GABRIEL NADALES: Harris Could Help Unify The Country If She Promises To Drop Trump Prosecutions

If the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump has taught us anything, it is that our nation is extremely divided, and our major party leaders need to turn down the temperature and unify this nation around true American values.

As Vice President Kamala Harris begins her campaign, she should offer an olive branch by promising to cease the federal prosecution of Trump if she were to be elected. If candidate Harris continues down the dangerous campaign path of prosecuting Trump instead of trying to beat him on the issues in a fair democratic election, she will show the American people that she cares more about political power than uniting our country.

Ironically, this type of toxic politics ends up hurting Democrats by giving their opponents a message they can win on — Republicans have turned their campaign into a rally against political persecution. But what we desperately need is to turn the page in today’s politics from personal attacks to focusing on what is important: an agenda that benefits the American people.

Focusing on personalities rather than policies distracts voters from the issues. The presidential election should not be based solely on the person behind the podium, but that is what this election has turned into. Of course, who our nation’s leaders are matters, but it is their agenda that should ultimately persuade voters to pull the lever for them.
