During last night's CNN Town Hall, Kamala Harris gave a strong answer when asked about why disaffected Republicans should vote for her.
A college student asked the Vice President, "As someone who hasn't fully committed to either party, how do you plan to address the concerns of independent voters and anti-Trump Republicans like myself, who feel left out of the polarized political landscape, and what specific actions would you take to bridge the political divide and create more unity?"
Harris responded:
"I pledge to you to be a president for all Americans, and I think to the point of — in the spirit of your question, that people are frankly exhausted with what has been happening over the last several years, which is this environment that is suggesting that Americans should be pointing fingers at one another, that we are divided as a nation ... I think a majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us, and I think that the American people deserve to have a president who is grounded in what is common sense, what is practical, and what is in the best interest of the people, not themselves."
"I started my career as a prosecutor," the Democratic candidate continued. "I have never, in my career as a prosecutor, asked a victim or a witness of a crime, are you a Democrat or a Republican? The only thing I have ever asked is, 'Are you okay?' And I do believe that is what the American people deserve in their president, and not someone who makes decisions based on who voted for them or what is in their personal interest."
