Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise visit to the Democratic National Committee headquarters on Tuesday afternoon to participate in phone banking activities just hours before the first polls closed. Harris greeted the staff and expressed her gratitude for their efforts before diving into contacting potential voters.
During her time at the headquarters, Harris prioritized engaging with voters over responding to reporters' questions, emphasizing the importance of direct voter outreach. She spoke with multiple individuals over the phone, encouraging them to follow through with their voting plans for the day.
One of the conversations captured Harris checking in on a voter's well-being and ensuring they knew where to cast their vote if they hadn't done so already. She stressed the significance of voter participation and expressed her appreciation for the individual's commitment amidst other responsibilities.
After spending time engaging with voters, Harris concluded her phone banking session and left the room at 3:42 p.m., having made a personal effort to connect with potential voters and encourage civic engagement.
