Democrats are energized this weekend as they consider the possibility that Vice President Kamala Harris, a former prosecutor, might be taking the fight directly to ex-president and convicted felon Donald Trump.
Trump's own niece, Mary Trump, flagged a quote from Harris 2019.
"I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one. I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one," Harris said at the time. "I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them. I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him."

"This, my friends, is what they call a mic drop," Mary Trump said on Sunday, sharing a screen shot of the quote.
But she wasn't the only one to pick up on that same theme.
Democratic congressman (NY-10) Dan Goldman simply said, "November 5: the Prosecutor vs. the Felon."
@JoJoFromJerz wrote on social media, "A convicted felon rapist running to stay out of prison is going to lose to a female former prosecutor who put scumbags like him behind bars for a living."
Arizona congressman Greg Stanton chimed in:
"I’m proud to endorse [Harris]. The contrast in this race could not be clearer—a prosecutor versus a convicted felon. A champion for American’s fundamental freedoms versus a man who has tried to rip them away at every turn. Let’s get to work."
The anti-Trump conservative group known as the Lincoln Project also picked up on it.
"Prosecutor vs. a convicted felon. Which one do you think respects the rule of law?" the group asked.
