Pennsylvania: With less than two weeks to go until the presidential elections, US Vice President Kamala Harris conveyed her desire to lead “all Americans.” Speaking to reporters during a press briefing before heading to Georgia for campaigning, Harris noted that she has encountered both men and women expressing their concerns about the future of democracy in equal measure.
The US is set to hold elections in less than two weeks, with former President Donald Trump seeking a second term and Vice President Kamala Harris running for her first term in the White House.
Kamala Harris emphasized that Americans desire a president who leads the nation with optimism and addresses the challenges they face. She accused Donald Trump of stripping away people’s fundamental freedoms.
Asked about her views on the gender gap issue in polls and why she thinks that she has more support among women than Trump, Harris responded, “I have to be honest with you, it’s not what I see in terms of my rallies, in terms of the interactions I’m having with people in communities and on the ground. What I am seeing is in equal measure, men and women talking about their concerns about the future of our democracy; talking about the fact that they want a president who leads with optimism and takes on the challenges that we face, whether it be grocery prices or investing in small businesses or homeownership.”
“So, I’m not actually seeing that kind of disparity, and I intend to be a president for all Americans. And that includes paying attention, yes, to a fundamental freedom that has been taken away because of Donald Trump — the freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body — and, in equal measure, to prioritize the economic needs of individuals and families in America and what we also must do in terms of upholding our strength and standing on the global stage,” she stated.
Harris also addressed the border issue, stating that making sure the U.S. border is secure is her “highest priority.” She pledged that, if elected, she would introduce a bipartisan border security bill and sign it into law.
When asked if construction of the southern border wall would continue under her administration, Harris responded, “I will tell you that my highest priority is to put the resources into ensuring that our border is secure, which is why I’ve been very clear: I’m going to bring back up, as president, that bipartisan border security bill and make sure that it is brought to my desk so I can sign it into law.”
“The biggest issue that we have right now is that Donald Trump has stood in the way of what would have been a proven part of the solution to the bigger problem, which is that we have a broken immigration system in America, and we need to fix it. And we have the tools at hand, but we have on the other side of this election, Donald Trump, who would prefer to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem.I intend to fix the problem in a way that is just about practical solutions that are within our arms reach if we have the commitment to do it,” she added.
