Vice President Kamala Harris is hoping to close out her 2024 campaign with a strong visual message – but it won’t be about the future of the nation she hopes to lead.

Just like her party, the Democratic presidential nominee plans to make her final election appeal with a reference to the past and, of course, to former President Donald Trump.

The Harris campaign revealed the vice president will be giving her closing election speech next Tuesday from the Ellipse, the site near the White House where Trump spoke to supporters on January 6, 2021. This move, according to the Associate Press, is because Harris is “hoping it will crystalize for voters the fight between defending democracy and sowing political chaos.”

The location provides the symbolism Harris needs to deliver a message for the nation to “turn the page” and move on from Trump – something she and her fellow Democrats evidently are incapable of as they continue to milk the false Jan. 6 narratives.

“Word of the speech came from a senior Harris campaign official who insisted on anonymity to discuss an address that is still in development,” AP reported. “The Harris campaign is betting that her speaking at the Ellipse can provide an opportunity for the vice president to stress that the country no longer wants to be defined by a political combativeness that Trump seems to relish.”

CNN’s Abby Phillip suggested a speech at the Ellipse by Harris could be a “mistake.”

“If the Ellipse speech ultimately is another kind of reference to January 6 and that’s it, I think that would be a huge mistake because that’s not the territory that this election is being decided on,” she said.

“I believe the American people deserve better, and they deserve a president who is focused on solutions, not sitting in the Oval Office plotting every day,” Harris said at a CNN town hall in Philadelphia on Wednesday night.

She claimed that Jan. 6 saw a “president of the United States defying the will of the people in a free and fair election and unleashing a violent mob who attacked the United States Capitol.”

In her closing speech one week before Election Day, Harris “will present a final case from a place selected to emphasize a contrast between herself and [Donald] Trump, a candidate who she has argued poses a grave threat to the country,” the Washington Post reported. “As part of her remarks, Harris is likely to mention Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol, but her speech is expected to be broader than focused on solely what she deems Trump’s threat to American democracy.”

Harris and Democrats have continued to push false claims that Trump led an insurrection on Jan. 6 and incited the crowd to violently breach the Capitol building.
