Vice President Kamala Harris of the United States has said that America is absolutely ready to elect its first woman president.
This is as she downplayed her historic bid, saying she simply wanted to turn the page for a nation exhausted by Donald Trump.
With few days to Election Day, Harris and Trump are saturating swing states with rallies and taking to the airwaves and podcasts on the hunt for an advantage in a race that polls suggest is effectively tied.
When asked if America was ready to elect its first woman, Harris responded, “absolutely”, noting that her candidacy was about turning the page.
“People are exhausted with Donald Trump and his approach, because it’s all about himself,” she said.
Trump, while speaking to supporters in North Carolina, had pitched a very different message.
“This election is a choice between whether we will have four more years of incompetence, failure and disaster, or whether we’ll begin the four greatest years in the history of our country,” he said.
He repeatedly called Harris and her running mate Tim Walz stupid during the rally.
