Harris tells Philadelphia TV station she can win over Trump voters who are tired of his divisiveness

 Vice President Kamala Harris told a local Pennsylvania station Friday she thinks she can win over voters who may align with former President Donald Trump’s values but are tired of divisiveness.

“I, based on experience and lived experience, know in my heart, I know in my soul, I know that the vast majority of us as Americans have so much more in common than what separates us. And I also believe that I am accurate in knowing that most Americans want a leader who brings us together as Americans, and not someone who professes to be a leader who is trying to have us point our fingers at each other,” Harris told the Philadelphia station WPVI in her first one-on-one interview as the Democratic presidential nominee.

Pressed on how she differs from President Joe Biden, who recently campaigned with Harris in Pennsylvania, Harris responded, “I’m obviously not Joe Biden, and you know, I offer a new generation of leadership,” saying she recognizes in her economic approach “some of the stuff we could take for granted years ago, we can’t take for granted anymore.” 

She said people are “exhausted” by Trump’s approach and want a leader who has “common sense and tries to find common ground,” pointing to her recent endorsements by Republicans including former Vice President Dick Cheney and former congresswoman Liz Cheney.
