Harris Casts Trump as Chaotic, Divisive in Her Speech at Jan. 6 Site
- Vice president draws over 75,000 for closing argument rally
- Democrat seeks to draw contrast with Trump in election closer
WATCH: Kamala Harris offers her closing argument from the National Mall one week before Election Day. (Excerpts)
Source: APTNDemocratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris argued a second Donald Trump presidency would be steeped in chaos and division — but not focused on Americans’ needs — as she looked to rally voters from the National Mall one week before Election Day.
The vice president sought to balance her closing argument between a dire admonition to rally against an opponent she’s labeled a fascist threat and an affirmative case for her own policy and economic agenda. The event’s location — the same spot where Republican nominee Trump rallied supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, and within eyeshot of the Oval Office — was intended both to evoke the mayhem of that day and the gravity of the election’s results.
