Vice President Kamala Harris spoke today before the American Federation of Teachers' (AFT) annual convention in Houston. It was Harris' third campaign stop since Sunday, when President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential contest and endorsed Harris for the Democratic nomination.
Harris opened her speech by paying tribute to Biden and to the AFT, which became the first union to endorse her for the 2024 presidential election on Monday.
Harris then began contrasting her and President Biden's record in office with that of former President Trump, as well as what the organization known as Project 2025 has proposed for a second Trump term.
