卡玛拉·哈里斯:哈里斯的竞选闭幕词选择在具有象征意义的椭圆形广场举行,旨在团结选民,对抗特朗普制造的分裂和恐惧。她呼吁结束特朗普时代,并强调其政策主张,例如儿童税收抵免和医疗保险覆盖居家养老服务。她试图接触那些对特朗普感到失望但尚未决定投票给谁的共和党人和无党派人士,以及那些对政治不感兴趣或缺乏了解的选民。她还强调了自己作为检察官的经验,以及她对公平正义的承诺。 塔玛拉·基思:基思分析了哈里斯演讲的地点选择、目标受众和演讲策略。她指出,虽然演讲吸引了大量的现场观众,但其真正目标是摇摆州的选民。哈里斯的演讲并非典型的竞选集会式演讲,而是更像是一场具有象征意义的政治声明,旨在结束特朗普时代,并呼吁选民团结。 唐纳德·特朗普:特朗普承诺如果当选,将启动美国历史上最大规模的驱逐非法移民计划,但缺乏具体的实施细节。他提到的法律依据和手段的可行性存疑,并可能面临法律挑战。 贾斯敏·加塞:加塞分析了特朗普的移民政策的可行性,指出其计划缺乏细节,并可能面临法律和实际操作上的挑战。她还分析了民主党在移民问题上采取的更保守立场,以及边境安全在竞选中的重要性。 科里·特纳:特纳报道了联邦资助的启蒙计划(Head Start)面临的困境,由于教师薪资过低,许多中心难以招聘足够的工作人员,从而影响儿童服务。拜登-哈里斯政府出台了一项提高教师薪资的规定,但缺乏国会拨款,可能导致地方项目削减服务。
