Harris Turns 60 Visits Black Church in Georgia to Encourage Voting

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris has appealed to black voters, a key Democratic background, in Georgia, a southern rival state.

Vice President Harris attended a service at a large black church in Toncrest, Georgia, on the 20th local time.

"It teaches you to love your neighbor as you do," Vice President Harris said, telling the story of a "good Samaritan" who saved a person who was robbed and collapsed on the side of the road during the Bible gospel.

He also pointed out that while he did not directly name former President Trump, "at this moment, there are people who are trying to deepen division, spread hatred, promote fear, and cause confusion."

He then urged voters to vote on whether the United States will become a country of confusion, fear, hate, or freedom, compassion, and justice.

Vice President Harris, a Baptist, also introduced himself as a choir member while attending church in Oakland, California, when he was young.

In particular, it was Vice President Harris' 60th birthday, and worshipers sang happy birthday songs.

Harris will then call for early voting at a church in John'sborough, Georgia, and interview civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton.
