The Harris campaign says second gentleman Doug Emhoff will give a speech in Pittsburgh later today “on the threat posed to Jewish people by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s antisemitism and desire for unchecked power.”

The speech will come one day after the sixth anniversary of the deadliest massacre of Jewish Americans, at the Tree of Life Synagogue.

“He will call out Donald Trump’s history of praising Hitler and scapegoating Jewish Americans to their faces,” the campaign says, describing the speech as a “closing argument to Jewish voters” ahead of next week’s election.
