Kamala Harris’ ‘Closing Argument’ Speech Went Exactly as You’d Expect

On Tuesday night, Vice President Kamala Harris gave her “closing argument” speech at the Ellipse in Washington, DC, with the White House in the background. Although President Joe Biden was watching the speech, he alerted reporters earlier in the day that he would not be there in person and would not preview any of the speech. The speech that Harris gave was very much more of the same of what we’ve heard before, including with how she went after former and potentially future President Donald Trump.

Harris mentioned Trump’s name over a dozen times in her speech, which was approximately half an hour long. The opening moments of Harris’ speech mentioned Trump, in fact, after telling the crowd that “this election is more than just a choice between two parties and two different parties. It is a choice about whether we have a country rooted in freedom for every American, or ruled by chaos and division.”

In something of an amusing moment, which the Trump campaign quickly picked up on, sirens could be heard in the background as Harris claimed, “tonight, I will speak to everyone about the choice and the stakes in this election.”

She then claimed, “we know who Donald Trump is,” as she rambled about one of her favorite talking points: January 6, all while sirens could still be heard.
