Vice President Kamala Harris is facing renewed scrutiny over her past involvement with a bail fund that was used to support individuals arrested during the summer 2020 protests, according to a report published on Friday, July 5, 2024
This scrutiny comes as President Joe Biden’s presidency faces mounting challenges and calls for a potential leadership change within the Democratic Party.
In the summer of 2020, widespread protests erupted across the United States following the killing of George Floyd. These demonstrations, which were initially peaceful, saw instances of violence, looting, and property destruction in numerous cities.
According to estimates, the damages incurred amounted to approximately $2 billion. Amid these events, a bail fund was established to support individuals arrested during the protests, some of whom were charged with violent offenses.
