Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver a “closing argument” speech in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday at the site where former President Donald Trump spoke shortly before the Jan. 6 riot, according to a senior campaign official.
Harris will argue it's time to turn the page on Trump and choose a new way forward, the official said.
Sources had told NBC News earlier in the day that Harris' campaign had been planning an address on the National Mall and had sought a permit for the site.
“We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated,” Trump told the crowd, urging it repeatedly to "fight."
The Harris campaign official said the campaign plans to contrast Trump's worst moment in office with what the official called Harris' optimistic vision for the future.
