A Closing Argument For The Ages

The media often talks about candidates delivering their closing arguments, but if we are being honest, does anyone remember a closing speech from a candidate? Usually, presidential elections are so long that by the end all of the speeches melt together in the minds of voters.

The closing argument isn’t a real thing. Presidential candidates have always spent the final week making a mad dash to get out the vote in critical states. Speeches don’t normally stand out, but the 2024 election is not normal.

When President Joe Biden stepped aside and decided to finish out his term and not run again, Vice President Kamala Harris was placed into a mad dash of a campaign. Suddenly every moment and every speech came with intense pressure and scrutiny. Each time Kamala Harris has risen to the occasion and delivered.

With 75,000 or more people watching in Washington, D.C. VP Harris did it again.

Three Important Quotes From Kamala Harris’s Speech

1). “Look, we all 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 that he knew he lost. Americans died as a result of that attack. 140 law enforcement officers were injured. And while Donald Trump sat in the White House watching, as the violence unfolded on television, he was told by staff that the mob wanted to kill his own vice president. Donald Trump responded with two words: “So what?” That’s who Donald Trump is.”

2). “I offer a different path. And I ask for your vote. And here is my pledge to you: I pledge 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. I pledge to listen: To experts, to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make, and to people who disagree with me. Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail. I’ll give them a seat at the table. I pledge to approach my work with the joy and optimism that comes from making a difference in people’s lives. And I pledge to be a President for all Americans. To always put country above party and above self.
