At least one person will need to use the bathroom, right? RelatedWhat to Know About Kamala Harris’s Speech on the Ellipse When the whooshing sound of the Blue Wave crashing becomes too much for your bladder to bear, Washingtonian has you covered with this guide to nearby public restrooms. On the National Mall While the Mall’s bathroom situation is famously inadequate, there are porta-potties set up across Constitution Avenue from the Ellipse and eight functional public restrooms on the Mall—if you’re able to walk a ways—as well as a handful of toilets nestled inside the Smithsonian museums that don’t require entry tickets, plus the White House Visitor Center. Keep in mind that these facilities will close before Harris takes the stage.
