Harris pitches herself as a 'pragmatic capitalist' to Latino voters
Less than two weeks from Election Day, Harris sat down with Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro for an interview that touched on how her economic plan will affect Latino voters, immigration, how she would politically label herself and which team she’s rooting for in the World Series.
Harris pitched herself as a "pragmatic capitalist."
"I believe that we need a new generation of leadership in America that actively works with the private sector to build up the new industries of America, to build up small business owners, to allow us to increase home ownership, to allow people and their families to build intergenerational wealth. I believe in supporting workers," she said.
Harris emphasized how important the Latino vote is in the election while, despite recent polling and disagreed with the idea that Trump was making gains with Latino voters.
"I talk with Latino voters every day, all the time, and there is an incredible amount of support there, because Latino voters understand that they want a president of the United States who treats all people with dignity, with respect, and invests in their dreams for themselves and their family," she said.
Harris reiterated to Telemundo her belief that the U.S. needs an immigration policy that includes a pathway to citizenship
"We need smart, humane immigration policy in America that includes a pathway to citizenship, putting more resources at the border in terms of security, honoring America's history as a country of immigrants, not vilifying people who are fleeing harm, but instead, creating an orderly system for them to actually be able to make their case. That's where I stand. I stand on the principle that we should not be talking about immigrants as ‘poisoning the blood of America,'" she said referring to Trump's rhetoric.
On a lighter note, when asked who she supports in this year's World Series, Harris backed her husband's team, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"I'm there with him," she said. "He was very excited about this."
