"I see an incredible number of our young people, our young leers. Oh! It would inspire you to see how y are organizing for change. What I love about that generation, y are quite impatient in a most wonderful way. As I travel our nation, I see neighbours helping neighbours who were perfect strangers before. But now neighbours recover and rebuild from disasters," she said, giving her description of country as she enters final stretch of her presidential campaign.

What kind of country do we want for our children and our grandchildren? A country of chaos, fear, and hate, or a country of freedom, justice, and compassion?" she asked.

" great thing about living in a democracy, as long as we can hold on to it, is that we have power, to answer that question," Harris said. "So I'll close by saying let us answer n, not just with our words, but with our works. Not just with our faith, but with our feet, as we walk to polls," she said.

"Let us turn page and write next chapter of our history, a chapter grounded in a divine plan big enough to encompass all of our dreams, a divine plan strong enough to heal division, a divine plan bold enough to embrace possibility, God's plan. In se next two days, we will be tested. se days will demand everything we've got. But when I think about days ahe and God we serve, we were born for such a time as this, Harris said.
