Vice President Kamala Harris made her campaign’s closing argument in a speech in the nation’s capital on Tuesday evening, positing that she is a more stable candidate for the presidency than former President Donald Trump while seeking common ground.
The vice president tried to paint an optimistic and forward-looking picture, suggesting that her presidency would “turn the page” on the Trump era and offer a hopeful future for undecided voters, with calls to strengthen the economy and protect abortion access. She emphasized compromise, sought to separate herself from Washington elites, and promised to approach her work with optimism.
Trump’s campaign says his closing argument can be summed as: “Kamala broke it. Trump will fix it.”
