2024 US election live updates: Kamala Harris delivers ‘closing argument’ against Trump in Washington

Kamala Harris will deliver a “closing speech” against rival Donald Trump on Tuesday, a campaign official said, and the key speech will be delivered at the Washington headquarters where the former president rallied supporters before the Jan. 6 riot.
The vice president, a former prosecutor, will seek a stark contrast between her vision and that of Trump, who she believes is sowing chaos and division, a Harris campaign official said Wednesday on condition of anonymity.

Harris will speak on the Ellipse esplanade in the US capital, where on January 6, 2021, near the White House, Trump delivered a fiery speech to his supporters in which he repeated false claims that he won the 2020 election.

Trump supporters then marched on the Capitol, leading to an attack on the seat of American democracy that left at least five people dead and 140 police officers injured.
