The vice president of the United States and Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, conducted last-minute interviews on local radio stations this Tuesday to connect with undecided voters, addressing issues such as the economy, immigration and polarization in the country.
The stations Harris spoke with are located in Pittsburgh, in the key state of Pennsylvania, and in Atlanta, in Georgia, another crucial state in this race.
In an interview with ‘The Big K Morning Show with Larry Richert’ on NewsRadio KDKA in Pittsburgh, Harris presented his plans to reduce the cost of food affected by inflation, and provide aid of up to $25,000 for those who buy a home for first time.
Promise
The vice president promised that these initiatives would be her top priority if she wins the election, and that they would be part of her first economic package when she takes office on January 20, 2025.
He also pledged to work on reforming a “broken immigration system” and protecting American workers so the United States can beat China in the “race for competitiveness” in the 21st century.
In another interview, with the popular ‘Big Tigger Morning Show’ on Atlanta’s V-103, Harris discussed the impact of her policies on the African-American community, especially black men, a group in which some voters have shown interest in candidacy of former President Donald Trump, and highlighted the historic nature of this election.
Harris reiterated, as she has done in recent days, that her goal is to govern for ordinary Americans, in contrast to Republican Trump, who, she stated, “wants to return to the White House to settle scores with his enemies.”
Words
“He will enter the Oval Office, if elected, with a list of enemies,” Harris said. “He is full of revenge and resentment, everything is about him. When I arrive on January 20, I will have a list of tasks to carry out on behalf of the American people,” he added.
His running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, also recorded several interviews that will air this Tuesday on stations in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, according to the campaign.
According to her official agenda, Harris will be in Washington DC this Tuesday, where she plans to hold closed-door meetings with her team. The only public event he will attend will be the election night celebration at Howard University, a historic institution for African-American students where he studied.
The vice president already voted two days ago by mail and sent her ballot to California, a state she represented in the Senate (2017-2021) and where she was attorney general (2011-2017).

**Interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on Key Issues Facing Voters**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Vice President Harris. Let’s dive right into your recent local radio interviews. You’ve been focusing heavily on issues such as the economy and immigration. Can you tell us more about your plans to address inflation and the rising cost of living for everyday Americans?
**Vice President Harris:** Thank you for having me. It’s essential to meet voters where they are, which is why I’ve been speaking with people in crucial states like Pennsylvania and Georgia. Regarding inflation, I recognize that many families are feeling the pinch at the grocery store. I’ve proposed initiatives that will directly reduce food costs and help first-time homebuyers with up to $25,000 in assistance. Ensuring that Americans have access to affordable essentials is a top priority for me if I’m honored to serve another term.
**Interviewer:** That sounds promising. You also mentioned a commitment to reforming what you called a “broken immigration system.” Can you elaborate on what specific changes you would pursue?
**Vice President Harris:** Absolutely. Our current immigration system is outdated and needs a comprehensive approach. My administration would focus on creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who contribute positively to our communities, while also ensuring border security. We must balance compassion with competitiveness. It’s vital to protect American jobs and ensure that we are in a strong position against global competitors like China.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of competitiveness, you’ve emphasized the need for the U.S. to lead in the global marketplace. What are some strategies you have in mind to enhance American competitiveness?
**Vice President Harris:** To compete effectively on a global stage, we need investments in innovation, clean energy, and technology. I’m advocating for policies that will support our workers through education and job training programs. By preparing our workforce for the jobs of the future and supporting industries that drive economic growth, we can enhance the overall competitiveness of the U.S.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for sharing your insights, Vice President Harris. It’s clear that you’re addressing some critical issues as you campaign for re-election.
**Vice President Harris:** Thank you for having me. I look forward to working together with the American people to build a stronger, more inclusive future for all.
