NYN | Reports and Analyses
Kamala Harris launched a scathing attack on U.S. President Donald Trump, accusing his administration of being among the most corrupt and weakest in American history, during a speech delivered at a Democratic Party event in Detroit.
Direct Accusation Against Netanyahu of Expanding the War
Harris asserted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played a central role in pushing Trump toward engaging in war with Iran, noting that this escalation lacks support from the American public and places U.S. armed forces at increasing risk.
War as a Cover for Internal Scandals
In a notable escalation of rhetoric, Harris argued that the military campaign against Iran is merely an attempt to divert attention from sensitive domestic issues—chief among them the scandals linked to American businessman Jeffrey Epstein, in addition to what she described as widespread administrative corruption within the Trump administration.
Declining U.S. Global Role
She pointed out that Trump’s foreign policies have weakened the United States’ standing on the international stage, stressing that he is the first president since World War II to abandon responsibilities in protecting alliances, leading to an erosion of allies’ trust in Washington.
Domestic Repercussions and Electoral Pressures
Harris linked the military escalation to internal crises, explaining that involvement in war has negatively affected key issues such as the economy, healthcare, and abortion rights—matters that directly impact American voters.
Betting on Upcoming Elections
She expressed confidence in the Democratic Party’s ability to achieve significant gains in the upcoming midterm elections, arguing that what she described as current administrative disarray will directly influence voter choices.
Call to Restore “Moral Leadership”
Harris concluded her remarks by emphasizing the need for the United States to restore its moral leadership globally, rather than engaging in conflicts that, in her words, serve personal agendas at the expense of international security and stability.
