Here in the United States, Kamala Harris has delivered the last major speech of her campaign for the presidency. On Tuesday, Harris rallied tens of thousands of supporters on the National Mall for a “closing argument” in which she called herself a “protector” of U.S. democracy and warned of the threat of a second Trump term.

Vice President Kamala Harris: “Those who came before us, the patriots at Normandy and Selma, Seneca Falls and Stonewall, on farmlands and factory floors, they did not struggle, sacrifice and lay down their lives only to see us cede our fundamental freedoms. They didn’t do that only to see us submit to the will of another petty tyrant.”

Harris spoke from the Ellipse, the same venue where on January 6, 2021, Trump incited a mob of supporters to attack the Capitol to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory. Harris’s campaign said 75,000 people attended Tuesday night’s event — significantly larger than Trump’s rally ahead of the insurrection.
