Biden angers Republicans by associating 'garbage' with Trump supporters

The remark is being compared to Hillary Clinton's 2016 "deplorables" comment.

As the race reaches one week until Election Day, Kamala Harris delivered her "closing argument" on The Ellipse -- in the same spot where Donald Trump rallied his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, to march on the U.S. Capitol nearby.

Trump tried to preempt Harris's remarks, speaking to reporters Tuesday morning at Mar-a-Lago after declaring he's "the opposite of a Nazi" on Monday night in Georgia. He holds a rally later in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where there is a large population of Puerto Rican Americans.

'President for all Americans': Harris appeals to voters in closing argument

Vice President Kamala Harris' closing argument took hits at her opponent, former President Donald Trump, but made a case for voters on both sides of the political aisle.

"Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail; I’ll give them a seat at the table," Harris said, referencing her campaign platform to include a Republican in her cabinet if elected.

"I pledge to you to approach my work with the joy and optimism that comes from making a difference in peoples' lives," Harris said.

"And I pledge to be a president for all Americans -- and to always put country above party and self," Harris added.


Harris invokes Trump's role in Jan. 6 riot at the Ellipse

Vice President Kamala Harris stressed former President Donald Trump's role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, while standing on the same stage he did that preceded the riot.

"We know who Donald Trump is. He is the person who stood at this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election," Harris said, adding, "An election that he knew he lost."

"Americans died as a result of that attack. 140 law enforcement officers were injured because of that attack," Harris said.


Harris says, 'It's time to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms'

At the top of her speech at the Ellipse Tuesday, Harris took shots at former President Donald Trump's recent rhetoric, specifically invoking his "enemy from within" comment.

"This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power. Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the American people divided and afraid of each other," Harris said.

"That is who he is, but America, I am here tonight to say, that is not who we are. That is not who we are," Harris added.

The vice president went on to call for unity across the nation.

"We have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms. It is time to turn the page on the drama and the conflict, the fear and division. It is time for a new generation of leadership in America," Harris said.
