A dispatch from Philadelphia: Sonya Harris, 53, a sales manager in Montgomery County, said she plans to vote for Kamala Harris as soon as polls open on Tuesday morning.

Harris, no relation to the woman she hopes is the next president of the United States, came to the Philadelphia rally with her son because she believes that the vice president will help bring an end to the “division, hate and chaos” fanned by Trump over the last decade.

Harris has gotten involved for the first time. This year, she volunteered to canvas and phonebank for Harris – something she has never done for a political candidate before.

She fears what Trump would do if given four more years, especially to abortion access. She said:

I think he’s going to roll back women’s rights to way back when.

But Harris is not feeling anxious about the results tomorrow, quite the opposite.

I’m feeling joy and happiness. I don’t think the world is as dire as the other side says ... And [vice president Harris] has run a very happy campaign. It’s been very positive, it’s been very motivating and inspirational. You feel, we’re not stuck where we think we are, and the world is not coming to an end.

Her neighbor leaned over and chimed in: “She’s gonna win in a landslide.”
