Live coverage: Kamala Harris holds rally at The Ellipse, Biden labels Trump supporters ‘garbage’

Joe Biden has derailed his party’s presidential candidate’s closing message with an extraordinary broadside against Donald Trump’s supporters.

'The only garbage I see is his supporters'- Biden's outrageous sledge

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 addressed 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.

But her message may have been lost amid the controversy sparked by current President Joe Biden, who went and labelled Mr Trump’s supporters “garbage”.

Read on for the latest updates.
