Harris to Make Closing Argument in D.C.

By Leave a Comment

Kamala Harris will make her final case to voters Tuesday night from the Ellipse, a park near the White House, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Politico: “In her speech, which is expected to draw the vice president’s largest audience between now and when polls close on Election Day, Harris will not focus her remarks on democracy and Jan. 6, according to a senior campaign official. But with the White House in the background, the venue will serve as an implicit reminder.”

“And Harris will draw a broader contrast with Trump, arguing explicitly that Trump is focused on himself and his ‘enemies’ list, while she will prioritize her ‘to-do’ list to lower costs and help Americans, said the official, granted anonymity to speak candidly about a speech still in development.”

CNBC: Harris will offer an alternative to Trump-era politics in closing argument speech.

Her address is scheduled to start around 7:30 p.m. ET
