Harris stops at a Detroit-area barber shop and restaurant in campaign swing
Harris stopped at a barber shop and a restaurant in Detroit on Sunday before heading to a rally in Lansing, Michigan.
She first went to Kuzzo’s Chicken and Waffles in Detroit’s Livernois district, a local restaurant owned by former Detroit Lions player Ron Bartell. Harris spoke to patrons and took selfies during the stop in which she was joined by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan.
Harris then went to Elam’s Barber & Beauty Shop, a Black-owned business in Pontiac, where she took part in a moderated conversation with local leaders and Black men from Pontiac and Detroit.
During the event, Harris asked the group, “How you guys doing? How’s your family?” Members of the group replied, “We’re alright now.”

Vance pulls out $5,000 cash to make a point on inflation
During a campaign event on Sunday, Trump running mate Sen. JD Vance pulled out $5,000 in cash to demonstrate what he claims is how much more expensive things have gotten for the average American under the Biden-Harris administration.
“I brought this just to illustrate how much Kamala Harris's inflation has cost us," Vance said at a campaign event in Sanford, North Carolina, as he displayed the wad of cash. "This is $5,000 right here. This is five months of Kamala Harris' inflation; every North Carolina family is paying this in additional grocery prices and additional rent prices and additional offices."
Holding up the money, Vance told the crowd, "Ask yourselves, how much bigger is this stack going to be with 48 months of Kamala Harris' leadership? The answer is it's going to be way too high."
Vance then went on to say that Trump would rather give the $5,000 to the American people as a tax cut.

’I’m leaving it all on the field,’ hoarse Walz tells supporters
Harris’ running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz kicked off a campaign swing through Georgia on Sunday with events in Fulton and Gwinnett counties in the Atlanta area.
At a discussion with HBCU students from the Atlanta University Center Consortium -- Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College, Morehouse College and the Morehouse School of Medicine -- Walz asked the students how they were feeling about the election. The one male student of the group of six told the governor he was “scared.”
“Scary, right?” Walz responded, offering some advice to deal with the pre-election nerves: “Nauseously optimistic. It is OK. Before any big thing in life, you always feel anxiety. You always feel nervous. But the biggest thing I've been telling everybody to get over that is going to action,” he said.
Walz then kicked off a canvass launch with Rep. Lucy McBath, D-Ga., in Gwinnett County, sounding hoarse at the beginning of his remarks after days of nonstop campaign travel.
“I'm leaving it all on the field so I have lost my voice, but it has come back for these last 48 hours,” Walz said.
He told the crowd a little of what he’s been doing the past couple days on the road in the West.
“The turf is cut. We're ready to go,” he said. “I was knocking doors in Henderson, Nevada, yesterday, they're doing great. We were in Flagstaff to massive crowds. We ended up in Tucson. People are showing up across the country because they believe in a new way forward.”
Walz also emphasized that the race in 2020 was won through Georgia.
“This will be won through states like Georgia. They're going to be won through canvases just like this, on margins where one or two votes per precinct are going to make a difference. Georgia, you stood up last time and stood for America,” he said.
Walz is to speak later Sunday at a rally in Cobb County with second gentleman Doug Emhoff, Harris’ sister Maya, and musicians Jon Bon Jovi, The War and Treaty, and Michael Stipe.
Then he’ll head to Charlotte later Sunday for campaign events there.
