Harris promises 'different path' at location of Trump's Jan. 6 speech

Harris' final presentation: What I would do on day one if elected

The night before Kamala Harris left on a final, multi-day tour through the key battleground states that will decide the 2024 presidential election, she delivered a final speech, virtually in the shadow of the White House .

The choice of location is not due to chance. Donald Trump held his rally on January 6, 2021 at the same location, speaking to his supporters just hours before thousands of them stormed the Capitol and disrupted the certification of Joe Biden's presidential victory.

On a balmy October night, Harris stood before what her campaign estimated would be 70,000 cheering supporters in an event they hope will be a counterpoint to that cold, violent January day.

And in the unlikely event that the symbolism was missed by anyone watching, Harris made it explicit at the start of his speech.

We know who Donald Trump is, she said Tuesday. He was the one who stood in this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election.

Harris, however, did not dwell on the January 6 riot. The venue did the heavy lifting, providing the subtext of the speech and the point from which Harris could pivot.

While she began with a dark warning against an unstable and unhinged Trump obsessed with revenge, she turned to focus on what she called her different path.

Acknowledging that many undecided American voters are still getting to know her after her short presidential campaign, Harris discussed highlights of her biography and upbringing.

She then outlined some of her key policy proposals, including reducing the cost of housing, expanding the child tax credit, and adding home care coverage to government-provided health insurance. for the elderly.

She spent even more time talking about abortion and the need to pass legislation that makes the nation's abortion rights a particularly important area for Democrats compared to Republican opponents.

It was actually a stripped-down version of his speech at the Democratic National Convention, which accompanied the late August speech that the campaign presented as an introduction to Americans.

Democrats were in fine form then, enthusiastic about their new candidate after weeks of discouragement and infighting that led Biden to abandon his re-election bid.

Since then, Harris' campaign has had its ups and downs, and she is now stuck in what is shaping up to be a photo finish next week.

If the polls are accurate, Harris still has work to do to win over undecided Americans and this speech was her latest and greatest effort to do so on a prominent stage, with the White House over her shoulder.

Aside from his biographical highlights and policy details, the message his campaign seems to want voters to have in mind on Election Day is one of contrasts between division and unity; bitterness versus hope; partisanship or cooperation; past versus future.

I am committed to seeking common ground and common-sense solutions to improve your life, Harris said. I'm not trying to score political points. I'm looking to progress.

However, as she delivered her speech, the current resident of the building behind her made comments that illustrated how difficult her task could be.

Biden, speaking about a mocking joke about Puerto Rico that a comedian made at a Trump rally on Sunday, appeared to call Trump supporters trash.

The president later claimed he was only referring to comments made by the rally's speaker. But video of his remarks is unclear and the episode was already distracting from Harris' event on Tuesday night.

It's just one more hurdle for Harris to overcome, while easing Americans' concerns about the economy and immigration — where polls indicate Trump has the advantage.

She also tried to answer these questions in her speech, although they seemed to take a back seat to loftier language and pointed attacks.

His speech framed the election in a way that worked to his advantage. Next Tuesday, we will reveal whether a majority of the American public, or at least a plurality in a sufficient number of key battleground states, agrees.
