Harris puts focus on beating Trump, not concerns over Biden, as she tries to appeal to Black voters
CNNNew Orleans CNN — Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday put the focus on the dangers of a second Trump administration, rather than the growing concerns over President Joe Biden’s candidacy, as she attempted to convince Black voters to once again deliver a win for the Biden-Harris ticket. “We’ve all had a bad day,” the Ohio Democrat said, later adding: “Don’t go out there turning your back on this president.” California Rep. Maxine Waters emphasized, “Biden is not going anywhere.” When asked whether she would support Harris — a fellow Californian — if the president were to drop out, Waters said, “We’re focused on Biden. Peris said Biden’s poor debate performance was “a one-off,” adding, “Everybody gets sick. Everyone has an off day.” Laura Morgan Roberts of Washington, DC, said it’s a “no-brainer” that she will vote for Biden in November, but added, “I am 100% confident in Vice President Kamala Harris’ ability, commitment, desire to lead the country and do what’s best for our people.” Meanwhile, Michelle Buxton from Chattanooga, Tennessee, told CNN, “It just seems like they aren’t giving a chance.” “We’re here all working together and I think it almost seems personal,” Buxton said.
