Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the presidential nominee of the ruling Democratic party, plans to make a closing argument of the electrifying election campaign at the iconic Ellipse, the park just outside the White House on October 29, exactly a week ahead of the November 5 general elections. Expected to be attended by thousands of her supporters, Harris (60) plans to make a passionate appeal to the nation and urge her fellow countrymen 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.
The oval-shaped park is near the White House South Lawn. In doing so, Harris is expected to draw the contrast between her campaign and that of her Republican rival former president Donald Trump, 78. This is the same place where Trump had addressed a rally 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 wherein his supporters forcibly entered the US Congress and went violent.
