Description
Vice President Kamala Harris is telling voters they have a chance to chart a “new way forward” as Americans this November. Harris introduced herself to voters and prosecuted her case against Republican Donald Trump Thursday night as she accepted her party’s nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Harris urged voters to think about "the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House," spelling out specific details of the events of January 6th, 2021. "Donald Trump tried to throw away your votes. When he failed, he sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol, where they assaulted law enforcement officers. When politicians in his own party begged him to call off the mob and send help, he did the opposite. He fanned the flames."
Harris warned the country about what Trump may do if he is elected in 2024. "Consider what he intends to do if we give him power again. Consider his explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers at the Capitol. His explicit intent to jail journalists, political opponents and anyone he sees as the enemy. His explicit intent to deploy our active duty military against our own citizens," she said.
Harris also said Trump "would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United States. Not to improve your life, not to strengthen our national security, but to serve the only client he has ever had. Himself." And she repeated several times, "we are not going back."
