Vice President Kamala Harris is warning voters not to reelect former President Donald Trump, citing last month’s Supreme Court ruling that grants presidents absolute immunity for official actions.

Ms. Harris, the Democratic nominee, told rallygoers in Nevada over the weekend that there would be no check on Mr. Trump’s behavior if he is reelected, The Hill reported.

“So much is on the line in this election and understand, this is not 2016, this is not 2020. This time around, the stakes are even higher,” Ms. Harris said. “And that’s because last month the Supreme Court basically told the former president that going forward, he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the White House.”

On July 1, the justices ruled 6-3 that presidents enjoy absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken under their core official functions, presumed immunity for all official acts and no immunity for nonofficial acts.

Mr. Trump brought a challenge claiming he had absolute immunity from criminal prosecution against special counsel Jack Smith’s election fraud indictment pending in Washington.

The decision did not focus on Mr. Trump’s charges and instead set out guidelines for lower courts to consider and weigh when evaluating charges against a president.

But the Supreme Court’s decision was seen as a win for Mr. Trump, the Republican nominee, in that it delayed proceedings against him until likely after the Nov. 5 election.

It has left Trump critics frustrated.

Ms. Harris said Mr. Trump “vowed to be a dictator on Day One of reelection.”

“He said he will weaponize, essentially, the Department of Justice against his political enemies and even called for the ‘termination of the Constitution of the United States,’” Ms. Harris said.
