The remark is being compared to Hillary Clinton's 2016 "deplorables" comment.
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 rallied 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 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, more than 53 million Americans have voted early, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida.
Of the total number of early votes, 27,765,237 were cast in person and 25,686,627 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.
Nearly 3.2 million North Carolinians -- more than 40% of the state’s registered voters -- have voted in the 2024 general election.
Notably, voter turnout in the 25 western North Carolina counties hardest hit by Hurricane Helene is outpacing the overall state turnout rate. The high turnout rate comes as Republican state legislators have raised concerns about voting access in western North Carolina.
Following Helene, the North Carolina State Board of Elections passed a series of measures to expand voting access in the counties impacted by the storm.
Early in-person voting in the state has increased by 2% compared to 2020.

Three people who worked with Harris for more than a decade believe there will be threads in her speech tonight to the type of argument Harris has been building since Trump won in 2016.
It's not just a 100-day campaign, they said.
While they have not seen her remarks, they say several previous speeches and moments best represent the case she's built.
Those include the first big speech she gave the night Trump won the presidency in 2016, which was the same night she was elected to the U.S. Senate. In it, she vowed to fight for reproductive rights and said she believed the nation was at an inflection point.
“Let’s remember what Corretta Scott King told us so long ago, she famously said the fight for civil rights, the fight for justice, the fight for equality must be fought and won -- sí se puede! -- must be fought and won, that fight for civil rights must be fought and won with each generation," Harris said in those remarks.

Fencing has been installed ahead of Harris' speech at the Ellipse in Washington.
Metropolitan police estimate up to 52,000 people may attend the rally.
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.
