Vice President Kamala Harris brings her presidential campaign to the nation's capital on Tuesday, as she delivers what's being billed as her closing argument address to American voters.
With one week until Election Day, the vice president and Democratic presidential nominee will call on Americans to ‘turn the page’ on former President Trump, the Republican nominee.
And a senior Harris campaign adviser also said the vice president, in what's being touted as an optimistic and hopeful speech, will pledge to always put country and common ground above party to achieve results for all Americans.
According to her campaign, Harris plans to argue that Trump - who four years later continues to charge that his 2020 election defeat to President Biden was due to an election rigged with massive voter fraud - is all-consumed by his grievances and desire for retribution that he's not focused on the needs of Americans.
It's an argument the vice president has been spotlighting in recent days.
Based on excerpts from the speech which were released Tuesday afternoon Harris is expected to say, "Donald Trump has told us his Priorities for a second term. He has an Enemies List of people he intends to prosecute. He says one of his highest priorities is to set free the violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers on January 6th."
The Vice President is also planning to raise concerns about former President Trump's mental state with her campaign releasing a section of her remarks saying, "Donald Trump intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him. People he calls—quote—"the enemy from within. This is someone who is- Unstable- Obsessed with revenge- Consumed with grievance- And out for unchecked power."
