Harris urges US to turn page on Trump 'chaos' in mass White House rally
Against the brilliant backdrop of the White House, Kamala Harris made a compelling closing appeal to voters Tuesday, calling on them to write the "next chapter" for their nation and reject Donald Trump's instability and divisiveness.
The Democratic vice president warned against Trump's lust for "unchecked power" as she addressed a mass rally at the site where her Republican rival riled up a mob before the deadly January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol.
"This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power," she said in the speech, exactly a week before Americans go to the polls in the most dramatic and divisive election of modern times.
But Harris then pivoted to an optimistic vision of America's future, using the setting of the White House lit up against the night behind her as a symbolic pitch to show that she is ready for the presidency.
"America, I am here tonight to say: that's not who we are," Harris told the huge crowd of flag-waving supporters.
"Each of you has the power to turn the page, and start writing the next chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told."
Harris's campaign claimed 75,000 people attended the rally. The number could not be immediately verified, but the crowd was unusually big in an election that has already seen heavy enthusiasm on both sides.
