U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris received praise on Saturday for what some Democrats and Republicans alike deemed a "pitch perfect response" to Donald Trump's "calls to end democracy last night."
Trump on Friday said at a conservative Christian Turning Point event, “You won’t have to do it anymore... it’ll be fixed; it’ll be fine; you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.”
Harris' campaign responded on Saturday.

"When Vice President Harris says this election is about freedom she means it," the campaign said. "Our democracy is under assault by criminal Donald Trump: After the last election Trump lost, he sent a mob to overturn the results."
The statement continued:
"This campaign, he has promised violence if he loses, the end of our elections if he wins, and the termination of the Constitution to empower him to be a dictator to enact his dangerous Project 2025 agenda on America. Donald Trump wants to take America backward, to a politics of hate, chaos, and fear - this November America will unite around Vice President Kamala Harris to stop him."
The statement received praise on social media, with anti-Trump Republicans at The Lincoln Project calling it a "pitch perfect response from [Harris' presidential campaign] on Trump's calls to end democracy last night."
