On a cool fall afternoon Kamala Harris spoke to an over-flowing crowd at DCs Ellipse presenting her final pre-election message (the same location where troubling events unfolded about 3 years ago)
The vice-president highlighted her background as a tough-minded prosecutor: “Theres something about people being treated unfairly or overlooked that just gets to me.“ Her law-enforcement experience includes:
- Taking on financial fraudsters
- Prosecuting violent criminals
- Fighting human-trafficking networks
- Protecting vulnerable communities
I will always listen to you‚ even if you dont vote for me
In her half-hour speech Harris laid out a detailed day-one agenda - including home-buyer assistance medicare expansion and border-security measures. She specifically pointed to reproductive rights: stating her commitment to restore protections removed by the Supreme Court about 2 years back
The crowd stretched from the White House grounds to the Washington Monument demonstrating significant support for Harris campaign which started just 3 months ago. Her team confirmed it was their largest rally yet
Her upcoming schedule includes quick-fire visits to key states:
* Wisconsin
* North Carolina
* Pennsylvania
* Arizona
* Nevada
The speech took an unexpected turn when she addressed her opponent directly calling him a “petty tyrant“ - focused more on personal grievances than peoples needs
