US Vice-President Kamala Harris launched her presidential campaign in Wisconsin, emphasizing the contrast between her background as a prosecutor and Donald Trump's criminal convictions.

US Vice-President Kamala Harris has launched her presidential campaign, directly challenging her Republican opponent Donald Trump. During her first rally in Wisconsin, Harris described the election as a choice between a former prosecutor and a convicted felon.

In her speech on Tuesday, Harris highlighted her prosecutorial background, recounting her experience in taking on perpetrators of various crimes. She asserted, "I know Donald Trump's type," following her recent endorsement from Democratic delegates which solidified her as the party's presumptive nominee.

Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts was referenced, emphasizing the legal contrast between the candidates. Harris also noted the essential role Wisconsin plays in securing the necessary electoral votes for the presidency.

President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race and subsequent endorsement of Harris has led to significant financial backing, with Harris' campaign reporting $100 million raised in just two days. Fundraisers marked a financial turnaround for the Democrats, anticipating continued support into the election.
