Vice President Kamala Harris kicked off her campaign Tuesday with a high-energy rally in Wisconsin reflecting the swarm of enthusiasm around her ascendent race for the White House.

An estimated 3,000-plus supporters filled a gymnasium in the Milwaukee area and cheered for the entire first minute Harris took the stage at her first official campaign rally. Throughout her remarks, she played up whats shaping up to be a central part of her campaign: Shes a former prosecutor and attorney general competing against a convicted felon.

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. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump s type, she said, echoing remarks she made to staff Monday about the GOP nominees criminal history.

A record-breaking first 24 hours of fundraising, largely from small donations, gave Harris another thing to hit Trump on.

Just look at how we are running our campaigns. Donald Trump is relying on support from billionaires and big corporations, and he is trading access in exchange for campaign contributions, she said.
