Martin Luther King Jr. would be 'very supportive' of VP Harris, son says
In an interview with ABC News Live on Monday, Martin Luther King III -- the son of Martin Luther King Jr. -- said his father would "be very proud of the message that the vice president is advocating" and "very supportive" of her campaign.
Arndrea Waters King echoed her husband's sentiment, saying it would be "a celebratory day for all of us."
"[Harris] is very clear that she will be a president for all of us," she added. "And so she's continuing to take that message every place that she goes."
The Kings also pushed back on the notion that the Black community, specifically Black men, are supporting Trump over Harris.
"There has always been this excitement around the vice president as the nominee amongst the entire Black community," Arndrea said. "The excitement is there, the numbers are there. And what we are seeing is that the exact opposite is true, that we are seeing Black men actually coming and voting and organizing and literally being on the forefront."
