Harris warns against falling for Trump's rhetoric that the election process is rigged.

On the last Sunday before Election Day, Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice president candidate, delivered an impassioned speech in Michigan, urging voters to not be swayed by Donald Trump's false claims of a rigged electoral system. Harris, who began her day at a Black church in Detroit, emphasized the need for unity and healing in the face of division. She spoke about the importance of trusting in a higher power's divine plan and not succumbing to the fear and chaos that some seek to spread.

Although she did not directly mention Trump by name, Harris made it clear that her message was in stark contrast to the former president's rhetoric. While Trump was in Pennsylvania declaring the United States a "failed nation," Harris was in Michigan speaking about turning the page on hate and division and charting a new way forward. She also addressed his recent accusations of the Democratic party being "demonic," quoting the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah and reaffirming her belief in a nation that rejects hate and embraces progress.

After the church service, Harris spoke to reporters, pushing back against Trump's attempts to undermine the legitimacy of the upcoming election. She emphasized that the United States has a robust and fair electoral system, and that Trump's claims are merely a distraction from the fact that he lost the 2020 election. Harris urged voters, particularly those who have not yet voted, to not fall for his tactics and to have faith in the democratic process.

During her visit to Michigan, Harris also acknowledged the significant population of Arab Americans in the state, many of whom are upset with the Biden administration's alliance with Israel in the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza. Harris expressed her concerns about the loss of innocent lives and stated that as president, she would do everything in her power to end the war and secure the release of any hostages.

As part of her campaign efforts, Harris has been making a point to address Black congregations in crucial battleground states such as Michigan. After her speech at the church, she visited a local restaurant owned by a former Detroit Lions player and had lunch with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Later, she stopped by a Black-owned barbershop for a conversation with local leaders and Black men.

Michigan, along with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, is considered a critical state for Harris' success in the election. While Barack Obama won these states in 2008 and 2012, Trump managed to flip them in 2016, causing some backlash towards the Democratic party for taking them for granted. In 2020, however, Biden was able to win them back, but the pressure is still on for Harris to secure victories in other key states like North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.
