Acknowledging that not all people listening were supporters, Harris said the November election against Donald Trump is “a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the past, a chance to chart a new way forward — not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans.”
“I will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations,” she said. “The future is always worth fighting for. And that’s the fight we are in right now. A fight for America’s future.”
