Wed Apr 30 08:40:00 UTC 2025: **Harris to Deliver Sharp Critique of Trump Administration in Rare Public Appearance**
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Former Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver a keynote address at Emerge California’s 20th-anniversary gala this Wednesday, marking her most extensive public remarks since leaving office. The speech, coming just one day after President Trump’s 100th day in office, will feature a pointed critique of the Trump administration’s policies, particularly its economic approach, which Harris will characterize as reckless.
The event, hosted by the organization that trains Democratic women to run for office, holds special significance for Harris, considered an “Emerge woman” herself. Emerge has seen a surge in interest since Trump’s reelection, with nearly 1,000 women inquiring about entering politics. Other speakers include notable Emerge alumnae such as Rep. Abigail Spanberger and Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow.
Harris’ speech will serve as a call to action, urging Americans to address what she sees as a crisis facing the nation’s institutions. Echoing a recent message about the contagious nature of courage, she is expected to inspire attendees to take political action.
This appearance comes as Harris weighs her political future, considering a gubernatorial run in California in 2026 or another presidential bid in 2028. Sources close to Harris suggest that pursuing both simultaneously would be highly challenging.
