Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to depart from Los Angeles International Airport Sunday aboard Air Force 2, bound for Orlando, Florida, ending a five-day trip to Southern California that included speaking at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser.
Harris used the 18-minute speech at a Newport Coast estate Saturday to emphasize the importance of the November midterm elections.
“We’re at a moment in our world and country of so much of what we took for granted is now unsettled,” Harris told the approximately 15 people in attendance. “So many things we thought were long settled — territorial interfering and sovereignty. Here at home, women’s body rights and voting rights. So much at stake.”
Harris also discussed President Joe Biden’s achievements, including signing the Inflation Reduction Act and the reduction of the unemployment rate from 6.2% when he took office in 2021 to 3.5% in July, according to figures released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Republican National Committee has dubbed the law as the “Bidenflation Scam Bill” and cited research from the Penn Wharton Budget Model that it would have a “statistically indistinguishable from zero” impact on inflation and would actually slightly increase inflation until 2024.
The White House claims it will lower costs for families, combat the climate crisis and reduce the deficit, which will help fight inflation.
The fundraiser is Harris’ only announced public appearance of her trip to Southern California.
Harris returned to Los Angeles Thursday after vacationing on the Hawaiian island of Kauai since Aug. 15. She was also at her Brentwood home Aug. 12-15.

Democrats should be worried. So long as the extreme progressives are running the party, people are going to continue to run from them.
Her father is Jamaican. I believe he taught it’s Stanford. Like Obama, she’s not African American. And his family owned slaves in Jamaica. She never mentions that she’s descended from slave owners.
VERDICTMissing context. The claims that Kamala Harris is a “cop” and that her “family owned slaves in Jamaica” are both missing essential context.

Harris? LOL
We hated this fake when she was in California (when she was South Asian instead of black).
People should remember she was extremely disliked by Democrat voters and was DEAD last in the primaries.
South Asian, Black, Chinese or whatever she may be competent but does not connect with folks. She has not done anything substantive to correct this deficit. Amy Klobuchar had similar credentials and connected.
How can anyone trust this woman. She was put in office as district attorney of San Francisco by the Roman Catholic Arch Diocese of San Francisco not to prosecute over 1,000 pedophile priests. Many are registered here in the Los Angeles and West Hollywood area. Sex perverts. She did the same thing when she was attorney general of California. But of course the Democrat party would elect anybody, including the Biden crime family.
Don’t forget her prosecution of pot smokers, then smoked it and laughed on AIR during a podcast.
My wish is that this wit*h would return to Canada where she was raised. She has about as much American identity as a Russian Cosmonaut that accidentally lands in Iowa.
