Vice President Kamala Harris returned to North Carolina on Thursday, the same day Republican Donald Trump is speaking at the Republican National Convention.
Harris called the coming election “the most existential, consequential and important election of our lifetime.”
Harris referred to Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his vice president pick by saying, “Donald Trump is trying to distract people. He wants to distract people away from his record and his project 2025 plan.
“We are not falling for the okie-doke,” Harris said.
