Harris projects confidence in chances to defeat Trump in remarks at Los Angeles fundraiser

 Vice President Kamala Harris projected confidence about her chances in November’s presidential election at a fundraiser in Los Angeles on Sunday, stressing the race is “as close as it can be” but telling donors that “we are going to win.”

Harris noted that voters are already able to cast their ballots in some key battlegrounds and remained confident she would defeat former President Donald Trump when all the votes are counted.

“The election is in 37 days, and early voting and vote by mail has already started at some states, including Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin,” she said, according to reporters traveling with the vice president. “And let me be clear, we are going to win.”

“This race is as close as it can be,” she continued, “and we are the underdog, friends.”

Harris reiterated many of her positions on the economy, drawing a contrast with her proposals and those of Trump, who she called an “unserious man.” She also joked about her crowd sizes in an apparent effort to antagonize the former president.

“So as I say, everywhere I go and I’m traveling our country, I say — and the crowd’s pretty big,” Harris said as attendees applauded.

“And everywhere I go, I say and people say it back — ‘We are not going back.’ We don’t have to, because ours is truly a fight,” she added.
