If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot: Kamala Harris
Michigan: Kamala Harris participated in a star-studded rally hosted by Oprah Winfrey in Michigan, aiming to energise voters ahead of the crucial November 5 election. During the event, which featured appearances from Hollywood stars like Jennifer Lopez and Meryl Streep, Harris discussed key campaign issues, including abortion, the economy, and gun control.
In a light-hearted moment, she stated, “I'm a gun owner too; if somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot,” before joking about the potential backlash from her staff. The rally was part of Harris's strategy to unify voters against the divisive politics represented by former President Donald Trump.
While Harris gained traction from a recent poll showing her leading in Pennsylvania, the race remains tight nationwide. Trump, in contrast, held a darker event where he criticised Jewish Americans for their voting patterns, suggesting that their support would be critical to his campaign.
As the election nears, both candidates are actively seeking support from key demographics, including unions and various community groups. Harris's campaign faces challenges, particularly in areas with significant Arab-American populations opposed to U.S. policies regarding the Israel-Gaza conflict.
