3 key objectives Harris is expected to touch on during DNC speech
Vice President Kamala Harris is setting out to achieve three key objectives in her highly anticipated Democratic National Convention speech Thursday night, according to a campaign official.
Harris intends to highlight her background -- she was raised by a working mother in a middle-class neighborhood -- to show she shares the experiences, challenges, and values of middle-class families.
She will also detail her journey to becoming a prosecutor in order to protect others -- like survivors of sexual abuse or homeowners impacted by the foreclosure crisis -- a campaign official told ABC News.
Harris will then set out the dangers posed by former President Donald Trump's campaign, specifically, the Project 2025 agenda. The vice president will look to contrast that with her “New Way Forward” agenda, the campaign official said.
