Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, took the stage to raucous applause from convention attendees and grew emotional, wiping tears from her eyes before she began speaking.
In her remarks, the Massachusetts Democrat took aim at Trump for his conviction by a New York jury in late May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and ongoing legal issues related to the 2020 presidential election.
“Donald Trump, the felon, has no plan to lower costs for families. He doesn’t know how, and basically, he doesn’t really care,” she told convention attendees. “When did he ever fill up a gas tank or worry about a grocery bill? The only bills he worries about are from his criminal defense lawyers”
Warren went on to praise Harris for her economic policies and highlighted her efforts targeting price gouging during California wildfires and the COVID-19 pandemic.
“You know what I love best about Kamala Harris? Kamala Harris can’t be bought and she can’t be bossed around,” Warren said.
The senator said she wouldn’t trust Trump or Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance to look out for families on issues including the price of groceries, gas, housing, health care, taxes and abortion.
“Shoot, I wouldn’t trust those guys to move my couch,” she said, a reference to a joke about Vance that went viral on social media.
Warren faced off against Harris, Mr. Biden and a wide field of candidates in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.
