As the race for the U.S. presidency enters its final days, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed a crowd of over 75,000 supporters in Washington, delivering a powerful warning about former President Donald Trump. Speaking near the White House on Tuesday evening, Harris urged Americans to recognize what she characterized as the dangers posed by Trump’s return to power.
The rally site held a strong symbolic significance, located near the area where Trump addressed his supporters on January 6, 2021, shortly before the assault on the U.S. Capitol. Harris reminded the audience of the events that followed, stressing that Trump had allegedly sent an “armed mob” to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election results.
Harris depicted Trump as a leader driven by grievances and a thirst for vengeance, asserting that he sought “unchecked power.” Harris’s statements were presented as part of her campaign’s closing message, just one week ahead of the November 5 election.
According to Harris, the risk of Trump’s potential return to the White House lies not only in his policies but in his fixation on revisiting past conflicts. “This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance,” she said, emphasizing the contrast between her Democratic vision and what she described as Trump’s authoritarian tendencies.
As the high-stakes election looms, early voting is already underway, with more than 53 million ballots cast so far, as reported by Election Hub at the University of Florida. The outcome will determine the nation’s leader for the next four years, shaping the future of both domestic policies and international relations.
