During a speech at the Ellipse near the White House, Kamala Harris presented her closing argument to voters, contrasting her vision with the previous administration under Donald Trump. The location of the speech, chosen deliberately by Harris, served as a backdrop to emphasize the different choices facing Americans.
Harris, drawing on her background as a prosecutor, highlighted her commitment to protecting the people and fighting against injustice. She acknowledged that some voters are still getting to know her, but assured them that she would always listen, regardless of their political affiliation.
Discussing her policy priorities, Harris outlined plans to assist first-time homeowners, support the 'sandwich generation,' and advocate for abortion rights. She also pledged to address border security and undo restrictions on abortion imposed by the Supreme Court.
The event drew a large crowd, with supporters filling the Ellipse and extending onto the National Mall. Harris took the opportunity to criticize Trump, labeling him a 'petty tyrant' driven by personal grievances.
Despite the speech being framed as a campaign finale, Harris is set to continue her outreach efforts in key battleground states, including Wisconsin, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada. The campaign aims to appeal to a diverse range of voters in the lead-up to Election Day.
