Kamala Harris’ historic speech at Ellipse: Comparing visions with Trump
Harris Delivers Set Piece at Same Spot Trump Encouraged Jan. 6 Riot

Harris Taps into Trump’s Jan. 6 Rhetoric
Harris, standing before a massive crowd estimated to be around 75,000 people, directly addressed Trump’s role in the events of Jan. 6. She contrasted her vision for the country with Trump’s, stressing the risks of more chaos and division under a Trump presidency.
"We know who Donald Trump is"
As reported by CBS News, Harris reminded the crowd that Trump, standing at the exact same spot almost four years ago, encouraged his supporters to storm the Capitol, ultimately leading to multiple deaths and the unsuccessful attempt to halt the certification of President Biden’s victory.
Harris Promises a Different Path
The vice presidential hopeful emphasized her commitment to a different agenda, one that would>>
``NATURALLYtau--------change----intact>help-> those at the top".
"Donald Trump or I will be in the Oval Office in 90 days"
Harris, with a to-do list in mind, emphasized the stark contrast between her and Trump’s planned agendas. While Trump might walk into the Oval Office with an "enemies list," she envisions a to-do list full of priorities aimed at improving Americans’ lives.
Harris Attack on Trump’s Character and Vision
