Live coverage: Kamala Harris holds rally at The Ellipse in Washington

With a week left before the American election, Kamala Harris is holding a rally at a pointed location to reveal her “closing argument”.

Welcome to our live coverage of the US election campaign.

We have a week to go until, at long last, the polls close in the contest between former president Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, and current Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat.

Earlier this week we brought you live coverage of Mr Trump’s rally in New York’s Madison Square Garden, which was pitched by his campaign as a sample of his closing argument.

Today we are doing the same for Ms Harris. She is addressing a crowd of supporters at The Ellipse in America’s capital, Washington D.C., a location near the White House, and the same spot where Mr Trump riled up his supporters before the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.

Read on for the latest updates.
