Vice President Kamala Harris is set to deliver her campaign's closing argument at the Ellipse near the White House, the site where former President Donald Trump incited a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol in January 2021. The speech, scheduled for one week before Election Day, aims to highlight the choice between defending democracy and political chaos.
Harris will urge the nation to 'turn the page' towards a new era and away from the divisive rhetoric of Trump. The Ellipse holds significance as the location where Trump made false claims of voter fraud and encouraged his supporters to fight, leading to the deadly Capitol riot.
