Washington:
Democratic Party vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris said Sunday that the church has always been a source of strength and a place of reflection for her.
“For me, the church has always been a source of strength and a place for reflection. And in my private conversations with God, I usually ask for strength, protection and guidance to do the right thing,” Harris said at a drive-in. church service in Southfield, Michigan, which is just outside of Detroit.
“I know this is not how we usually do the church, but it is a reminder, pastor, that faith always finds its way,” he said, referring to the unusual situation of the coronavirus pandemic.
Harris, 56, said faith must be a verb.
“We must live it in our actions. That is the kind of faith that I was taught from the beginning, Pastor,” he said.
The vice presidential candidate has been spending a considerable amount of time in this battlefield state, which, like 2016, is heading for a close race.
“I’m traveling across the country, but I keep coming back to Detroit,” Harris said, highlighting the importance of the state’s most populous city in influencing state election results.
“You know, in 2016, right, we remember what happened? When this natural disaster hit us, who’s in the White House now, right? In 2016, they won by just an average of two votes per district. Think about it – the power of the vote. So let’s make sure that doesn’t happen again, okay? And that means: let’s make sure everyone votes, “Harris said.
“In 2016, (the margin of victory) averaged two votes per district. We know we can do better, and we know the stakes are high, and we know that ancestors trust us not to let them down when there is so much at stake. Game. So Detroit, thank you, thank you. Let’s bring this home! Let’s bring this home! Show the country and the world that Detroit made a difference in this election, “she said.

“Like, this is doable! We can do this! We will do this! We will do this! We will elect Joe Biden as the next president of the United States!” she added.
In his comments, Harris reiterated that everything is at stake in this election.
“Everything is at stake. Let’s look at the fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic right now. One in every 1,000 black people in the United States has died of COVID. One in 500, it is estimated by the end of the year If they cannot control it , they will die from COVID. Black people are three times more likely to contract the disease, twice as likely to die from it, and not surprisingly it has a lot to do with long-standing racial problems. these systems, “he said.
Harris alleged that across the country, powerful people are trying to make it difficult for the people to vote.
“And you have to ask, why are so many powerful people trying to suppress our vote, trying to confuse us about voting? Playing with the post office. Can you believe, playing with the post office? They know our power,” he said .
“They know our power. They know that when we vote, things change. They know that when we vote, we win. So let’s not let anyone take away our power, ever,” he said.
