As the race reaches one week until Election Day, Kamala Harris delivered her "closing argument" on The Ellipse -- in the same spot where Donald Trump allied his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, to march on the U.S. Capitol nearby.
Trump tried to preempt Harris's remarks, speaking to reporters Tuesday morning at Mar-a-Lago after declaring he's "the opposite of a Nazi" on Monday night in Georgia. He holds a rally later in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where there is a large population of Puerto Rican Americans.
As of 4:40 p.m. ET on Tuesday, more than 51 million Americans have voted early, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida.
Of the total number of early votes, 26,855,025 were cast in person and 24,573,128 were returned by mail
There is now just one week until Election Day.
The Harris campaign announced Jennifer Lopez will give remarks in Las Vegas on Thursday. The event will also feature a performance by Maná.
Lopez was one of several Hispanic celebrities to show support for Harris this week after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage" at Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden.

The event, for which gates open at 3 p.m. ET, has been advertised to Harris supporters with push alerts, emails and online ads.
The Secret Service said in a statement to ABC News that it is "working closely with our federal and local partners to ensure the safety and security of Vice President Harris and all attendees at the campaign event on Tuesday at the White House Ellipse.
Several protest groups have announced plans to protest Harris' speech, including a large group of anti-war and pro-Palestinian protesters from several well known Washington-based groups.
According to the California Secretary of State, around 4.2 million mail-in ballots have been accepted by county registrar's offices. In other words, 21% of all of California's 22.8 million registered voters have already cast their ballots.
That percentage varies depending on the county. In Los Angeles County, 13% of registered voters' ballots have been accepted. In Ventura and Orange counties, the number is much higher - almost 22%.
The number of mail-in votes reached record-highs back in the 2020 presidential election, when 86.7% of Californians voted by mail. In total, 80.7% of registered voters cast ballots in the November 2020 contest.
