Kamala Harris released her first official presidential campaign ad on Thursday featuring the mugshot of her Republican rival, Donald Trump.
“In this election, we each face a question,” the vice president says in a voiceover as Beyoncé’s song “Freedom” plays. “What kind of country do we want to live in? There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate,” she says over images of Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance.
“But us? We choose something different—we choose freedom,” Harris says in the ad, her first since announcing her bid for the Democratic nomination over the weekend. “The freedom not just to get by, but get ahead. The freedom to be safe from gun violence. The freedom to make decisions about your own body.”
