aljazeera.com

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a speech at the Ellipse near the White House, contrasting her agenda with former President Donald Trump. She criticized Trump as a "petty tyrant" and highlighted his actions related to the January 6 Capitol riot. Harris claimed Trump sent an armed mob to the Capitol to overturn the election results. She also addressed issues like immigration, stating it should not be used as a political tool. Her campaign reported an attendance of 75,000, the largest of her campaign. Several claims made by Harris were fact-checked. For example, while she accurately noted that 140 law enforcement officers were injured on January 6, some of her statements about Trump's policies on abortion and healthcare were deemed misleading or needed context.
