RALEIGH, N.C. Vice President Kamala Harris kicked off a final sprint of campaigning in swing states ahead of next weeks election by urging North Carolina supporters on Wednesday to take advantage of the final days of early voting.

Early voting, as Jennifer said, has started here in Wake County, she said, referring to Jennifer Bell, the former Trump voter who is now backing her and who introduced her at the event. You can vote early now through Saturday, Nov. 2, and we need you to vote early, North Carolina.

Harris spoke to a boisterous crowd of about 8,000 gathered at an open-air amphitheater a few miles outside downtown Raleigh. She ran through a slimmer version of the closing message she introduced Tuesday night in Washington, D.C., centered on the idea that while her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump , would spend his time nurturing his many grievances, she would spend her time working for voters.

There are many big differences between he and I, but I would say a major contrast is this, she said. If he is elected, Donald Trump will walk into that office with an enemies list. When I am elected, I will walk in with a to-do list full of priorities about what I will get done for you.

Harris has mainly been campaigning in a single state each day, but on Wednesday she began a new tempo, with scheduled stops in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Madison, Wisconsin, later in the day. Campaigns traditionally hold rallies in key states not just to motivate the thousands of supporters who show up but to reach millions of voters who learn of the visit from local news reports.
