Harris says those who disagree with her will get a “seat at the table,” in contrast to Trump’s threats
From CNN’s Kaanita Iyer
Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday contrasted the leadership she seeks to bring to the Oval Office with that of her opponent Donald Trump, slamming the former president’s threats against his political rivals.
“Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe that people who disagree with me are the enemy,” Harris said during a campaign event in Atlanta. “He wants to put them in jail. I will give them a seat at the table.”
“That’s what real leaders do. That’s what strong leaders do,” she added.
Trump has routinely suggested he would weaponize the justice system to go after his political opponents if he returns to the White House. He has also threatened prosecution and “long term prison sentences” for election officials and political operatives, who he suggested could cheat in the 2024 election.
Harris’ vow to give those who disagree with her “a seat at the table” comes as she has said she would name a Republican to her Cabinet.
