Former President Trump, who delivered a speech inciting the Capitol riot at Ellips Park in front of the White House in January 2021.
With the presidential election just around the corner, Vice President Harris will announce a major message at the same place.
Harris emphasizes that Americans must not forget the Capitol riot and plans to urge Trump to seriously imagine the United States in power.

In particular, Trump, who came back to power by pointing to a ruling by the Supreme Court that broadly recognized the president's immunity, is expected to warn that he will have unwavering power.

The Harris camp also criticized Trump's racism during the Trump campaign, highlighting his description of Puerto Rico as a trash island.
This is a target with over 400,000 Puerto Ricans in mind in Pennsylvania, a contested state.

The Harris camp also appealed to Hispanic voters, saying Puerto Rico's largest newspaper had issued a statement in support of Harris.
In the meantime, the daughter of former President George Bush, following former Vice President Dick Cheney, a symbol of U.S. neo-con, also declared her support for Harris.
Barbara Pierce Bush has publicly said she hopes voters will support Harris to advance America and protect women's rights.
