These last-minute "attacks" are highly evocative and use vivid imagery.

"Always put the country above party and yourself" or "On day one, if elected, Donald Trump will walk into that office with a list of enemies. When I am elected, I will walk into it with a list of things to do"... these may be some of the most prominent messages in Vice President Kamala Harris's closing speech at the end of her campaign.

With only a week left until Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her closing campaign speech at Ellipse Park in Washington, D.C., in which she pledged to "always put the country above party and myself."

Against the backdrop of national and swing-state polls showing Harris and Donald Trump nearly neck and neck, the Vice President's rally drew a massive crowd, estimated at around 75,000 people. Here are the key takeaways from Harris's speech.

Recalling the Capitol Hill incident

Against a backdrop of air raid sirens and car horns—clearly signifying protest—Harris began her speech by framing the election as “a choice about whether we will have a country based on freedom for all Americans or a country ruled by chaos and division.”

She said, "Look, we know who Donald Trump is. He's the man who stood right here nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to Capitol Hill to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election, an election he knew he had lost."

The Democratic candidate added: "Donald Trump intends to use the U.S. military against American citizens who simply disagree with him. Those he calls 'enemies from within.' America, this is not a presidential candidate thinking about how to make your life better. This is an unstable individual, obsessed with revenge, obsessed with injustice, and wanting unchecked power."

Vice President Harris later described her candidacy as a way to “turn the page on drama and conflict, fear and division. It is time for a new generation of leadership in America, and I am ready to take the reins as the next president of the United States.”

Notably, in her speech, she pledged to “become president for all Americans. Always put country above party and self.”

Sprint race

Ms Harris admitted that her campaign was “not a typical campaign”. She entered the race just three months ago, after concerns about Mr Biden’s age led Democrats to try to persuade him to drop out.

In the ensuing sprint, Ms. Harris struggled at times to introduce herself to voters. “While I have had the honor of serving as your vice president for the past four years, I know that many of you are still learning about me,” she said.

Ms Harris then touted her work experience before taking up her Washington post, primarily as California's attorney general, saying she "always had a protective instinct".

The Democratic candidate addressed voters, saying, "This is what I promise you. I will always listen to you, even if you don't vote for me. I will always tell you the truth, even if it's hard to hear. I will work every day to find consensus and compromise to get things done."

“On day one, if elected, Donald Trump will walk into that office with a list of enemies,” she added. “When I am elected, I will walk into office with a list of things to do.”

Make a difference

Ms. Harris rarely misses an opportunity to announce her intention to restore abortion rights for women nationwide. She acknowledged that restoring abortion protections would require congressional support. She stated, “When Congress passes a bill restoring reproductive freedom nationwide, as President of the United States, I will be proud to sign it into law.”

In addition, Harris once again promised that, if elected, she would sign into law a bipartisan border security bill – a bill that Trump had "sabotaged" earlier this year.

Ms. Harris said she would “provide the border patrol with the support they desperately need.” She added, “We must acknowledge that we are a nation of immigrants,” and that she would work with Congress to pass immigration reform, including pathways for hard-working immigrants to obtain citizenship.

Many Republicans oppose providing a pathway to citizenship. Trump has also promised to deport the largest number of immigrants in American history.

In other news, a Reuters/Ipsos poll on October 29 showed Vice President Kamala Harris's lead over former President Donald Trump had narrowed, to 44% versus 43% among registered voters.

Ms. Harris has led Mr. Trump in every Reuters/Ipsos poll since taking over from US President Joe Biden in July, but her advantage has gradually decreased since late September, according to Reuters.
