Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her closing argument to voters from the Ellipse on Tuesday, standing in the very spot former President Donald Trump rallied a group of his supporters before they stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. With the White House as her backdrop, Harris reiterated her central argument that Trump is a threat to democracy.
Exactly one week before the polls close, over 75,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C. to hear the vice president speak, according to the Harris campaign — about 22,000 more than the 53,000 supporters who gathered there for Trump's infamous Jan. 6 speech, according to the House Jan. 6 committee.
