U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris rallied supporters on Tuesday, urging them to reject the chaos and division she associates with Donald Trump as the election campaign reaches its climax.

Speaking at a large rally in the heart of Washington, just south of the White House, the Democratic candidate painted former U.S. president Trump as “unstable,” claiming he is “obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power.”

The current U.S. vice president said Mr Trump has spent the past decade dividing and instilling fear in the American people.

“It is time to turn the page on the drama and conflict, the fear and division,” Ms Harris said, calling for “a new generation of leadership in America.”

“I pledge to be president for all Americans. To always put country above party and self,” Ms Harris told the crowd.

The Democratic candidate promised to seek compromise and common-sense solutions, vowing to listen to those who may not agree with her or who choose not to support her.

Ms Harris delivered her message at a historic site, the location where, on January 6, 2021, a crowd incited by Mr Trump, who held a rally to promote baseless claims of election fraud.

The events unravelled while the U.S. Congress was in session to certify Joe Biden’s election victory.

Mr Trump lost the election to Mr Biden, but he still does not admit defeat, continuing to assert that Democrats are attempting to “steal” the election through dishonest means in the current campaign.
