You may be the first to do many things, but make sure you're not the last.

She was the first African-American and first woman to become district attorney of San Francisco and later Attorney General of California.

-It makes me nervous.
-
-Is that a no?
-
Is that a yes?

No, no.

His vanity project.

Trump tweeted an attack ad on Harris shortly after the V.P. pick was announced, calling her a "phony" and accusing her of rushing to the radical left during her presidential run.

"Slow Joe" and "Phony Kamala.”

Harris ran an unsteady presidential campaign that ended before the first primaries.
-
We are all in this together.

This is our house, and may appeal to both moderates and liberals.
