The Harris marketing campaign had pointedly picked the Ellipse in Washington DC because the venue for this deal with. Simply past the White Home’s south garden, the backyard was the place Donald Trump spoke on 6 January 2021 earlier than droves of his followers.

Standing in nearly the identical spot as Ms Harris now was, he made false claims concerning the election being stolen and urged his supporters to “fight like hell”. At the least 2,000 of them, in line with the FBI, then stormed the Capitol.

It recalled feedback made by Hillary Clinton within the 2016 marketing campaign during which she described “half” of Mr Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables”.
