Kamala Harris Urges Black Michiganders to Vote as Joe Biden Declares "I Am Not a Socialist"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In campaign news, Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris
traveled to the battleground state of Michigan Tuesday, where she
appealed to Black voters to help defeat Donald Trump in November. This
is Senator Harris speaking at an event in Detroit.

Sen. Kamala Harris: "Why do you think they are trying to suppress and to
make it difficult or to confuse Black people around voting? And the
answer is simple: because they know when we vote, things change."

Meanwhile, Joe Biden beat back a reporter's suggestion he would pursue a
socialist agenda if elected president, taking a swipe at Vermont
independent Senator Bernie Sanders and his supporters. Biden was
speaking to a local TV reporter in northeastern Wisconsin.

Joe Biden: "I beat the socialist. That's how I got elected. That's how I
got the nomination. Do I look like a socialist? Look at my career, my
whole career. I am not a socialist."

On Tuesday, Cindy Mc Cain, the widow of the late Republican senator and
2008 presidential candidate John Mc Cain, announced she will endorse Joe
Biden for president.
