She emphasized the necessity of courage in confronting fear and cautioned about potential challenges ahead under Trump’s administration.

She stated, “When one person, or a few, exhibit courage, it reflects the bravery shown by the leaders in this room every day.

“It takes courage to acknowledge fear, to declare that what is happening is unjust, and to assert that we must find a path forward.

“We must recognize our power within the democracy we still possess, if we choose to uphold it.

“Courage is contagious.” Harris proceeded to criticize the Trump administration and its governance of the nation.

She remarked, “We are witnessing organizations remain silent, and individuals yielding to clearly unconstitutional threats. These are the realities we have observed in recent months.

“This understandably breeds a significant sense of fear, as we anticipated many of these developments.”

Harris concluded with a light-hearted remark, saying, “I’m not here to say I told you so,” which elicited laughter and applause from the audience.

Representative Jamie Raskin also commented on Harris’s address.He expressed views similar to those of Harris and responded to critical remarks from voters who claimed that the Democrats had become inactive since their electoral defeat.
