Kamala Harris to give ‘closing argument’ in remarks on DC’s Ellipse to kick off final week before election

Vice President Kamala Harris will kick off the final week before the election by making her so-called “closing argument” to the nation at a rally on Washington, DC’s Ellipse on Tuesday evening.

Harris, 60, will stand in front of the White House with a split screen when she urges voters to “turn the page” by outlining her agenda should she be elected to the nation’s highest office, a senior campaign official.

Harris’ appearance in DC will kick off several days on the road, as she will visit battleground states alongside her campaign’s get-out-and-vote concert series.

The Harris-Walz camp got an initial boost of star power over the weekend, with an appearance by musician Maggie Rogers at their Ann Arbor rally.

About 20,000 people are expected to attend the Tuesday event, according to the permit approved by the National Park Service — up from the previous permit application that predicted a crowd of about 7,500, DC News Now said.

The site will open to the public at 3 p.m. and will close at 9 p.m.

The Harris campaign emphasized that the location of the rally on the National Mall — the same place where Republican opponent Donald Trump spoke ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attacks — was to highlight the contrast between the two candidates.

“I would and do think about that place more in the context of what will be behind me, which is the White House. And I’m doing it there, because I think it is very important for the American people to see and think about who will be occupying that space on Jan. 20,” Harris told CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell over the weekend.

“The reality of it is that most Americans can visualize the Oval Office. We’ve seen it on television, and this is a real scenario. It’s either going to be Donald Trump or it’s going to be me sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.”

Speaking to reporters in Philadelphia on Sunday, Harris accused Trump of being “full of grievances.”

“He is full of dark language that is about retribution and revenge, and so the American people have a choice. It is either going to be that, or it’ll be me there, focused on my to-do list, focused on the American people, and getting through that list of goals and plans to improve the lives of the American people,” she insisted.

Harris’ comments came after she was caught on a hot mic Saturday admitting to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that her campaign needed to “move ground among men.”

“Oh, we have microphones in here listening to everything. I didn’t realize that,” Harris said as she turned around.

A spokesperson for Trump — who drew a massive crowd for his historic Madison Square Garden rally Sunday — did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for a comment.
