Kamala Harris will deliver, one week before one of the most indecisive elections in American history, a “final indictment” against Donald Trump on Tuesday in Washington, at the very place where the former president had harangued his supporters just before They attack the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The vice-president and Democratic candidate wants on this occasion to establish a strong contrast between her vision and that of the Republican candidate, marked according to her by chaos and division, a senior official from her campaign team said on Wednesday.
The former prosecutor will speak on the Ellipse, a vast grassy area located between the White House and the obelisk of the Washington Monument, in the symbolic heart of the American capital, and one week to the day before the election.
This is where, on January 5, 2021, thousands of supporters of the Republican billionaire gathered in Washington to denounce supposed “fraud” in the November 2020 election, which deprived Donald Trump of a second term.
“Imbalance”
Donald Trump is “increasingly unbalanced” and in search of “absolute power”, said Kamala Harris on Wednesday, who has continued to toughen her tone in recent days about her rival.
In a very dramatic tone and during a short speech in Washington, Kamala Harris returned to the comments of the Republican’s former chief of staff at the White House.
According to the latter, John Kelly, who considered that Donald Trump met the definition of a fascist, the ex-president would have said that the Nazi dictator had “done good things”.
“It is deeply disturbing and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler,” the vice president said.
According to her, “all of this is further proof for the American people of who Donald Trump really is.”
The Republican’s campaign team denied to the press the comments attributed to the former president by John Kelly.
Now “we know what Donald Trump wants: he wants unchecked power. The question (…) will be what the American people want,” concluded Kamala Harris, before setting off for Pennsylvania.
At a run
The two candidates are stepping up their efforts in the home stretch of the campaign, seeking to reach all voters, all communities before November 5.
The Democratic candidate will answer questions from voters in Pennsylvania on Wednesday evening, during a public meeting on the CNN channel, a format that she has little favored since entering the campaign three months ago.
This state, won by Joe Biden in 2020, is probably the most coveted in the election for which more than 240 million Americans are called to the polls.
Kamala Harris, who in 2021 became the first vice-president in the history of the United States, estimated on Tuesday that the country was ready to elect its first president this time.
The race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, two polar opposite candidates, is described as one of the closest in American history in a particularly polarized country.
In this huge and very divided country, the candidates are particularly surveying a handful of crucial states to achieve victory.
nostalgic Trump
Donald Trump is in one of them on Wednesday, in Georgia, where early voting started very strongly. The Republican took a walkabout after a public meeting on the theme of faith in a chapel in Zebulon, during which he expressed a certain nostalgia over the fact that the campaign was drawing to a close.
“It’s sad in many ways because we only have 12 days left,” said the 78-year-old candidate. The former president, who is making increasingly outrageous remarks in this race, is expected in Duluth in the evening.
Both camps are increasing calls to push voters to go to the polls as soon as possible. As of Wednesday, nearly 25 million voters have already made their choice, according to the independent organization Elections Project.
“The main thing is to get out, to vote. And I will vote early,” Donald Trump told Fox News.
