LIVE COVERAGE of @KamalaHarris’s remarks from Washington airing LIVE on CBSN: CBSNews.com/live

In her remarks, @KamalaHarris references the #JacobBlake shooting and recent deaths of others and says, “the reality is that the life of a Black person in America has never been treated as fully human. And we have yet to fulfill that promise of equal justice under law.”

Harris said that the parents of people killed in recent shootings “will have a seat at the table” if Biden-Harris wins in November.

Harris says the @GOPconvention has had one purpose: “To feed Donald Trump’s ego. To make him feel good. But here’s the thing, he’s the president of the United States and it’s not supposed to be about him.”

“Donald Trump has failed at the most basic and important job of president of the United States. He failed to protect the American people.” - @KamalaHarris, in remarks from @GWtweets in DC.

“President Trump, he got it wrong from the beginning, and then he got it wrong again and again. And the consequences have been catastrophic,” @KamalaHarris says.

Harris says Trump failed because “he was fixated on the stock market over fixing the problem.” Second, “he caved” instead of taking on China early on.

“Instead of rising to meet the most difficult moment of his presidency, Donald Trump froze. He was scared and he was petty and vindictive,” Harris says. She recalls that the president told governors early in the pandemic to fend for themselves for PPE and other equipment.

KEEP THIS HANDY: @KamalaHarris says that when it comes to #COVID19, “As President, @JoeBiden will put a plan into affect on day one.”
