Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the significance of the upcoming election during a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, a key battleground state. With just five days remaining until Election Day, Harris addressed a crowd of supporters, stating that this election is one of the most consequential in our lifetime.
During her speech, Harris highlighted the value of hard work and expressed confidence in a positive outcome. She reiterated her commitment to fighting for voters and referenced her past efforts as a prosecutor, particularly in challenging for-profit colleges and major financial institutions.
Despite a brief interruption by a protester at the rally, Harris remained composed and underscored the importance of democracy and the right of individuals to voice their opinions. She acknowledged the complexities of democracy but affirmed her belief in the fundamental principle of allowing everyone to be heard.
Arizona holds significant importance in the election due to its 11 electoral votes and status as a tossup state. Both presidential campaigns have intensified their efforts in Arizona, recognizing its potential impact on the overall outcome. Two key voting groups in the state, Latino voters comprising a third of the population and right-leaning independent voters in Maricopa County, are expected to play crucial roles in determining the election results.
