Vice President Harris To Deliver Closing Argument At Ellipse

Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris speaks

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to deliver a final-stretch closing argument on Tuesday at the Ellipse, a park located just outside the South Lawn of the White House. This location holds significance as it is where her rival delivered a speech on January 6, 2021, which ultimately led to the attack by his supporters on the US Capitol.

Harris's speech is expected to be a high-profile denunciation of former President Donald Trump's fitness for office and a warning about the potential chaos his return to the Oval Office could bring. With Election Day just a week away, Harris will use this address to contrast her vision of the presidency with that of her rival, highlighting the differences in their approaches and the potential outcomes of their respective terms.

Advisers from Harris's campaign have provided a preview of the speech, emphasizing its importance in shaping the narrative of the election. They have underscored the stakes involved in this year's presidential election, repeatedly cautioning against the possibility of a second Trump term and highlighting the controversial policies and statements made by the former president.

Following the 2020 election, Trump persistently claimed victory and encouraged his supporters to march to the Capitol during a speech at the Ellipse. This event culminated in a riot at the Capitol, leading to Trump's indictment for his role in attempting to overturn the election results.

Harris's upcoming speech is expected to address these events and provide a clear contrast between her leadership style and the potential consequences of a Trump presidency. As the election draws near, both campaigns are intensifying their efforts to sway voters and emphasize the importance of the choice at hand.
