Kamala Harris slams Trump in speech from vice president's residence, takes no questions from press

Vice President Kamala Harris slammed former President Trump in a speech from the vice president's residence on Wednesday but declined to take questions from the press.

Harris still hasn't held a news conference since emerging as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.

Harris' speech was in reaction to a recent interview with John Kelly, former White House chief of staff where Kelly claimed Trump had said he wanted generals who were loyal to him like Hitler had.

"It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler," Harris said. "This is a window into who Donald Trump really is from the people who know him best."

Reporters shouted questions as Harris left podium after speaking for under 5 minutes.

Harris is scheduled to participate in a town hall on CNN Wednesday evening in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a statement in response to Harris' remarks.

"Kamala Harris is a stone-cold loser who is increasingly desperate because she is flailing, and her campaign is in shambles. That is why she continues to peddle outright lies and falsehoods that are easily disproven," he said. "The fact is that Kamala's dangerous rhetoric is directly to blame for the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump and she continues to stoke the flames of violence all in the name of politics. She is despicable and her grotesque behavior proves she is wholly unfit for office."
