Harris On Her Warnings About Trump: 'Not Here To Tell You I Told You So'

Former Vice President Kamala Harris addressed President Donald Trump's second term in office, saying she warned Americans about what would happen under his administration.

On Thursday (April 3), Harris delivered remarks at the Leading Women Defined Summit in Dana Point, California, per HuffPost. The summit was founded by former BET CEO Debra Lee and aims to empower women of color.

“There were many things we knew were gonna happen,” Harris said, referencing the warnings she issued to Americans before she lost the 2024 presidential election to Trump.

“I’m not gonna say ‘I told you so,’” she added, prompting the crowd to erupt in applause and cheers.

Harris emphasized how progress and policies have been "rolled back" in less than 100 days of Trump's second presidential term.

“This is a very different time than in 2016,” Harris said. “A lot has changed.”

“We are seeing people stay quiet. We are seeing organizations stay quiet. We are seeing capitulating to clearly unconstitutional threats,” she continued.

Thus far, Trump has rescinded dozens of former President Joe Biden's executive orders, led the charge on the elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, laid off thousands of federal employees, announced wide-ranging global tariffs, and more.

On Thursday, Harris acknowledged the "great power" of those who attended the summit to lead the nation in courage instead of fear.

“There’s great power in this room. And yes, the world is watching,” Harris said. “But more importantly, there are people counting on us — to be kind, to be fierce, and to be together.”
