‘More chaos’: First excerpts released of Kamala Harris' closing arguments speech in D.C.

Vice President Kamala Harris will try to once again set herself apart from Donald Trump when she delivers her closing argument speech Tuesday night at the Ellipse in Washington D.C. – the site of the former president’s Jan. 6, 2021, remarks that followed the Capitol riot and insurrection attempt.

“America, we know what Donald Trump has in mind. More chaos. More division. And policies that help those at the very top and hurt everyone else. I offer a different path. And I ask for your vote,” Harris will say, according to early excerpts released of the speech.

In her address to the country, which comes a week before Election Day, Harris will offer a promise to the American people.

“I pledge to seek common ground and common sense solutions to make your lives better. I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress. I pledge to listen to experts. To those who will be impacted by the decisions I make. And to people who disagree with me,” according to the first excerpts.

She will also seek to distinguish herself from Trump, whose campaign is on the offensive amid fallout from disturbing and racist remarks that emerged from his controversial New York City rally.

“Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail. I’ll give them a seat at my table. And I pledge to be a president for all Americans. To always put country above party and above self.”
