Harris sought bipartisan support, highlighting her \u200bcommitment to include \u200dRepublicans in her \u2064administration and advocating for \u2062a campaign \u200bthat \u2062prioritizes the nation&#8217;s interests over party affiliation. She reiterated her belief that Trump\u2062 poses \u200ca direct \u200bthreat to democracy, asserting that he should\u2064 not hold office again. Harris&#8217;s \u2062outreach aims to \u2062unite voters against the perceived chaos and instability associated with Trump.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris argues Trump is seeking &lsquo;unchecked power&rsquo; in warning to Pennsylvania Republicans<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1837256\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kamala Harris<\/a> asserted that it is &ldquo;clear&rdquo; that former President Donald Trump is &ldquo;increasingly unstable and unhinged&rdquo; during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania where she is courting Republican voters ahead of the November election.<\/p>\n<p>Harris, using a line she has recently <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/kamalahq\/status\/1846602975197745413?s=46&amp;t=DZfHmZ9RYj2IBXl0_dptLw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"started implementing this week\">started implementing<\/a>, also argued that the former president is seeking &ldquo;unchecked power&rdquo; during her second campaign event in Pennsylvania this week.

George Washington.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We remember and reflect on what that moment was, knowing that leading up to that, that work to write, to compose the Constitution of the United States, that work was not easy,&rdquo; she stated. &ldquo;The founders often disagreed, often quite passionately, but in the end, the Constitution of the United States laid out the foundations of our democracy, including the rule of law, that there would be checks and balances, that we would have free and fair elections and a peaceful transfer of power.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Harris claimed to be joined Thursday by more than 100 Republican officials backing her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024<\/a> campaign, on top of the group of gathered Republican Pennsylvania voters in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You all being here with me might be a bit surprising, dare I say unusual, but not in this election because at stake in this race are the democratic ideals that our founders and generations of Americans before us have fought for,&rdquo; she continued. &ldquo;We are here today because we share a core belief that we must put country before party.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The vice president had previously vowed to place a Republican in her Cabinet and stand up a bipartisan counsel of advisers at the White House, promises she reiterated in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>And when it came to addressing her opponent, Harris doubled down on calling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3189104\/four-issues-forefront-trump-harris-clash-tea-leaves\/\">Trump<\/a> not only unfit for office but also a direct threat to democracy.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;America must heed this warning because anyone who tramples on our democratic values as Donald Trump has, anyone who has called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States as Donald Trump has, must never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States,&rdquo; Harris declared.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;No matter your party, no matter who you voted for last time, there is a place for you in this campaign,&rdquo; she closed. &ldquo;The coalition we have built has room for everyone who is ready to turn the page on the chaos and instability of Donald Trump and I pledge to you to be a president for all Americans.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania, the battleground state with the most Electoral College votes, might very well decide the outcome of the 2024 election.
