US presidential candidate Kamala Harris rallied supporters on Tuesday, urging them to reject the chaos and division she associates with Donald Trump as the US election campaign reaches its climax.
Speaking at a large rally in the heart of Washington, just south of the White House, the Democratic candidate painted former US president Trump as “unstable,” claiming he is “obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power.”
The current US vice president said Trump has spent the past decade dividing the US people and instilling fear among them.
“It is time to turn the page on the drama and conflict, the fear and division,” Harris said, calling for “a new generation of leadership in America.” “I pledge to be a president for all Americans. To always put country above party and above self,” Harris told the crowd.
The Democratic candidate promised to seek compromise and common-sense solutions, vowing to listen to those who may not agree with her or who choose not to support her.
Harris delivered her message at a historic site, the location where, on January 6, 2021, a crowd incited by Trump, who held a rally to promote baseless claims of election fraud, violently entered the building, killing five people. The events unravelled while the US Congress was in session to certify Joe Biden’s election victory.
Meanwhile, Trump’s supporters are seizing on comments made by Biden, whom they say called them “garbage,” while the US president said he was referring to the demonization of Puerto Ricans.
The comments sparked a flurry of pro and con comments on X.
