"Ka-ma-la!" chants right off the bat
Kamala Harris: It will probably be the most important vote you ever cast. This election is more than just a choice between two parties and two different candidates. It is a choice about whether we have a country rooted in freedom for every American, or ruled by chaos and division
"America that's who Donald Trump is. And that's who's asking you to give him another four years in the Oval Office" -- Harris points out that four years ago, Trump stood at that spot and incited an attack on democracy itself
Harris lays out Trump's authoritarian designs and intention to use the military against "the enemy within" and they says, "that is not who we are"
Kamala Harris: "America, for too long we have been consumed with too much division, chaos, and mutual distrust. And it can be easy then to forget a simple truth: It doesn't have to be this way."
Kamala Harris: On day one Donald Trump would walk into that office with an enemies list. When elected, I will walk in with a to-do list.
"We're not going back chants!" after Harris brings up Trump's long history of trying to repeal the ACA
key part of the speech here as Kamala Harris ticks through her policy priorities
Kamala Harris outlines her reproductive rights policy priorities
Kamala Harris: "Politicians have got to stop treating immigration as an issue to scare up votes in an election."
Kamala Harris: "World leaders think that Donald Trump is an easy mark -- easy to manipulate with flattery or favor. And you can believe that autocrats like Putin and Kim Jong Un are rooting for him in this election."
Kamala Harris: "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."
"We are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators. The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised." -- That was a really strong speech from Kamala Harris. Here's how she brought it home.
That's it for Kamala Harris's Ellipse speech. If you appreciate me bringing you highlights, please show love by signing up for my newsletter. I think you'll enjoy Public Notice and paid subscribers make my work possible. Thanks. publicnotice.co/subscribe

Trump is wearing black and a hat that makes it hard to see his eyes. He was in bad shape during his last rally.
