Kamala Is A Masterful Orator

The promise of America

Kamala Harris’ speech the other night, her “Closing Argument,” was magnificent. I was transfixed by her words and her empathic performance.

In front of over 60,000 people on the Ellipse in Washington DC, where, less than four years earlier, Trump had sent a violent crowd to stop the certification of votes at the Capitol on January 6th, Harris told the story of America and the promise of the most wonderful idea ever created.

She went after Trump with sharp words, comparing him to King George, whom we “rested freedom from a petty tyrant. Across the generations, Americans have preserved that freedom, expanded on it and proved to the world that a government of the people, by and for the people is strong and can endure. And those who came before us, the did not struggle, sacrifice and lay down their lives only to see us cede our fundamental freedom to the will of another petty tyrant.”

“So America, in seven days, we have the power to turn the page and start writing the next chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told.”

She provided a stark contrast between herself, a unifier, and Trump, a divider. But Harris also went into specifics of her policies and how she would govern.
