House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom appear alongside top Bay Area Democratic donors at sold-out event
FILE – Vice President Kamala Harris arrives to speak during a campaign rally, July 30, 2024, in Atlanta. Harris, the daughter of immigrants, rose through the California political and law enforcement ranks to become the first female vice president in U.S. history. She secured the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination on Aug. 5, 2024.
In her speech, Harris took aim at her opponent, former President Donald Trump, and Project 2025, the vast set of policy proposals put together by conservative groups that would reshape the government and expand presidential powers if he were re-elected.Harris garnered raucous applause when she mentioned abortion rights, vowing to sign protections for Roe v. Wade into law as president and telling the crowd, “We trust women to know what is in their own best interest.
Inside, many of California’s top Democrats were in attendance, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, who Harris thanked for being “an extraordinary leader for California,” as well as U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee of Oakland, Attorney General Rob Bonta, and California Assemblymember and U.S. House of Representatives candidate Evan Low. Local San Francisco politicians, including Mayor London Breed and her challenger, Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin, were also in the crowd.
“We don’t want to have any regrets the day after the election that we could have done that much more,” she said. “Democracy is on the ballot.”poll conducted this week found Harris beating Trump 50% to 46% in the key swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — though those leads fall within the survey’s margin of error.Earlier this week, a group of Silicon Valley investors called “VCs for Kamala” received pledges of nearly $150,000 for the Harris campaign.
