Elsewhere in the election campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris is attacking Donald Trump’s running mate.

Speaking to supporters in North Carolina, Harris mentioned J.D. Vance’s speech at the RNC on Wednesday.

She says her story of growing up in southwest Ohio is “compelling,” but “it’s not the whole story.”

“What’s very telling is what he didn’t talk about on stage,” she says.

One omission, Harris said, is Project 2025, which she calls “a 900-page blueprint for a second Trump term.”

She says the plan is “extreme and divisive” and “deprives entire groups of Americans of basic freedoms, opportunities and dignity.”

“In recent days, they’ve tried to present themselves as the party of unity,” Harris said of her Republican opponents.

“But if you claim to defend unity, you have to do more than just use the word.”

She also defended Joe Biden’s record as a president who works for the people, adding that the contrast between him and Trump is like “night and day.”
