EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – Vice President Kamala Harris made a campaign stop here in East Lansing on Sunday with just days to go until the election. Speaking on topics like abortion, young voters and the war in Gaza.

“Hello Michigan,” said Kamala Harris.

The race for the presidency is closing in as election day is just days away. Vice President Kamala Harris making her 11th trip to Michigan and opening her speech with remarks on the Israel-Hamas war.

“This year has been difficult given the scale of death and destruction in Gaza and given the civilian casualties and displacement in Lebanon, it is devastating and as president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza,” said Harris.

Harris along with Representative Elissa Slotkin and several Michigan State students rallied at Michigan State Jenison Fieldhouse on Sunday. Calling this campaign stop ‘Get out the vote’ as they encourage voters, especially the younger generation to get out and vote on election day.

“As a student and a first-time voter, I’m looking for someone who will fight for me, my future and everyone else in this room. Not just them self,” said an MSU Senior.

During her speech, Harris said it’s time for a new generation of leadership in America.

“We have the momentum because our campaign is tapping into the ambition, the aspiration and the dreams of the American people because we are optimistic and excited about what we can do together,” said Harris.
