Former Vice President Kamala Harris stated in a recent interview with former CNN host Don Lemon that she has spoken to individuals who voted for President Donald Trump and expressed feeling deceived by his administration's immigration policies.
Harris highlighted that many Trump supporters believed the administration would target criminals exclusively, but instead, raids have affected hardworking people, causing fear in communities.
She emphasized that these voters feel betrayed by the administration's actions.
Harris made these remarks while promoting her memoir, "107 Days," which details her brief 2024 presidential campaign following Joe Biden's withdrawal and endorsement of her as the Democratic nominee.
She criticized Trump for repeatedly lying to the American public, including promises to reduce prices, and suggested that many Americans are ready to mobilize against what she described as the weaponization of the rule of law and governmental corruption.
During the interview, Harris also discussed a "No Kings" protest, anticipating large, multi-generational turnout demanding better governance.
Don Lemon praised Harris and her book, despite the memoir receiving mixed to negative reviews for attributing her electoral defeat to various external factors.
Harris has been openly critical of Trump throughout her media tour.
In a separate MSNBC interview, Harris accused Trump of conducting a "vengeance campaign" against political opponents, citing recent indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
She expressed skepticism about the public's trust in the Department of Justice under the current administration.
Nonetheless, Harris acknowledged Trump and his team’s role in brokering a peace deal that secured the release of living Israeli hostages in Gaza.
The article also notes that Harris's media appearances and book tour have sparked criticism from some liberal commentators who labeled her efforts as "embarrassing" and "unhelpful." Despite this, Harris continues to engage publicly on issues related to governance, justice, and political accountability.
