Amy Coney Barrett 'will undo' Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy: Sen. Kamala Harris

In the days after she was named former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris said the run up to the election against President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence would be "a knockdown drag out." Now, Harris is gearing up for battle, laying out her clear opposition to Trump's nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court vacancy.

Harris, during remarks in North Carolina, called Trump's effort to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's chair a contradiction of Ginsburg's dying wish to be replaced by the next president, accusing Trump and the Republican Party of wielding their political power without regard for the desires of the American people.

"President Trump and his party don't care. They just want to jam this nomination through as fast as they can," Harris said. "It's called raw power."

Using sharp language, Harris later referred to Trump's presidency as an "infection" and called for voters to head to the polls as recourse.
