VP Kamala Harris warns of threats to America: "The ideals that we thought long established ... now hang in the balance," during her visit to the National Baptist Convention, the nation's largest African-American religious convention since 1886, in Houston Texas. She calls on the strength of the nation’s faith leaders to lead the country through the political partisanship and uncertainty that the American nation has faced over the past years.
“Today we live in unsettled times. The ideals we thought were long established such as overseas the sovereignty of democratic nations. Here in our own country, the powerful transfer of power in a way that is peaceful, the freedom of voters, voters, to decide elections. The freedom of women to make decisions about their own future. Even what constitutes the truth. These ideals now, hang in the balance. And in this moment then, we count on the strength and the conviction of our faith leaders to help lead us forward.”
