Vice President Kamala Harris made a final pitch to Michigan voters on Sunday evening, urging those who had not yet voted to cast their ballots on Election Day and rallying those who had already voted to help push her campaign across the finish line in the battleground state.
With just two days remaining in what she described as 'one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime,' Harris emphasized the momentum behind her campaign, stating, 'we have momentum. It is on our side.'
Addressing a crowd in East Lansing, home of Michigan State University, Harris highlighted her campaign's focus on tapping into the ambitions, aspirations, and dreams of the American people. She expressed optimism and excitement about the potential for collective action and stressed the need for a new generation of leadership in America.
The vice president's choice to conclude her Michigan campaign swing in a city with a significant youth population underscores her campaign's efforts to secure the youth vote and edge out former President Donald Trump in the state. East Lansing is situated in a competitive congressional district that Democrats are keen on retaining to bolster their chances of gaining control of the House.
'Michigan, I am here to ask for your vote,' Harris declared, prompting a spirited response from the audience. She reiterated her commitment to seeking common ground and practical solutions, emphasizing that her focus was on problem-solving rather than political point-scoring.
Encouraging voter turnout, Harris emphasized the critical role that Michigan voters would play in determining the outcome of the election, stating, 'We need everyone to vote in Michigan. You will make the difference in this election.'
Recent polling averages in Michigan show a tight race between Harris and Trump, with the vice president holding a slight lead at 48% compared to the former president's 46%.
