Harris will ask voters to ‘turn the page’ on Trump era at the site of his Jan. 6 speech
Kamala Harris will hold a rally Tuesday near the White House — the site where Donald Trump spoke on Jan. 6, 2021.
WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris will hold a rally Tuesday near the White House at the site where Donald Trump addressed a crowd he encouraged to march to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, shortly before it was violently attacked in a bid to overturn the election he lost.
Harris is scheduled to speak seven days before polls close on Election Day — and 100 days since President Joe Biden exited the race and propelled her to the top of the ticket — appearing at dusk on the Ellipse with a backdrop of the White House, which either she or Trump will occupy in three months.
Harris will call on Americans to “turn the page” on the Trump era and present herself as a pragmatist who will put results over party, according to a senior Harris campaign official who requested anonymity. The official said she will continue to press a line she has invoked frequently in recent days, that Trump’s focus would be an “enemies list” — a reference to his recent comments about wielding the power of government against political rivals — and hers a “to-do list” that centers on lowering costs for people.
“She’s going to paint the picture for Americans of what a Trump presidency or a Harris presidency would look like," a senior campaign official said. "She’ll remind voters of how Trump governed before and she’ll call on Americans to turn the page on that era of division and chaos.”
