Standing at the Ellipse, where Trump once addressed supporters before the Capitol attack, Harris spoke purposefully, transforming a space tied to division into a platform for hope and unity. Among signs that read "Freedom" and "USA" and bathed in a sea of American flags, she called on Americans to put aside political differences and "stop pointing fingers and start locking arms," pitching herself as a unifying force who would lead with empathy. Invoking E Pluribus Unum - Latin for "out of many, one" - Harris framed this motto as "a living truth about the heart of our democracy."
Reproductive rights were front and center in Harris's message, as she pledged to restore protections rolled back by the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn "The government should not be telling her what to do with her body," Harris declared, describing restrictive laws on abortion access and IVF as "immoral." She assured the crowd that she would sign federal legislation protecting reproductive rights if Congress were to pass it. "When Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom nationwide, as President of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law."
