WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris said Monday that none of Donald Trump’s vitriol Rally at Madison Square Garden will support the dreams and aspirations of the American people, but instead it “stokes the heart of the attempt to divide our country.”

She said Trump’s event on Sunday, during which speakers hurled cruel and racist insults, “highlighted the point I’ve made throughout this campaign.”

“He is focused and obsessed with his grievances, with himself and with the division of our country, and that is in no way something that will strengthen the American family, the American worker,” the Democratic presidential candidate said. presidential. She was traveling to Michigan on Monday to continue her campaign eight days before the November 5 election.

She said she would emphasize that “there’s a big difference between him and me” in the big campaign closing speech she plans to give Tuesday night on the Ellipse near the White House.

In 2021, Trump, the former president and current Republican candidate, rallied his supporters in a speech at the Ellipse before telling them to go to the Capitol, where they rioted in an attempt to overturn his defeat by to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

Harris also said: “What he did last night is not a discovery. It’s just the same and may be more vivid than usual. Donald Trump spends all his time getting Americans to point fingers at each other, stirring up hatred and division, and that’s why people are exhausted by him.”

Trump’s campaign sought to distance itself from what was said at the event, including one speaker who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.”
