Kamala Harris Draws Massive Crowd at Ellipse, Notches Larger Audience Than Trump's Jan. 6 Rally in Same Spot

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered remarks in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday night in front of a massive crowd where she made her closing argument to voters at The Ellipse ahead of next week’s election.

The Harris campaign estimated the size of the crowd to be more than 75,000 people, which would make it a markedly larger assembly than the one former President Donald Trump spoke to on Jan. 6, 2021, when he urged then-Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify the results of the 2020 election as the presiding officer in Congress. After Pence refused, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol.

According to the House Jan. 6 Committee that investigated the riot and Trump’s efforts to overturn the election, 53,000 people attended the former president’s “Stop the Steal” rally.

Trump has been obsessed with crowd sizes since he first declared his candidacy in 2015. He once baselessly claimed his Jan. 6 crowd size was as big or bigger than the 1963 March on Washington when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in front of around 250,000 people.

There just aren’t enough people in this country to prop up his sagging ego.

It's not a "day of love" if there's no gallows. Or law enforcement officers injured by being beaten with flagpoles.

Should have had more emphasis on the booming economy she and President Biden developed.
