Democratic vice presidential Kamala Harris is certain both candidates will respect the results of the presidential election.
After landing in Detroit, Harris reminded residents of Michigan polls do not close until 8 p.m. EST.
“The path to the White House and the path to determining who will be the next president of the United States, without question, runs through Michigan,” Harris said.
She added, “So I’m just here to remind people in Detroit that, that they are seen and heard by Joe and me, and also that they may actually decide the outcome of this race.”
A reporter asked Harris what her message is to Americans who are concerned about potential unrest following the results of the election.
“Have faith in the American people. I do strongly believe that we, whoever we vote for, will defend the integrity of our democracy and a peaceful transfer of power and that there are certain lines that whoever you vote for, that we just won’t cross,” Harris said.

The reporter pressed Harris on how she is feeling about their chances of winning the election.
“Listen, the day ain’t over. Ask me after the polls close. Maybe I’ll have a better idea, but right now I’m just here to remind people to vote because the election is still happening right now, it’s not over,” Harris said.
Trump told “Fox & Friends” Tuesday morning by phone, “There’s no reason to play games” by declaring an early victory, as IJR previously reported.
He added he believes there is a “solid chance” of winning reelection.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden responded to a report published by Axios that suggests Trump plans to declare victory early, as IJR previously reported.
“My response is the president is not going to steal this election,” Biden told reporters on Sunday.
Trump explained on Tuesday he is “not thinking about concession speech or acceptance speech yet.”
