Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment but did not immediately receive a response. “

“Nevada, I’m asking for your vote here,” Harris told the crowd. “I ask for your vote.” And here is my promise to you, and I stand with you: As President, I promise you to seek common ground and common-sense solutions to the challenges you face. It’s not about scoring political points for me.”

“I want to make progress. And I promise to listen to experts, to listen to those who are influenced by my decisions, and to listen to people who disagree with me. Because that’s exactly what real leaders do.”
