Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff spoke to a crowd at Sharon Baptist Church in Wynnefield Heights on Sunday. He encouraged the folks sitting in the pews to vote for his wife, Kamala Harris. He also spoke about her resilience, stepping into the role over the past couple months
"She knew what to do. We needed somebody to step up, nobody had to explain it to her, she just knew, and then she knew she had to become the best version of an already incredible woman and that's what she's been for this whole fifteen weeks," Emhoff said.
Meanwhile, Harris spent Sunday campaigning in Michigan. One of her stops also included speaking to the faithful at a church in Detroit.
"As a nation, we face real challenges. We face real challenges. We carry real burdens. We feel real pain. And we must remember that faith combined with our actions gives up power. The power to move past division and fear and chaos," said Harris.

Harris focused on key issues she wants to tackle, and didn't mention former president Donald Trump by name. Staffers say it's part of her strategy to keep things positive in the final stretch.
"Right now each of us has an opportunity to make a difference. In this moment our country is at a crossroads and where we go from here is up to us. As Americans and as people of faith," said Harris.
