Kamala Harris Urges 'Too Big to Rig' Voter Turnout Ahead of Midterms
ConfirmedShare on
In Short: Former Vice President Kamala Harris is on a campaign trail, urging Democratic voters to channel their frustrations with President Donald Trump into a massive voter turnout ahead of the midterm elections.
Harris emphasized the importance of a 'too big to rig' turnout, warning that Trump could attempt to interfere in the election.
During a busy schedule in the final stretch of the campaign, Harris has been campaigning for Democratic candidates in seven states, including a two-day visit to Georgia.
At an Atlanta campaign event, Harris said, 'This is the moment where we turn that anger into action,' and called for structural changes such as expanding the Supreme Court, granting statehood to Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, and reconsidering the Electoral College.
Harris also urged Black voters and others to honor the ancestors with their votes, emphasizing the need to 'honor the ancestors' and 'honor the work of those who came before us.'
Harris has been unapologetically 'transactional,' demanding more from politicians and urging fellow Democrats to govern ruthlessly, but not in a cruel sense, but in their willingness to use power to deliver on commitments.
Harris's campaign has resonated with Democratic donors and activists, with Melinda Johnson, a retired nurse, saying, 'I think she’s hitting all the right notes.'
Harris also made campaign stops in early presidential primary states, including Nevada, New Hampshire, and Michigan.
Harris's campaign strategy includes jabs at Trump, calling him 'callous, corrupt and incompetent' and the 'decorator in chief' for his White House renovations and gold adornments.
What this adds
Harris's campaign strategy includes a focus on emotional appeals, addressing the range of emotions many voters have experienced over the past year and a half.
