Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is currently campaigning for her election in various places and every speech includes Trump. She delivered a “final word” speech at a rally in Washington.
Harris took the stage, using a term in US legal practice that refers to the final arguments before a decision.
The rally title likely references Harris’s early career as California Attorney General and may hint at her opponent, Republican Donald Trump. Who currently faces several criminal investigations, including allegations of election interference.
Kamala Harris said, “We know who Donald Trump is. He is the person who stood at this very spot. Nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States capital to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election.”
Though Washington, D.C., leans heavily Democratic, Harris’s rally aimed to remind locals of the shock they felt when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“And election that he knew he lost. Americans died as a result of that attack. 140 law enforcement officers were injured because of that attack. And while Donald Trump sat in the white house watching as the violence unfold it on television. He was told by his staff that the mob wanted to kill his own vice president. And Donald Trump responded with two words ‘so what what,” she added.
“America that’s who Donald Trump is and that’s who is asking you to give him another four years in the OvalOffice. not to focus on your problems but to focus on his.”
During her speech, several protest groups shouted calls to end US arms supplies. And security escorted them away from the rally.

In her address, Harris again described Trump as “unhinged” and “unstable,” urging voters to “turn the page,” the central slogan of her campaign.
