Excerpt from thereload.comIn her first campaign address since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized her support for new gun restrictions.
On Monday, Harris rallied with Democratic campaign staff in Wilmington, Delaware. She laid out her vision for her own potential presidency, which included a number of new gun-control laws. She described herself and the campaign staffers as “we who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence.” Then, she made specific policy promises.
“That’s why we will work to pass universal background checks, Red Flag laws, and an assault weapons ban,” Harris said.
Harris’s speech and promises come after a whirlwind 24 hours where President Biden announced he would no longer seek reelection and endorsed her to take over his campaign. Nearly every prominent Democrat has since lined up behind Harris, and no major challengers to her taking the nomination have yet appeared. Her Monday speech indicates she plans to pursue a very similar gun policy path for the 2024 election that President Biden has been laying out since earlier this year.
