As the race reaches one week until Election Day, Kamala Harris delivered her "closing argument" on The Ellipse -- in the same spot where Donald Trump allied his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, to march on the U.S. Capitol nearby.
Trump tried to preempt Harris's remarks, speaking to reporters Tuesday morning at Mar-a-Lago after declaring he's "the opposite of a Nazi" on Monday night in Georgia. He holds a rally later in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where there is a large population of Puerto Rican Americans.
As of 4:40 p.m. ET on Tuesday, more than 51 million Americans have voted early, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida.
Of the total number of early votes, 26,855,025 were cast in person and 24,573,128 were returned by mail
There is now just one week until Election Day.
Vice President Kamala Harris urged voters Tuesday to "start writing the next chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told" by rejecting former President Donald Trump.
"The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised," Harris said. "In seven days, we have the power, each of you has the power, to turn the page, and start writing the next chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told," she added.
Trump claimed during his rally in Allentown that the Harris campaign had bused people to Washington "because they couldn't get anybody to show up there tonight."
The Harris campaign touted that more than 75,000 people had gathered on the National Mall for Harris' remarks tonight at the same venue where Trump spoke ahead of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Vice President Kamala Harris stressed former President Donald Trump's role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, while standing on the same stage he did that preceded the riot.
"Americans died as a result of that attack. 140 law enforcement officers were injured because of that attack," Harris said.
Harris, speaking in front of the White House, both distanced herself from President Joe Biden and embraced her one-time running mate.
"My presidency will be different because the challenges we face will be different," Harris said.
Biden was in the White House behind Harris while she delivered her speech. Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee when Biden opted not to run for reelection in July.
