Vice President Harris made a trip to Norfolk, Va., on Friday evening to campaign for Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe as part of a final push by top Democrats to boost him in an unexpectedly tight race.
Harris used her appearance to urge voters not to be complacent. She described the Virginia election as a "bellwether" of what will happen in future elections in 2022 and 2024.
"The power is in your hands and elections matter," Harris told the crowd. "If you hadn't did what you did in 2020, I wouldn't be standing here."
Harris described McAuliffe as a champion for abortion rights, health coverage, LGBTQ rights, voting rights and veterans, and said he would take climate change seriously. She described the election as a binary choice of whether the U.S. moves forward or "we turn back the clock."
