Vice President Kamala Harris rallied a crowd of 75,000 at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, urging Americans to "turn the page" on Trump. With the White House as a backdrop, Harris referenced Trump's words from his 2021 speech at the same site, where he had urged supporters to contest the 2020 election results — a call that led to the January 6 Capitol attack. "Donald Trump intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him — people he calls 'the enemy from within,'" Harris said during a passage of her speech.
Harris went on to frame her candidacy as a pivot to a "new generation of leadership" and promised to focus on practical solutions, contrasting her approach with what she called Trump's "revenge-driven agenda." She vowed to be "a voice for the people" and assured voters of her commitment to "seek common ground," addressing issues such as high prescription drug costs, affordable housing and tax cuts for middle-class Americans.
