Harris delivers closing arguments to voters on the National Mall

(NewsNation) — Vice President Kamala Harris delivered to her closing message of the campaign, which asks Americans to ‘turn the page’ on the era of former President Donald Trump.

Her appearance on the National Mall was the culmination of the messages she delivered during her campaign. She advocated for voters with a focus on Republican voters who are undecided about voting for Trump and his supporters former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley who are unsure how to vote.

“My presidency will be different because the challenges we face will be different,” Harris told the crowd, pledging to work with Democrats, Republicans and independents to make life better for Americans.

“I promise to look for common ground and common sense solutions to make your lives better,” she added.

The event was held in a strategic location in front of the White House for two reasons.

When will we know the results of the presidential election?

One of these is to paint a picture of the choice in the presence of the Americans.

The second is a reminder of 2021, when her speech was delivered from the same spot where Trump spoke his supporters on January 6, 2021just before the riots at the US Capitol.

The latest Decision Desk HQ poll shows the race is still neck and neck. As of Tuesday morning, Harris had a 0.8% lead based on 305 polls. Yesterday it was Harris with 48.5% and Trump with 48%, still well within the margin of error.

Some Democratic lawmakers and strategists have said they are concerned that Harris is focusing so heavily on Trump and taking time away from other major campaign issues such as the economy, immigration, health care and abortion.

A pro-Harris super PAC called Future Forward has warned that attacking Trump’s character or staying power is less effective than Harris highlighting her own policy proposals.

Voters have also indicated they want to hear more about her specific policy plans. Others have said they don’t like the fear mongering and feel it contrasts with her vision of a positive, bright view of America.

However, the campaign said Harris chose to deliver her closing argument on the National Mall to create a stark contrast between her and her opponent.

“I have lived the promise of America and I see the promise of America in all of you,” she said during Tuesday’s speech.
