Vice President Kamala Harris warned that US democracy is under threat in her Martin Luther King Jr Day speech in South Carolina just hours ahead of the Republican Iowa caucuses.
Ms Harris attended an event hosted by the NAACP, the oldest civil rights group in the country, on Monday. She pushed the notion that motivated President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign and his attempt to get re-elected alongside Ms Harris – that voters need to turn out for Democrats to stop Republicans from cracking down on their rights.
