Speaking in Philadelphia to the National Association of Black Journalists, she called for a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian Hamas militants, a two-state solution and Middle East stability in a way that does not empower Iran.
Former President Donald Trump, Harris' Republican rival in the Nov 5 presidential election, has pledged to conduct mass deportations of Haitian immigrants from Springfield if elected, even though the majority are in the United States legally. "One of the big issues that affects people right now in terms of the economy and their economic wellbeing is we have a shortage of housing supply," Harris said."It's too expensive."
In the 2020 presidential election, Black voters supported then-candidate Joe Biden 92 per cent to 8 per cent over the then-incumbent Trump, according to the Pew Research Center. Most Black voters, 63 per cent, plan to support Harris, compared with 13 per cent for Trump, according to an NAACP survey released this month.
