California Senator Kamala Harris has announced her candidacy for president in 2020. The senator who was first elected in 2016 has been anti-Trump since the beginning.
According to Fox News:
California Sen. Kamala Harris announced Monday she is running for president, joining a fast-growing crowd of Democrats jumping into the 2020 race.
“I’m running for president of the United States, and I’m very excited about it,” Harris, 54, told ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Harris paired the announcement with the release of a campaign video on Twitter in which she said, “Truth. Justice. Decency. Equality. Freedom. Democracy. These aren’t just words. They’re the values we as Americans cherish. And they’re all on the line now.”
“The future of our country depends on you and millions of others lifting our voices to fight for our American values,” Harris said. “That’s why I’m running for president of the United States.”

Harris has led the charge in opposing President Trump’s judicial nominees by strongly questioning them. This tactic could have been to raise her profile among voters.
