Harris warns of dangers of another Trump presidency in speech at Jan 6 site

It’s important that we do not go back to the horrible past policies under President Trump,

said Saul Schwartz, a former federal worker from Alexandria, Virginia

Joe Bidenpresident

The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's - his - his demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable and it's un-American."

According to a transcript posted by a White House spokesperson on X, Biden said

Joe Bidenpresident

Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage — which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable. That's all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don't reflect who we are as a nation."

Biden later posted on X, the social media site

She is everything that I always wanted in a president. She is joyous. She is real, she is powerful. And she is a woman,

said Danielle Hoffmann from Staten Island, New York

It's time for you guys ... to take a backseat because we're driving right now,

she said, addressing men in general

We have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms,

Harris told the Washington crowd on Tuesday and urged Americans to put divisions behind them

I’d like to begin with a very, very simple question: Are you better off now than you were four years ago? I’m here today with a message of hope for all Americans,

Trump said

Look, we know who Donald Trump is. He is the person who stood at this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election,

she said

Kamala’s first day in office was over 1,300 days ago, and she has spent the past four years working hand-in-hand with Joe Biden to destroy our country."

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt added

This is not a candidate for president who is thinking about how to make your life better,

she said, branding Trump a “petty tyrant” and “wannabe dictator.”

In less than 90 days, either Donald Trump or I will be in the Oval Office,

she said

Tonight, I will speak to everyone about the choice and the stakes in this election,

Vice President Harris said

Obviously I have a lot of reservations about voting for this candidate, because she hasn’t had the ability and doesn’t seem inclined to do anything

to cut off arm sales to Israel ... Hamdami said

I think the white guys are divided right now,

said Vaughn

This election is so important to me as a woman, as a Latina, as a Texan,

Garza said

The difference between this and the Trump rally? This is about fellowship, people coming together,

said Vaughn, who wore a “White Dudes for Harris” hat

We’re one week out but I always say all hands on deck,

said Lauanna Lison, a 60-year-old military retiree who was among the thousands who spilled from the Ellipse onto the gaping lawn in front of the Washington Monument

We’re feeling scared but hopeful,

said Marsha Tripp, a 73-year-old retired occupational therapist from Ohio

I’m excited, very excited, for Kamala Harris to become the first woman president,

she added

It is a choice about whether we have a country rooted in freedom for every American or ruled by chaos or division,

Harris said
