In a speech billed as her first keynote since her 2024 election loss, former Vice President Kamala Harris accused the Trump administration Saturday of not paying attention to Americans’ cost of living concerns and called for a “revival of the American dream” as she addressed a packed ballroom in Little Rock.

Harris’ remarks at the Democratic Party of Arkansas’ annual Fisher Shackelford Dinner came as the former party standard-bearer mulls a possible third run for president in 2028. Her remarks occurred before a reported shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, which President Donald Trump was attending for the first time as president before he was evacuated.

The president was unharmed, according to the Secret Service and posts on Trump’s social media accounts.

While much of Harris’ speech focused on criticism of her former campaign foe and his administration, she also urged Democrats to look beyond him toward a “revival of the American Dream” where workers could afford homes, groceries, childcare and vacations.

Does this stupid security lapse suddenly mean that Trump is now paying attention to Americans' cost of living concerns? Of course not!

Are we to believe that had she known the Secret Service was going to fuck up another Presidential Security assignment she wouldn't have pointed out that shit bag cares nothing for average Americans?
