Former Vice President Kamala Harris visited Pacific Palisades to assess damage from significant wildfires that destroyed over 6,000 structures. This was her first visit since the fire disaster and few public appearances since leaving office. She discussed the challenges facing local communities in rebuilding, while emphasizing the need for support. Harris also hinted at potential political ambitions, stating she would engage with local leaders following Governor Gavin Newsom's term limit. Her visit followed one by former President Trump, highlighting the ongoing response to the crisis.
You can smell the smoke that was here, Ms. Harris said. You can feel the toxicity, frankly, of the environment. You can feel the energy of all of the folks who are still here on the ground doing the work of trying to make this area safe.
My plans are to be in touch with my community, to be in touch with the leaders and figure out what I can do to support them.
