Harris urges those worried about civil unrest to ‘have faith in the American people’
Kamala Harris briefly spoke with reporters as she arrived in Detroit, Michigan, for her Election Day visit.
She spoke about the significance of Michigan to the White House, saying the purpose of the trip was to ensure that Michigan voters felt seen and heard by the Democratic ticket.
"The path to the White House and the path to determining who will be the next president of the United States, without question, runs through Michigan," she said. “So I’m just here to remind people of the Detroit that, that they are seen and heard by Joe and me and also that they may actually decide the outcome of this race."
Harris was asked what she would say to Americans nervous about the potential for civil unrest after the polls close.
“Have faith in the American people,” she responded. “I do strongly believe that we, whoever you vote for, will defend the integrity of our democracy and a peaceful transfer of power.”
Finally, Harris was also asked how she’s feeling about her and Joe Biden’s chances at winning.
“Listen, the day ain’t over,” she responded. “Ask me after the polls close. Maybe I’ll have a better idea, but right now, I’m just here to remind people to vote because the election is still happening right now. It’s not over.”
Harris is slated to make a couple of local stops in the Motor City before flying to Delaware for the campaign’s Election Night event.
