'Savage': Internet split as Kamala Harris says she 'knows Donald Trump's type' from prosecutor experience

WILMINGTON, DELAWARE: Vice President Kamala Harris touted herself as a worthy opponent to former president Donald Trump since becoming the frontrunner for the Democratic ticket after President Joe Biden's exit from the 2024 race.

Speaking to Biden's former campaign staff in Wilmington, Delaware, on Monday, July 22, the newly anointed White House hopeful said she was aware of "Trump's type" from her experience as a prosecutor where she faced "predators" and "fraudsters."

After nearly a month of disarray following a poor debate performance, the 81-year-old incumbent announced his decision to withdraw from the reelection race on July 21 through a statement on social media. Shortly after, he endorsed Harris for the presidential bid.

Kamala Harris expresses confidence in defeating Donald Trump

Speaking to Biden's campaign staff, the vice president pledged to unite the Democratic Party and the nation and win the November election, according to Mediaite.

"Before I was elected as vice president, before I was elected as United States senator, I was the elected attorney general, as I've mentioned, of California, and before that, I was a courtroom prosecutor," Harris noted, adding, "In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds."

Likening her potential opponent, Trump, to the criminals she came across at the time, Harris continued, "Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own game. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump's type!"

She also recalled her prosecutor experience in the Alameda County District Attorney's office in California, where she specialized in sexual abuse cases, as per OK Magazine. The VP referred to writer E Jean Carroll, highlighting that the former president was found liable by a jury for committing sexual abuse.

Nevertheless, she emphasized her presidential campaign was more than criticizing the Republican nominee's flaws; instead, it was "Two different visions for the future of our country. One focused on the future — the other focused on the past."

This is not the first time Harris unleashed an attack against Trump. After his New York hush money conviction in May, the vice president called out the real estate mogul's frequent claim of the case being "rigged." She asserted he felt so because "cheaters don't like getting caught."

"With all those accolades the border issue should have been foreseeable and preventable including criminal activity," another user said.

"She kicked out his front teeth. 'I know his type,' she said of Donald Trump. No way he can debate her," another opined.

"She’s gonna win this thing by a mile. She’s so exciting. People have been thirsting for this energy," an individual chimed in.

"That's why Trump is scared to debate her," added a user.

"Playing Prosecutor only helps Trump. Did she not learn this? Fani Willis the 2nd has arrived," another user wrote.
