Kamala Harris to deliver closing argument speech at Ellipse outside White House on…

Harris will use this major campaign to draw a contrast between her campaign and Donald Trump’s campaign. Earlier, Donald Trump addressed a rally at the same place on January 6, 2021.

Washington: The Vice President and a democratic candidate, Kamala Harris plans to deliver a closing argument of the 2024 presidential election campaign at the iconic Ellipse, the oval-shaped park outside the White House South Lawn, a week ahead of general elections to be held on November 5, 2024.  In the campaign, Harris (60) plans to make a passionate appeal to the nation to urge voters to vote for a new vision and “turn the page” during her address from the historic Ellipse on Tuesday, October 29, multiple media reports said Wednesday.

Harris will use this major campaign to draw a contrast between her campaign and Donald Trump’s campaign. Earlier, Donald Trump addressed a rally at the same place on January 6, 2021. Following the rally, thousands of his supporters marched towards the Capitol Hill, resulting in one of the darkest moments in American democracy where his supporters forcibly entered the US Congress and went violent. 

“Coming a week ahead of Election Day, Harris will use the major address to contrast her own vision of the presidency with her rival’s, painting pictures both of what her first term would look like and a dire portrait of Trump’s potential return,” CNN reported.

“Ms. Harris will make her closing argument against Mr. Trump, contrasting how their administrations would operate and highlighting the risk she believes he presents to the nation,” The New York Times reported.

“Harris is expected to use the speech near the White House to describe what a first Harris term or a second Trump term, in her view, would look like for the nation, her campaign said,” The Wall Street Journal reported.

According to NBC News, Harris will argue it’s time to turn the page on Trump and choose a new way forward. The address will contrast the difference between Harris’s term as compared to Trump’s term in office. 

Kamala Harris is the 49th and current vice president of the United States since 2021. She is  the first ever Indian American and African American woman to have been nominated by either of the Democratic and Republican Party to run for US presidency. She had frequent travels to India along with her mother in her childhood. Her mother migrated to the US for higher studies from her hometown Chennai.
