Vice President Harris will deliver a speech at the Ellipse in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, one week before Election Day.

Harris will make her final argument during her speech, during which she will implore voters to turn the page on former President Trump, according to a senior Harris campaign official.

The Harris campaign sent a request earlier this month to the National Park Service (NPS) to use the National Mall on October 29 for a “First Amendment activity” from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to a permit application obtained by The Hill’s. NewsNation partner.

The campaign then sent an updated request to the NPS on Monday to move the proposed speech to the Ellipse.

In the application, the campaign included a stage request and setup for a standing crowd. It is estimated that around 7,500 people would attend the event. The campaign anticipated that there would be a conference program, made up of four to five speakers, including elected officials.

The Ellipse, which is south of the White House, was the site of the Jan. 6, 2021, pro-Trump rally, at which Trump spoke before attendees headed to the Capitol.

Harris plans Tuesday to paint a picture for Americans of what a Harris presidency would look like compared to Trump’s, and her campaign advisers wanted to use the Ellipse as a symbolic venue, the official said.

Harris has made the Jan. 6 conviction and Trump’s actions that day a centerpiece of her campaign, warning against electing him because he seeks “unchecked” power. She also plans to make it a large part of her closing argument.

The vice president has not campaigned much in Washington, other than using her residence as a venue for remarks and interviews. A major campaign event in Washington would be a break in his travel to battleground states.
