Harris to deliver closing argument speech at Ellipse, site of Trump’s January 6 rally

................... Harris is approaching Tuesday’s speech as a prosecutor, her advisers say: After laying out evidence against Trump, she plans to bring together her case to a “jury” of voters.

A permit application for the event obtained by CNN estimated a crowd of roughly 7,500 at the event, with 250 staff, organizers and volunteers.

It said the speaking program will consist of four to five individuals and elected officials.

Tuesday’s event is an indication of the Harris campaign’s belief that reminding voters of Trump’s past actions can help cement the choice for any who remain undecided.

Harris has often invoked the insurrection on January 6, as part of her argument that democracy is at stake.

“Donald Trump left us the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War,” Harris said of the insurrection during the presidential debate in September. The campaign has also frequently used images of January 6 in ads. ..............................

Harris’ speech Tuesday at the Ellipse, a park just outside the South Lawn of the White House, will amount to a high-profile denunciation of Trump’s fitness for office and a warning about the chaos she says he would bring to the Oval Office should he win. https://cnn.com/2024/10/23/pol

Beyoncé has long allowed Kamala Harris to use her ‘Freedom’ song as the Vice President’s campaign soundtrack, but now Queen Bey is hitting the stage in person as the close White House race goes into its final days.

A source close to the campaign confirms to Deadline that the 32-Grammy winning superstar will appear with the VP on Friday in her hometown of Houston.

In a true show of Texas hold ’em, Harris and Beyoncé will be joined by Willie Nelson. As well as taking the VP to the Lone Star state and bringing the Cowboy Carter performer out, the event could prove a boost to Rep. Colin Allred’s burgeoning bid to boot incumbent Ted Cruz out of the Senate. ...........................
