Former Vice President Kamala Harris will give her first major speech since leaving office Wednesday and is expected to bash President Donald Trump as he reaches his 100th day in office.

Harris gave remarks earlier this month at a leadership summit for black women in California and at the NAACP Image Awards in February, but her speech to Emerge, an organization that seeks out Democratic women who want to run for office, will be her most extensive remarks since leaving the vice presidency.

The former vice president inspired the group, which formed following her campaign for San Francisco district attorney in the early 2000s. The California gala marks its 20th anniversary and will feature speakers including former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who is running for Virginia governor, and Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who is running for U.S. Senate.

“Vice President Harris is the original Emerge woman,” Emerge President and CEO A’shanti F. Gholar said in a statement. “She continues to be a champion for Emerge and an advocate for elevating women in elected office.”

Harris is expected to criticize Trump sharply, suggest his economic policies are reckless, and direct attention to what she will say is the crisis facing America’s institutions, according to CNN, which first reported the speech. She will double down on the theme, “Courage is contagious.”

HOW KAMALA HARRIS PLOWED THROUGH $1 BILLION

There has been speculation about Harris’s political future after she lost the 2024 presidential election, dropping both the electoral and popular vote to Trump. She said at the leadership summit that she would continue in politics, without specifying which office. She also said, “I’m not here to say, ‘I told you so,’ I swore I wasn’t going to say that.”

Harris could run for president in 2028 or California governor in 2026. She is considering both moves, but a run for governor will likely eliminate the prospect of her running for president two years later.
