    Kamala Harris' Crowd Size Crushes Previous Record With Ellipse Speech

    More than 75,000 spectators gathered in Washington, D.C., to hear Vice President Kamala Harris' closing argument speech at the same site of
    former President Donald Trump's infamous "Save America" rally that
    preceded the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
    ...
    ...
    CNN later reported that the Ellipse was at capacity and some guests
    were directed to an overflow area on the National Mall, per a Harris
    campaign official.

    Trump held his January 6, 2021, rally at the Ellipse on the same day a
    mob of his supporters rioted at the U.S. Capitol while Congress was
    certifying the 2020 election in which Trump lost to President Joe
    Biden. According to the House Select Committee tasked with
    investigating January 6, around 53,000 people attended Trump's speech
    before the attack.

    Cool, but she is playing home court advantage. Washington DC is 99%
    democrat, she's speaking to her own crowd.

    Note she chose not to do her final rally from Kansas City, MO or
    Lubbock, TX. I believe that's part of the Dem party's problem - they
    don't get out of Washington enough to escape the bubble.

    I believe the function was to remind citizens of Trump's previous
    audience there on Jan 6.

    NBC news did show what happened there via Trump's crowd.

    Some 18% of voters are undecided, btw. What percent follow the news
    is unknown, but if I was an undecided voter and watched that newscast,
    I most likely would vote for her.
