With less than a week left until the 2024 US presidential election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final pitches to voters across the country, especially in battleground states.
The Democratic presidential candidate delivered his “closing argument” last night at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., the very same spot where President Trump told his supporters to “fight like hell” on January 6, 2021.
Harris urged Americans to finally “turn the page” on the “division, confusion, and mutual distrust” of the Trump era, calling her opponent a cynical figure susceptible to malign actors at home and abroad. Characterized as an opportunist, he offered himself as a positive alternative.

“The only garbage I see floating around out there is his supporters, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and un-American,” the president said on a Zoom call Tuesday. told Latinos.
“It goes completely against everything we’ve done and everything we’ve ever done.”
