“Now I know my ladies in the crowd love their bodies,” she said. “And if you want to keep loving your body, you know who to vote for.”
Quavo, a rapper in the group Migos, also spoke to the crowd. Quavo has worked with Harris regarding gun violence following the death of his nephew due to a shooting.
Harris addressed her record as a prosecutor, district attorney and the attorney general of California. She also attacked former President Donald Trump, saying that she knew his type due to her role as a prosecutor.
“In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds, predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain,” Harris said. “So, hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.”
Harris also spoke about Trump refusing to debate in September after President Joe Biden dropped out as the Democratic nominee.
“Here’s the funny thing about that: So, he won’t debate, but he and his running mate sure seem to have a lot to say about me,” Harris said. “And, by the way, don’t you find some of their stuff to just be plain weird? Well, Donald? I do hope you’ll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage, because as the saying goes, ‘If you’ve got something to say, say it to my face.'”
