National Park Service grants Harris permit for up to 20K attendees at Ellipse rally
Vice President Harris’s Tuesday rally at the Ellipse is estimated to draw at least 20,000 attendees, according to the campaign’s approved National Park Service permit.
The Tuesday rally site opens to the public at 3:00 p.m. with the program anticipated to conclude by 9:00 p.m.
The campaign started staging for the event on Saturday, employing overnight security to ensure the set up remains in place, according to the permit. The team plans to clear all items from the rally by Wednesday.
The open field location draws significance due to its close proximity to the White House and connection to former President Trump, who used the site to speak to Capitol insurrectionists on Jan. 6, 2021. Harris is expected to reference this at her Tuesday event.
“Either you have the choice of a Donald Trump, who will sit in the Oval Office stewing, plotting revenge, retribution, writing out his enemies list, or what I will be doing, which is responding to folks like the folks last night with a to-do list, understanding the need to work on lifting up the American people, whether it be through the issue of grocery prices and bringing them down or investing in our economy, investing in our small businesses, investing in our families,” the vice president recently told voters at a Philadelphia rally.
