Harris to deliver closing argument speech at Ellipse, site of Trump’s January 6 rally
https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/23/politics/national-mall-kamala-harris-speech/index.html
................... 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

Queen Bey & The VP: Beyoncé To Appear With Kamala Harris In Texas Tomorrow
https://deadline.com/2024/10/beyonce-kamala-harris-concert-1236157328/
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. ...........................

Pentagon chief Austin confirms North Korea has sent troops to Russia

By Hyung-Jin Kim, The Associated Press Oct 23, 2024, 06:59 AM
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said there is evidence that North Korea has sent troops to Russia on Monday, and South Korea’s spy chief told lawmakers that 3,000 North Korean troops are in the country receiving training on drones and other equipment before being deployed to battlefields in Ukraine.
Austin told reporters Wednesday “What exactly they are doing? Left to be seen. These are things that we need to sort out,” according to a video posted by the Washington Post.
If the troops join the war in Ukraine on Russia’s side, it will be “a very, very serious issue,” Austin said, adding it would have an impact in Europe and in the Indo-Pacific region.
South Korean intelligence first publicized reports that the Russian navy had taken 1,500 North Korean special warfare troops to Russia last week, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had earlier said his government had intelligence that 10,000 North Korea soldiers were being prepared to join the invading Russian forces.
The U.S. and NATO had not previously formally confirmed North Korea’s reported troop dispatch, but have warned of the danger of such a development if true. Russia and North Korea have so far denied the troop movements...................
