Vice President Kamala Harris is set to deliver a “closing argument” speech in Washington, D.C., one week before Election Day. The rally is being planned at the Ellipse, between the White House and the National Mall, and could accommodate over 7,000 people. The event is expected to address the January 6 Capitol riot, as the location is where former President Donald Trump spoke before the insurrection. The permit application for the event was amended earlier in the week by the Harris campaign, which is identified as “Harris for President,” requesting the space for the rally. While details of the event are still being finalized, the speech is expected to be a significant campaign event for Harris in the capital. Harris and Trump have been actively campaigning in battleground states leading up to Election Day, with this speech being one of Harris’s largest events in Washington, D.C. The Harris campaign declined to comment on the specifics of the event, but it is poised to be a major moment in her campaign strategy as the election draws near.
