At the time, Trump incited his supporters with the unsubstantiated claim that the Democrats had used fraud to deprive him of a victory in the 2020 presidential election. A violent mob then moved to nearby Capitol Hill and stormed the Parliament building.
That day, Congress was in the process of formally confirming Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory against Trump. To date, Trump has not admitted his election defeat against Biden and continues to claim in the current election campaign that the Democrats wanted to steal a victory from him using unfair means.Harris announced a few days ago that he would hold a rally in Washington a week before the elections.10/29/2024 | 0:29 minutes
Harris: Time for a new generation of leadership
Harris said Trump sent an armed mob to the Capitol at the time. One of his priorities if he returns to the White House is to release the violent extremists of January 6, 2021 and to take criminal action against his enemies.
Trump also wants to use the US military against Americans who disagree with him. Harris warned that previous generations had not fought for basic freedoms only to now subject the country to the will of a “tyrant.” The 60-year-old criticized:
Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to divide the American people and put them in fear of one another.

Harris: Will be president for all Americans
She reiterated her intention to carry out her office in a non-partisan manner. “I promise to be a president for all Americans and to always put country above party and myself,” the Democrat shouted to the crowd. She further said:
On day one if elected, Donald Trump would come into office with a list of enemies. If elected, I will come to office with a to-do list full of priorities.

“I will work with everyone – Democrats, Republicans and Independents – to help the hardworking Americans who are still fighting to move forward.” She wants to look for compromises and find solutions using common sense. “I’m not perfect. I make mistakes,” Harris admitted.
But I promise you that I will always listen to you. Even if you don’t choose me.

Trump confirms plans in swing state Pennsylvania
Trump’s campaign team criticized Harris’ performance as backwards: she only wanted to distract from her own failures during her time in office with Biden. At the same time, Trump himself appeared around 300 kilometers away in Allentown in the particularly hotly contested and potentially decisive election state of Pennsylvania.
The 78-year-old completed his usual campaign program there. He vowed to stop “the invasion of criminals” into the United States, accused Harris and the Democrats of destroying the country and said his election victory could be “the greatest moment in world history.”

Trump is trying to limit the damage
The Republican did not directly comment on criticism of a comedian’s tasteless joke who called the US territory of Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at a large Trump rally in New York.
The sentence caused outrage in Puerto Rico – and around 500,000 Puerto Ricans live in Pennsylvania alone. Trump tried to limit the damage there and brought a politician from Puerto Rico onto the stage to praise him. And he said no one loves the Puerto Rican community more than him.
