Harris References January 6 Riots, Characterizes Trump as a ‘Petty Tyrant’ in Closing Argument Speech

Kamala Harris Declares Trump a "Petty Tyrant" in Closing Argument Speech at The Ellipse

In a powerful closing argument delivered at The Ellipse in Washington, D.C., Vice President Kamala Harris painted former President Donald Trump as a dangerous "petty tyrant" focused solely on his self-interest. Speaking to a crowd of over 75,000 supporters on the eve of the election, Harris invoked the January 6 riots, stating that Trump had "sent an armed mob to overturn a free and fair election" at the very site where she stood. "Americans died as a result of that attack," she emphasized, urging the audience to recognize the stakes of the upcoming election.

Harris’s speech was a multifaceted appeal to voters, touching on critical issues such as immigration, reproductive rights, and the economy. She vowed to "quickly remove" illegal immigrants if elected president, echoing a key focus of Trump’s campaign. "When I am president, we will prosecute the cartels and give border patrol the support they desperately need," she declared, positioning herself as a candidate who would take decisive action on immigration.

As she concluded her address, Harris called on Americans to "turn the next page and start writing the next chapter" in the nation’s story. "In seven days, we have the power, each of you has the power, to turn the page," she said, rallying her supporters for the final push before Election Day.

Meanwhile, Trump was holding a campaign rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he continued to assert his dominance in the race. His campaign has faced backlash following derogatory comments made about Puerto Rico at a recent rally, which have drawn criticism from both sides of the political aisle.

In a related development, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized the Supreme Court’s decision to keep his name on the ballot in key swing states, claiming it undermines election integrity. Kennedy, who recently endorsed Trump after ending his independent campaign, urged voters in Michigan and Wisconsin to support the former president instead of him.

As the election approaches, both candidates are ramping up their efforts to sway undecided voters. Harris’s campaign has seen a surge in support, particularly among Latino voters, following the backlash against Trump’s comments. The vice president’s outreach efforts have included endorsements from prominent figures, including a Michigan Republican and even Barbara Pierce Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush.

With just days left until the election, the stakes are high, and both candidates are making their final appeals to the American electorate. Harris’s assertive stance against Trump and her call for unity resonate with many voters who are eager for change, while Trump’s rallying cry for his base continues to energize his supporters. As the nation prepares to head to the polls, the outcome remains uncertain, with both candidates vying for victory in a deeply divided political landscape.
