Kamala Harris, Presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, said, “as district attorney of San Francisco, I helped make California the first state to ban the “gay/trans panic” defense, which was often used to justify horrendous violence against the LGBTQ+ community.”

Harris added, “as U.S. Senator for California and Vice President of the United States, I have fought on behalf of all Americans”, adding, if elected next US President, “I will continue to do so”.
According to Harris: “I have fought for the people for my entire career.
As a young courtroom prosecutor in Oakland, I stood up for women and children against predators who abused them.
As district attorney of San Francisco, I helped make California the first state to ban the “gay/trans panic” defense, which was often used to justify horrendous violence against the LGBTQ+ community.
As attorney general of California, I took on the big banks and delivered $20 billion for middle-class families facing foreclosure. I stood up for veterans and students being scammed by big for-profit colleges, for workers who were being cheated out of the wages they were due, and for seniors facing elder abuse.
As U.S. Senator for California and Vice President of the United States, I have fought on behalf of all Americans—and I will continue to do so as president.
Together, we will build a brighter future for our nation.”
The US Presidential Election 2024 will take place on Tuesday 5 November, 2024; Harris will take on Donald Trump, Presidential candidate of the Republican Party for the Office of the US President.
