Vice President Kamala Harris urged Americans eligible to vote to go out and cast their vote as the race for the White House reached its climax on Nov. 5.
“I would urge everyone to just remember that in our democracy, the people get to decide and your vote is your power,” she said on The Big K Morning Show with Larry Richert on NewsRadio KDKA in Pittsburgh.
On her main priority if voted as the President of the United States, Harris said that she will work to reduce the cost of living for Americans. “I have a package of plans that address that. Everything from what we need to do to create, for example a first time national ban on corporate price gouging on groceries, what we can do around tax credits for young families, tax credits and support for small businesses, including what we can do around a $25,000 down payment assistance for first time home buyers. So I have a whole package of issues that are all directed at bringing down the cost of living. “
On the critical issue of immigration, the Vice President acknowledged that America has a broken immigration system that is in need of immediate changes. “It's been broken for a long time through, frankly, Democratic and Republican administrations, and we can fix it. The Congress through the United States Senate, some of the most conservative members, came up with a bill, which I supported, “ she said.
Lastly, commenting on the growing political divide in the country, Harris urged Americans to express differences yet stand united and believe in the promise of America. “I see it around our country. I'm traveling; people are yearning for an approach that is about bringing us together. They're frankly exhausted with this era that has been about dividing us.”
“Listen, we're a democracy. We're always going to have disagreements. We like good debates, healthy debates; we're Americans. But leadership should be about trying to find common ground and common sense solutions that bring people together through consensus and compromise. Not constantly berating and putting people down. That's not about progress for our country,” she added.
