Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a keynote speech at the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.'s Grand Boulé event in Indianapolis, focusing on galvanizing support from Black voters.
Harris highlighted the contrast between future-oriented policies and past approaches, emphasizing her commitment to advancing the nation s future with the support of attendees.
Her 15-minute speech received enthusiastic applause from the approximately 6,000 Zeta Phi Beta members present, reflecting strong support for her campaign.
Harris praised President Joe Biden s accomplishments, including student loan debt relief, affordable childcare initiatives, and efforts to reduce prescription drug costs.
She mentioned Biden's planned address to the nation about his decision to step down from the 2024 race, noting his focus on ongoing work and achievements.
Harris criticized former President Donald Trump s Project 2025, a conservative transition plan led by the Heritage Foundation, positioning it against her vision for the country.
Both Harris s Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and Zeta Phi Beta are part of the "Divine Nine," a network of historically Black Greek organizations founded at Howard University.
A recent fundraising effort saw nearly 44,000 Black women contributing about $1.6 million, boosting the campaign s total to a record $126 million following Biden's endorsement of Harris.
