Harris talks up Dem candidates in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania
Vice President Kamala Harris spent part of her day on radio shows expressing support for Democratic candidates in key races in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
In a brief appearance on The Earl Ingram Show Tuesday morning, Harris pushed Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers' reelection bid.
"He has cut taxes for working families. He's lowered costs for small businesses in Wisconsin in Milwaukee, and he must be reelected because he really does stand for our democracy and for freedom and equality," she said.
Harris also said electing Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes to the Senate would play a crucial role in the president's ability to sign the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act into law.
"It would be so important to put back teeth in the Voting Rights Act that folks marched and died for, and these are the things that are at stake," she said.
In another radio interview later in the day on Philadelphia's Evening WURDs, Harris urged voters in Pennsylvania to vote for Lt. Gov. John Fetterman for Senate, particularly as the Senate attempts to pass an assault weapons ban.
"Democrats understand the need to extend and to renew the assault weapons ban, and we need John Fetterman in the United States Senate to have the votes toward doing that," she said.
Harris also called on voters to elect state Attorney General Josh Shapiro as the governor of Pennsylvania "because people have a right to live in safe communities" and not be threatened by gun violence, she said.
