WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will promise Americans that she will work to improve their lives while Republican Donald Trump is in it only for himself, delivering her campaign's closing argument from the same venue on Tuesday, where the former president incited the Capitol insurrection in 2021.

A week before Election Day, Harris' address at 7:30 p.m. ET on the grassy Ellipse near the White House is designed to encourage Americans to imagine their alternative futures if she or Trump take the Oval Office in less than three months.

She hoped to sharpen that contrast by delivering her closing speech at the site where Trump spread falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election on January 6, 2021, inspiring a crowd to march on the Capitol and unsuccessfully attempt to certify the election Democrats prevent Joe Biden from winning and sealing his own defeat.

With time running out and the race getting tighter, both Harris and Trump have been looking for big moments to try to shift the momentum one way or the other. But after her speech in the nation's capital, Harris will once again be furiously searching for votes, one rally and one event at a time in battleground states.

On Tuesday, aides said Harris wanted to look beyond the startling images of her location on the Ellipse to give voters a broader argument to reject Trump and consider what she offers. Her campaign hoped to draw a large crowd to the event in Washington.

“There's a big difference between him and me,” Harris told reporters Monday in a preview of her speech. “If he were elected, he would be sitting in the Oval Office on day one working on his enemies list. If elected on Day 1, which I fully expect, I will have work on my to-do list on behalf of the American people.”

Campaign aides emphasized that she would not deliver a treatise on democracy, a keystone of President Biden's own attempts to draw a contrast with Trump.

But her campaign hopes this framework will help capture the attention of embattled voters in states who are still unsure about who to vote for — or whether to vote at all.

Days after Harris traveled to Texas, a reliably Republican state, to perform with megastar Beyoncé and highlight the consequences for women following the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade fell. This, too, was a speech designed to appeal to voters far away in battleground states.

The vice president's latest address has been in the works for weeks. But aides hoped their message would have a greater impact after Trump's rally on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York, where speakers uttered cruel and racist slurs. Harris said the event “highlighted the point I have made throughout this campaign.”

“He is focused and actually fixated on his grievances, on himself and on the division of our country,” she said.

Harris was expected to present a pragmatic and forward-looking plan for the country in her speech. That included reminding voters of her economic proposals and promising to fight vigorously for access to reproductive care, including abortion.

Also central to her message: She positions herself as a “new generation” of leaders after Trump and even her current boss Biden.

She said of Trump on Monday: “People are literally ready to turn the page. They're tired of it.”

Harris' advisers, many of whom also advised Biden's campaign before he dropped out, still believe that focusing the race on who Trump is and how different she is will be her strongest message to voters.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said it was important for battleground voters to be reminded of the consequences of their vote this fall and that Harris “really drives home the stakes of this election and the stark contrast in the race.” “.

He said Harris has the stronger argument on economic policy, reproductive freedom and the question of chaos vs. order, adding that she has “a vision that will bring more order, more hope and more joy.”

Trump planned to use planned remarks to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on Tuesday morning to try to preemptively refute Harris' speech, according to a person familiar with the matter.
