Kamala Harris’ Crowd Size Crushes Previous Record With Ellipse Speech

Over 75,000 people have gathered in Washington, D.C., to hear Vice President Kamala Harris’ closing argument speech at the same site of former President Donald Trump’s rally on January 6, 2021.
Harris’ event at the Ellipse comes one week before Election Day, and follows Trump’s closing arguments at Madison Square Garden on Sunday that received backlash for its inflammatory and racist rhetoric.
As the vice president took the stage Tuesday night, her campaigns’ rapid response director, Ammar Moussa, posted to his X (formerly Twitter) account that “are OVER 75,000 people on the National Mall to watch Kamala Harris deliver her closing remarks.”
“Here. We. Go,” Moussa added in the post.
Harris’ previous crowd size record was set last Friday at her rally in Houston, which included an appearance from Beyoncé. The vice president’s campaign said around 30,000 people showed up to the event at Shell Energy Stadium, which was focused on reproductive rights.
