On Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for president, announced her intention to establish a bipartisan council of advisors to provide policy feedback if she wins the election on November 5. Harris also indicated her commitment to including a Republican in her Cabinet, stating, “I don’t want any ‘Yes’ people. I want people to come in and kick the tires on ideas,” during her address at a campaign event in Arizona aimed at garnering Republican support.
To ensure structured input on policy matters, she emphasized the need for a bipartisan council, saying, “So I’m going to create a bipartisan council so we can put some structure around exactly this point. And do the work that is important.”
Harris’s recent campaign efforts included a swing through Nevada and Arizona from Wednesday to Friday. During this trip, she participated in various events, such as a Univision town hall in Las Vegas, a meeting with the Culinary Workers Union Local 226, and a campaign rally in Phoenix.
Both Nevada and Arizona are regarded as critical battleground states in the upcoming election. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll indicated that Harris is leading her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, by three percentage points, with 46 percent support compared to Trump’s 43 percent.
