On Tuesday (October 15), Vice President Kamala Harris joined Charlamagne Tha God in Detroit for an hour-long discussion about some of the most pressing issues facing voters.

During iHeartRadio's "We The People: An Audio Town Hall With Kamala Harris," the Democratic presidential candidate spoke about the importance of standing up for American principles heading into the presidential election on November 5, when she faces off against former President Donald Trump.

"You know, what is at stake is truly profound and historic, many would say," Harris said. "Some people would say this lofty notion of supporting and preserving our democracy. But it is about real issues that affect people every day, like whether we're going to maintain a $35 cap on insulin for our seniors, whether we're going to continue to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices to bring them down. Whether we are going to have, as my opponent would have, a formalized stop-and-frisk policy, for which he has said if a police department does not do it, they should be defunded, or not."

"There is so much at stake, whether America is going to stand on its principles around the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity and stand with our allies around the world. Or whether we're going to admire dictators and send, during the height of COVID and the pandemic, COVID tests that nobody could get to the president of Russia for his personal use when Black people were dying every day, by the hundreds during that time."

Charlamagne interjected, pointing out, "I feel like that one, that one has gone over peoples' heads, the fact that he was sending COVID tests to Putin."

Harris then went on to say, "I mean, you know, I invite your listeners, the number of people we know who lost their grandparents and parents. Remember what that was like during the height of COVID? And a lot of it, people were scrambling for the resources and needed tests. And Donald Trump, during that time, secretly sent COVID tests to the president of Russia, who, by the way, do not forget, in the 2016 election, 'cause I was a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee when we investigated it, targeted Black voters in 2016 with mis- and disinformation to discourage Black people from voting in that election."

"And this is another of the very many examples of who Donald Trump really is and the danger he presents to real people."
