A week before election day, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her closing argument speech before a reported crowd of more than 75,000 in Washington, DC with the White House as her backdrop.

Harris highlighted her differences with her opponent Donald Trump by symbolically delivering her remarks on the same site where former President Donald Trump urged his supporters to march to the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to overturn the results of the presidential election.

“We know who Donald Trump is,” Vice President Harris said.  “He is the person who stood at this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election, an election that he knew he lost.”

Her direct and forceful speech emphasized how different her vision of America is than her opponent’s and laid out her positions on issues like reproductive rights and immigration.

“Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the American people divided and afraid of each other. That’s who he is,” she said. “But America, I am here to say that is not who we are.”

He offers, she said, more chaos and more division.  “Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy,” she added.  “He wants to put them in jail. I’ll give them a seat at my table.”

“I offer a different path. And I ask for your vote,” she added. “I pledge to be a president for all Americans.”

The crowd, estimated at over 75,000 people by the Harris campaign, roared its approval, waving American flags and blue and red placards that read, “Freedom Freedom Freedom.

Many in the audience had arrived at the Ellipse, an area between the White House and the Washington Monument, as early as 3 p.m. when the doors opened. She didn’t speak until around 8 p.m.  The area filled to capacity, making it nearly impossible for those in attendance to move about–and the overflow crowd spilled over to the National Mall.

The size of the crowd has not yet  been confirmed by Washington DC police.
