Harris urges voters to reject Trump’s efforts to sow division and fear​


By ZEKE MILLER and CHRIS MEGERIAN
Updated 8:25 PM CDT, October 29, 2024

One week out from Election Day, the vice president tried to drive home the contrast with Trump by delivering her closing argument from the same spot on the grassy Ellipse where the Republican former president had fomented the Capitol insurrection in 2021, pledging that she would work to improve people’s lives while arguing that her Republican opponent is only in it for himself.

“I’ll be honest with you: I’m not perfect,” she said. “I make mistakes. But here’s what I promise you: I will always listen to you, even if you don’t vote for me. I will always tell you the truth, even if it’s hard to hear. I will work every day to build consensus and reach compromise to get things done. And if you give me the chance to fight on your behalf, there is nothing in the world that will stand in my way.”

In a court filing in Ocala, Florida, a newly appointed top federal prosecutor has recommended a judge dismiss the remaining federal criminal count against Daniel Ball, who was pardoned last month for his role in the Capitol attack. Ball was still facing a weapons charge...
