More than 75,000 spectators gathered in Washington DC to hear Vice President Kamala Harris’ closing address at the same site of former President Donald Trump’s infamous ‘Save America’ rally, which preceded the 6 attack on the US Capitol January.

Harris’ event at the Ellipse took place a week before Election Day and followed Trump’s closing arguments on Sunday at Madison Square Garden, which were criticized for inflammatory and racist rhetoric.

As the vice president took the stage Tuesday night, Ammar Moussa, her campaign’s rapid response director, posted on his account on .”

‘Here. We. Go,” Moussa added.

CNN later reported that the Ellipse was full and some guests were directed to an overflow area on the National Mall, according to a Harris campaign official.

Trump held his Jan. 6, 2021 rally at the Ellipse on the same day a mob of his supporters rioted at the U.S. Capitol as Congress was certifying the 2020 election, in which Trump lost to President Joe Biden. About 53,000 people attended Trump’s speech before the attack, according to the House Select Committee charged with investigating Jan. 6.

Harris’ previous audience record was set on Friday during her rally in Houston, attended by Beyoncé, among others. About 30,000 people showed up for the Shell Energy Stadium event, which focused on reproductive rights, according to the vice president’s campaign.

Trump regularly touts his own rally sizes, although… Newsweek has reported, the former president often exaggerates his attendance figures. Trump’s campaign said the former president’s event in New York City on Sunday filled Madison Square Garden to capacity. There is room for up to 19,500 people.

Sunday’s event was marred by racist comments about Latinos, black people, Jews and Palestinians. Several speakers also made sexist comments about Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Trump’s campaign has spoken out against one comment from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who said during his speech that Puerto Rico is a “floating island of trash.” The former president’s team said the “joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.” When Trump was asked about the joke by ABC News’ Rachel Scott on Tuesday, Trump said: “I don’t know him. Somebody put him there. I don’t know who he is.”

The former president also failed to condemn other statements made at Madison Square Garden during a speech at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, instead saying, “There has never been such a beautiful event.”

“The love in that room took my breath away,” he added. “It was like a love fest, an absolute love fest. And it was my honor to be involved.”

Harris said during her Ellipse speech that Trump “spent a decade trying to keep the American people divided and afraid of each other.”

“That’s who he is,” she added. “But America, I’m here tonight to say this is not who we are.”

The vice president also criticized Trump’s comments about pursuing the “enemy from within” if elected to the White House. Despite receiving enormous criticism for the comments in recent weeks, Trump repeated the phrase during his speech at Madison Square Garden, telling his supporters: “We are dealing with a huge, crooked, evil left-wing machine that is destroying the Democratic Party controls. They are smart and mean. , they are the enemy within, we must defeat them.”

On Tuesday, Harris told his supporters: “Donald Trump plans to use the US military against American citizens who simply disagree with him. People he calls ‘the enemy from within’.”

Harris added: “Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail. I will give them a seat at my table.”

Newsweek contacted Trump’s campaign via email on Tuesday for comment.
