Focussing on a broader message, Harris said, "In this election, we each face a question,' Harris says in the video. 'What kind of country do we want to live in?" 

"There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate, but us, we choose something different. We choose freedom," she continued.

The video begins with scenes of an American flag and Harris' enthusiastic supporters waving 'Kamala' signs at her Milwaukee rally on Tuesday, July 23.

Kamala Harris' narrative of Donald Trump

The campaign video shifts to ominous images of former president Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick JD Vance. 

Kamala Harris launched a fierce critique of Trump and later called for a future where "no one is above the law," accompanied by images of the 78-year-old politician's mugshots from his Georgia election interference case and headlines from his indictment and conviction in the New York hush money trial.

"The freedom not just to get by, but get ahead. The freedom to be safe from gun violence. The freedom to make decisions about your own body," said Harris. 

The 59-year-old politician also called for a future "where no child lives in poverty" and "where we all can afford health care."

The video concludes with Harris' rallying cry, which she has been passionately delivering on the campaign trail.
