ASTON, Pa. (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris plans to lay out her campaign’s closing argument by returning to the site near the White House where Donald Trump spoke before a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. She is hoping it will crystalize for voters the fight between defending democracy and sowing political chaos. Her campaign says Harris will speak at the Ellipse Tuesday — one week before Election Day. The site is where Trump urged his supporters to fight after the 2020 election, helping incite the deadly Capitol attack. Word of the speech came prior to Wednesday evening, when Harris attended a CNN town hall and answered questions from undecided voters.
