周二，副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯在华盛顿椭圆广场为她竞选总统做了最后一次陈述，她给出了乐观和充满希望的信息，重点是前进。
站在白宫的背景下，哈里斯提供了她和前总统唐纳德·特朗普之间的分屏，并敦促选民通过承诺将国家置于政党之上来“翻过特朗普时代的一页”。
“这是一个不稳定的人，痴迷于报复，充满委屈，追求不受制约的权力。唐纳德·特朗普花了十年时间试图让美国人民保持分裂和相互恐惧，”她说。
她批评特朗普使用“内部敌人”的语言来描述政治对手，称他“不稳定”并且“充满不满”。
谈到她对美国人的承诺，她承诺“寻求共同点和常识性的解决方案，让你们的生活变得更好。我不想获得政治分数。我希望取得进步。”
“我们必须停止相互指责，开始手挽手。是时候翻开戏剧、冲突、恐惧和分裂的新篇章了。现在是美国新一代领导人的时候了，”哈里斯说。
“我不认为与我意见不同的人是敌人，”她说。“他想把他们关进监狱。我会给他们一个座位。”
根据国家公园管理局(National Park Service)批准的许可证，预计约有4万人参加活动——根据上周发给该活动的许可证，预计将有2万人参加。
哈里斯坚定地表示，演讲的地点在国家广场附近，也就是特朗普在奥巴马总统就职前发表讲话的地方2021年1月6日，袭击在美国国会大厦——是为了提醒美国人在哈里斯和川普之间做出选择，以及谁将入主白宫。
“我会更多地从我身后的背景来考虑这个地方，这就是白宫。我在那里做这件事，因为我认为对美国人民来说，看到并思考谁将在1月20日占据那个位置是非常重要的。”对CBS新闻的诺拉·安东内尔说.
“事实上，大多数美国人都能想象出椭圆形办公室的样子。我们在电视上看过，这是一个真实的场景。要么是唐纳德·特朗普，要么是我坐在椭圆形办公室的坚决办公桌后面。”
还有一周选举今天，哈里斯和特朗普都在努力向尚未决定的选民发出最后的呼吁，预计这将是一场势均力敌的比赛。
哈里斯的竞选团队表示，她希望将特朗普描绘成一个被他的不满和无尽的报复欲望所吞噬的人，强调他发誓要追捕他的“敌人名单”上的人，以及这与哈里斯关注她的“待办事项”形成了鲜明对比。这是她经常在竞选演说中加入的信息。
”他满腹委屈。他充满了关于报复和复仇的黑暗语言，所以美国人民有一个选择。哈里斯周日在费城的竞选活动中对记者说:“要么是这样，要么是我在那里，专注于我的待办事项清单，专注于美国人民，并通过这一清单的目标和计划来改善美国人民的生活。”。
她的结案陈词强调了她所说的美国人希望通过强调她对国家的计划和优先事项，即经济，来“翻过特朗普的一页”。副总统承诺降低成本，并在她的“机会经济”中优先考虑中产阶级。
在椭圆形办公室发表演讲后，哈里斯计划在竞选的最后几天里，在纵横交错的战场州之间传递这一信息。这些活动将围绕着一系列“动员投票”音乐会展开。
“我花时间在所有社区，以确保他们直接听到我的声音，这样他们就可以以一种未经过滤的方式做出自己的判断。我会继续这样做。我不会在这次选举中留下任何东西，不会留下任何东西，”哈里斯本月早些时候在接受MSNBC采访时说。
Harris' closing argument: 'Turn the page and start writing the next chapter'
Vice President Kamala Harris made her final case for her bid for the presidency on Washington, D.C.'s Ellipse on Tuesday where she gave an optimistic and hopeful message focused on moving forward.
Standing with the White House in the background, Harris offered a split screen between her and former President Donald Trump and urgedvoters to "turn the page" on Trump's era by pledging to put country over party.
"This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power. Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the American people divided and afraid of each other," she said.
She criticized Trump for the "enemy within" language he has used to describe political opponents, saying he is "unstable" and "consumed with grievance."
Pivoting to her promise to Americans, she was pledged "to seek common ground and common sense solutions to make your lives better. I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress."
"We have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms. It is time to turn the page on the drama and the conflict, the fear and division. It is time for a new generation of leadership in America," Harris said.
"I don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy," she said. "He wants to put them in jail. I'll give them a seat at the table."
About 40,000 people were expected to attend the event, according to an approved permit from the National Park Service -- an increase from the 20,000 people who were expected to attend, according to the permit issued to the campaign last week.
Harris has adamantly said that the speech's location near the National Mall -- the same spot where Trump delivered remarks prior to theJan.6, 2021, attackson the U.S. Capitol -- was to remind Americans of their choice between Harris and Trump and who would go on to the White House.
"I would and do think about that place more in the context of what will be behind me, which is the White House. And I'm doing it there, because I think it is very important for the American people to see and think about who will be occupying that space on Jan. 20," Harris recentlysaid to CBS News' Norah O'Donnell.
"The reality of it is that most Americans can visualize the Oval Office. We've seen it on television, and this is a real scenario. It's either going to be Donald Trump or it's going to be me sitting behind the resolute desk in the Oval Office."
With a week untilElectionDay, both Harris and Trump are working to make their final appeals to undecided voters in what is expected to be a close contest.
Harris' campaign said she wanted to paint Trump as someone who is consumed by his grievances and an endless desire for retribution, highlighting his pledge to go after those on his "enemies list" and how it contrasts with Harris' focus on her "to-do list." It's a message she often incorporates into her stump speech.
"He is full of grievances. He is full of dark language that is about retribution and revenge, and so the American people have a choice. It is either going to be that, or it'll be me there, focused on my to-do list, focused on the American people, and getting through that list of goals and plans to improve the lives of the American people," Harris said to reporters on Sunday while campaigning in Philadelphia.
Her closing argument highlighted what she claims is a desire for Americans to "turn the page" from Trump by stressing her plans and priorities for the country, namely the economy. The vice president has promised to bring down costs and prioritize the middle class in her "opportunity economy."
Following her speech on the Ellipse, Harris plans to take this message on the road to while crisscrossing through battleground states in the campaign's final days. The events will be centered along a get-out-the-vote concert series.
"I'm spending time in all communities to make sure that they hear directly from me, so they can judge for themselves in a way that is unfiltered. And I'm going to continue doing that. I am leaving nothing on the field in this election, leaving nothing on the field," Harris said in an interview with MSNBC earlier this month.
