U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Presidential nominee, spoke to reporters on Sunday at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. Harris was returning to the Washington, D.C. area from New York. Vice President Kamala Harris raised $27 million at a packed New York City fundraiser on Sunday, her largest fundraising haul since she took over at the top of the ticket from President Joe Biden, according to a Harris campaign aide. Though Harris has far more money than former President Donald Trump, the money will be needed to compete with pricey advertising by deep-pocketed outside groups that support Trump, said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private fundraising details. The blockbuster fundraiser was held at Cipriani Wall Street in a massive Greek Revival ballroom with over a dozen columns. Much of the crowd stood shoulder to shoulder as Harris needled Trump for refusing to debate her again. "There's more to talk about and the voters of America deserve to hear the conversations I think we should be having on substance, on issues, on policy," Harris told reporters after landing outside Washington. Trump has rejected more debates, saying Saturday that "it's just too late." Harris also said she would deliver a speech Wednesday outlining her economic vision, saying there is "more we can do to invest in the aspirations and ambitions of the American people while addressing the challenges they face." She cited the high cost of home ownership and stubbornly high grocery bills as examples.
