Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her closing arguments in a speech at the Ellipse in Washington D.C. — where then-President Donald Trump encouraged a mob of his supporters to march to the Capitol – to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Stef Kight, political reporter for Axios, breaks down the pitch Harris is making to voters in the final week of the presidential race. The fallout from Trump’s anti-Puerto Rican remarks in Madison Square Garden continues. The chairman of the Puerto Rico GOP said he won’t vote for Trump unless he apologizes. The Archbishop of Puerto Rico, Roberto O. González Nieves, has also asked Trump to “personally apologize” for the comments. But Trump did not. And in headlines: Steve Bannon was released from federal prison, the Supreme Court actually rejected R-F-K junior’s attempt to get off Michigan and Wisconsin’s ballots, and the Israeli Parliament passed two laws that would cut ties with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.
It's Wednesday, October 30th.
I'm Jane Costen, and this is what a Day.
The show that also turned down $3 million to appear at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally.
Just like rapper 50 Cent, but for different reasons.
Don't worry about it.
On today's show, meet the school superintendent candidate fighting for students whose opponent wants to see former President Barack Obama executed on television.
And no, I am not joking.
But first, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her closing arguments in a speech at the ellipse in Washington, D.C.
her campaign said more than 70,000 people showed up to hear her speak.
It is time for a new generation of leadership in America, and I am ready to offer that leadership as the next president of the United States of America.
America.
We've mentioned it a few times on the show already, but the Ellipse is also where about four years ago, then, President Donald Trump encouraged a mob of his supporters to march to the Capitol to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
A pretty shitty move in my view.
But the location was symbolic of the argument Harris has been making in the closing days of her campaign that actually, we don't have to do that again.
We don't have to do another four years of Trump and Trumpism again, because we have another, better alternative.
Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the American people divided and afraid of each other.
That is who he is.
But America, I am here tonight to say that is not who we are.
That is not who we are.
Harris also tried to thread that very delicate needle of talking about Trump while also making sure her speech wasn't all about him.
