The vice president, speaking to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, criticized what she said were GOP efforts to curtail rights.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris told Black lawmakers Saturday night that their Republican opponents are intent on rolling back progress achieved by Black Americans, saying it is critical to mobilize and organize to help Harris prevail in the November election.

Harris warned that Republican nominee Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), disdained the vision of an America that included “a promise of freedom, opportunity and justice — not just for some, but for all.”

“Today, that vision, our vision, is under profound threat,” she said at a dinner of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. “While we move — and fight to move — our nation toward a brighter future, Donald Trump and his extremist allies want to move our nation backward.”
