Moreover, in a social media post, Harris emphasised the need to bring stricter controls on possession and guns.
"I am a gun owner, and I believe we can protect the Second Amendment while also passing gun safety laws. We need to reinstate the assault weapons ban and pass universal background checks, safe storage laws, and red flag laws to keep our children and communities safe," she stated in a post on X.
Earlier on Sunday, the Vice President also promised to legalize recreational marijuana.
"I will legalize recreational marijuana, break down unjust legal barriers, and create opportunities for all Americans to succeed in this new industry," she stated.
Kamala Harris is the first female, first Black, and first Asian American vice president. If elected president, the 59-year-old Harris would become the first woman in history to become the US president. She is also only the second woman ever nominated for the presidency by a major political party.
The Vice President, who has Indian roots, was born in Oakland, California, and attended a historically black university, Howard University, in Washington. Her mother was Indian and her father Jamaican; both immigrated to the United States.
During a Michigan rally on Sunday, Harris vowed to end the ongoing war in Gaza, bring home hostages, and ensure Israel's security and the Palestinian people's right to dignity and self-determination.
"I want to say that this year has been difficult, given the scale of death and destruction in Gaza and the civilian casualties and displacement in Lebanon. As President, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza, to bring home the hostages and the suffering in Gaza, ensure Israel is secure and ensure the Palestinian people can realise their right to dignity, freedom, security and self-determination," she said at the rally.
Earlier, Harris targeted Trump's economic record, specifically his handling of manufacturing jobs.
She claimed that nearly 2,00,000 manufacturing jobs were lost during Trump's presidency before the Covid-19 pandemic, with thousands of those losses felt in Wisconsin alone. She also labelled "Trump one of the biggest losers of manufacturing jobs in American history." (ANI)
