Vice President Harris Campaigns In Pennsylvania With Progressive Allies

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris campaigns for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee and former governor Terry McAuliffe in Norfolk

Vice President Harris used her remaining campaign time before Election Day to make a stop in Pennsylvania alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., a member of the progressive 'Squad.'

Harris visited Old San Juan Café in Reading with Ocasio-Cortez and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Monday night. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Penn., and Reading Mayor Eddie Moran also joined.

Supporters chanted 'Sí, se puede' and 'Kamala' as the vice president’s motorcade pulled up to the café. Harris chatted with some diners inside and later ordered cassava, yellow rice, and pork, saying, 'I’m very hungry' as she noted that she has been too busy campaigning to find time to eat.

While in Reading, Harris also canvassed with supporters, knocking on doors.
