Vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, addressing a rally in Wisconsin on Friday night, urged the crowd not to focus too much on polls. She referred to herself as an 'underdog' in the presidential race and stressed on the importance of 'hard work.'
"With 46 days until the election, what we know is this is going to be a tight race until the very end.
So, let’s not pay too much attention to the polls, because let’s be clear, we are the underdog in this race, and we have some hard work ahead of us," Harris said at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Madison.
The vice president began the rally by thanking the local Teamsters organisation, Joint Council 39, for their endorsement. While she has backing from local Teamsters unions, Teamsters general president Sean O’Brien announced that the union will not make an endorsement in the presidential election.

Harris described her campaign as one focused on unity, addressing an estimated crowd of more than 10,500 people. “We’re tired of all the division and hate they’re pushing,” she said.
“This is a people-powered campaign. This is a campaign about building community, building coalitions, and reminding us all that we’re in this together and that we’re going to be okay,” Harris added.
The vice president currently holds a 3.6% lead over Trump nationally, according to The Hill. In Wisconsin, a key battleground state, she leads by 2%. Polling aggregator Nate Silver’s forecast shows Harris ahead with 48.9% compared to Trump’s 46.1%.
