Trump’s “lust for revenge” – Harris enters the finale with a dramatic appeal

Harris used the appearance before numerous supporters – according to organizers there were 75,000 – at the symbolic location to call for cohesion in the country just days before the elections and to warn against a new Trump presidency. She described her opponent as a “tyrant” and “so-called dictator.”

Memories of the violent Trump mob
Trump galvanized his supporters at the same point on January 6, 2021, with the baseless claim that Democrats robbed him of a victory in the 2020 presidential election through fraud. A violent mob then moved to nearby Capitol Hill and stormed the parliament building. There, Congress was formally confirming Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory over Trump.

Trump has not yet admitted his election defeat to Biden and continues to claim in the current election campaign that the Democrats wanted to steal a victory from him through unfair means. The elections will take place next Tuesday and there are concerns that similar upheavals to those that followed the 2020 elections could happen again. Trump’s statements during the election campaign raise serious doubts about whether he would accept defeat this time.

The US should not submit to a ‘tyrant’.
Harris said Trump sent an armed mob to the Capitol at the time. One of his priorities when he returns to the White House is to release the violent extremists of January 6, 2021 and take criminal action against his enemies.

Trump also wants to use the US military against Americans who disagree with him. Harris warned that previous generations had not only fought for basic freedoms to now subject the country to the will of a “tyrant.” And the US is not an arena for the behavior of ‘so-called dictators’.

Harris calls for an end to fear and division
“For ten years, Donald Trump has been trying to divide the American people and make them fear each other,” the 60-year-old criticized. This must end. “It is time for us to leave behind the drama and the conflict, the fear and the division.” It is time for a new generation of leadership in America.

“I promise to be a president for all Americans and to always put country before party and myself,” the Democrat shouted to the crowd. She wants to look for compromises and find common sense solutions. “I’m not perfect. I make mistakes,” Harris admitted. “But I promise I will always listen to you. Even if you don’t vote for me.’ She does not regard those who think differently as enemies.

No more lightness
Harris struck a serious tone during her appearance, while in recent weeks she had often tried to add some lightness and good humor to counterbalance Trump during campaign appearances. Thousands of people of all ages came to see her performance. They waited in long lines for hours before they could enter the site.

The mood was peaceful, many people waved American flags. The Democrat was repeatedly interrupted by chants of “Kamala.”

Harris wants to govern differently than Biden
Harris clearly tried to distance himself from Biden during the speech. She said it was an honor to be vice president. “But I will bring my own experiences and ideas to the Oval Office. My presidency will be different because the challenges we face are different.”

Trump rails against ‘invasion by criminals’
Trump’s campaign team criticized Harris’s performance as backward: she merely wanted to distract from her own failures during her Biden tenure. Trump himself appeared at the same time about 200 miles away in Allentown, in the particularly hotly contested and potentially decisive election state of Pennsylvania.

The 78-year-old completed his usual campaign program there. He vowed to end “the invasion of criminals” in the United States, accused Harris and Democrats of trying to destroy the country and said his election victory could be “the greatest moment in world history.”
