Harris warns of capitulation to unconstitutional threats
Former Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the Leading Women Defined Summit in Dana Point, California, on Thursday. She discussed the growing fear surrounding President Trump’s actions.
Harris criticized the silence of organizations and individuals in the face of what she called “unconstitutional threats.” She emphasized the ongoing challenges faced by the country in recent months.
“We’re seeing people stay quiet. We are seeing organizations stay quiet. We are seeing those who are capitulating to clearly unconstitutional threats. And these are the things we are witnessing. Each day in the last few months in our country. And it understandably creates a great sense of fear. Because you know there were many things we knew would happen,” Harris said at the Leading Women Defined Summit in Dana Point, California.
She added that these issues understandably created fear. Her remarks highlighted concerns over the state of the nation’s leadership.

New book reveals harris was blindsided by 2024 loss
A new book details how Harris was shocked by her loss in the 2024 election. According to the book, she “bought the hype” and believed she would win.

Previously, Harris warned of economic collapse during the 2024 election
A resurfaced CNN clip shows Kamala Harris predicting the negative consequences of Trump’s economic policies months before his tariff announcement. During a live debate, she warned voters of the risks.
In the video, you can hear Harris state: “What Goldman Sachs has said is that Donald Trump’s plan would make the economy worse,” Harris stated. “What the Wharton School has said is Donald Trump’s plan would actually explode the deficit.”
She also highlighted concerns from financial experts.
She added during the argument between her and Trump: “16 Nobel laureates have described his economic plan as something that would increase inflation, and by the middle of next year, would invite a recession. You just have to look at where we are and where we stand on the issues, and I’d invite you to know that Donald Trump actually has no plan for you, because he is more interested in defending himself than he is in looking out for you.”
Her warnings now seem prophetic as economists sound the alarm over rising inflation and a looming recession.
