Vice President Kamala Harris made a final pitch to Michigan voters on Sunday evening, asking people who had not yet voted to cast their ballots on Election Day and those who had already done so to help get her campaign across the finish line in the battleground state.
With two days to go in “one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime,” Harris asserted, “we have momentum. It is on our side.”
“We have the momentum because our campaign is tapping into the ambitions, the aspirations and the dreams of the American people, because we are optimistic and excited about what we can do together, and because we know it is time for a new generation of leadership in America,” she continued.
Harris chose to finish out her last scheduled swing through Michigan in East Lansing, home of Michigan State University, in an auditorium packed with many young people, as her campaign hopes to garner the youth vote to boost her over former President Donald Trump in the state. The city is also in a highly competitive congressional district that Democrats hope to retain to help them gain control of the the House.
“Michigan, I am here to ask for your vote,” Harris said, to a prolonged cheer from the crowd. She again pledged to seek “common ground and common sense solutions” and vowed she was “not looking to score political points.”
“We need everyone to vote in Michigan. You will make the difference in this election,” she said.
CNN’s average of polling shows no clear leader between Harris and Trump in Michigan, with the vice president at 48% and the former president at 46%.
