Election 2024 updates: Beshear says Vance 'ain't from Appalachia' at Harris event

Vice President Kamala Harris popped into the Voters of Tomorrow summit, a Gen Z-led organization that engages young Americans in politics and government, Saturday to deliver the closing remarks.

"In this election, we know young voters will be key and we know your vote cannot be taken for granted. It must be earned. And that is exactly what we will do," Harris said after touting what the Biden-Harris administration has done concerning issues young voters care about the most.

"Your generation is leading on the most important issues of our time," she added. "We have made so much progress, historic progress on everything from gun violence prevention, to taking on the climate crisis. And this November, we will win again."

Harris went on to slam former President Donald Trump for his "extreme and divisive agenda."

"It's called Project 2025. And it includes plans to ban abortion nationwide, even without an act of Congress to undermine LGBTQ rights to roll back our efforts to fight climate change."

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff campaigned at the 7th annual Hmong Wausau Festival in Wausa, Wisconsin, on Saturday with Gov. Tony Evers and Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

Emhoff addressed Sen. JD Vance’s "cat lady" comments that he's been getting considerable criticism over, and called former President Donald Trump remarks “weird.”

"Over the last decade, she's not just been an amazing partner to me, but a loving parent to two kids named Paul and Ella," Emhoff said about his wife. "From day one, she's been present, nurturing and fiercely protected with them."

Vance responded to the criticism of his comments Friday during the "Megyn Kelly Show" podcast and claimed the comments made in a 2021 Fox News interview were taken out of context.

"This is about criticizing the Democratic Party for becoming anti-family and anti-child," Vance said.
