Kamala Harris addressed donors at a fundraiser in Houston, emphasizing the urgency of the upcoming November election. She acknowledged that her campaign is considered the underdog in the race and stressed the importance of hard work in the remaining days leading up to the election.
The fundraiser in Houston successfully raised $2.5 million, surpassing its initial goal of $1 million. Despite being organized in just four days, the event attracted significant support from donors.
Harris used the opportunity to draw a contrast between her record and that of former President Donald Trump. She reiterated her commitment to fighting for a cause rather than against something, emphasizing the high stakes involved in the election.
During her speech, Harris emphasized the need to move forward and not regress, echoing sentiments she has expressed in previous events. She highlighted the importance of the election as a pivotal moment for the country.
Following the fundraiser, Vice President Harris proceeded to deliver remarks at a gathering of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority in Houston. The sorority is part of the Divine Nine, a coalition of nine historically Black fraternities and sororities.
