Vice President Harris is campaigning across Philadelphia on Sunday in a last-minute appeal to voters in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania.
She tried to contrast herself with former President Trump, who has said bad things happen in Philadelphia in the past.
“He talks about America being the garbage can of the world and just continuously, I think, demeans the character and nature of who we are as America and who the American people are,” Harris said. “And clearly, it is intended to keep fanning the flames of hate and division.”
Harris addressed congregants at the Church of Christian Compassion in Philadelphia on Sunday. She spent the day going to different neighborhoods to meet with voters.
The Harris campaign noted that Trump was hosting an event in New York City.
The former president is hosting an event at Madison Square Garden. It’s expected to draw thousands to the deep-blue Manhattan.
With less than two weeks until Election Day, the New York City rally may be questionable to some, but sources close to the Trump campaign say it’s about generating media attention in the last days of the race.
Harris and Trump are neck-and-neck nationally, and the race is expected to be one of the closest in history.
According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Harris has a 0.6 percentage point lead over Trump. She earns 48.6 percent support to Trump’s 48 percent support, the aggregation of polls finds.
