The National Park Service has amended the permit for Vice President Kamala Harris' speech at the Ellipse tonight to accommodate 40,000 participants, doubling the original estimate of 20,000 attendees. This update was confirmed through a permit shared with a reliable source.
During a press conference on election security, Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith stated that the department is preparing for a crowd of around 52,000 individuals. This significant increase in expected participants highlights the anticipation surrounding Harris' upcoming address.
Harris is scheduled to deliver her speech in the same park where former President Donald Trump spoke on January 6, 2021. In a pre-recorded interview with the syndicated radio show 'The Breakfast Club,' Harris revealed that her speech will focus on encouraging people to envision the future leadership of the country. She emphasized the importance of considering who should occupy the Oval Office and what priorities that individual should have upon assuming the presidency.
