Democrat Kamala Harris has made her closing pitch for the US presidency at a historically Black church and to Arab Americans in battleground Michigan, Reuters reports.

“We must act. It’s not enough to only pray; not enough to just talk. We must act on the plans He has in store for us,” Harris told parishioners at Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ in Detroit.

In a rally in East Lansing, Michigan, she addressed the state’s 200,000 Arab Americans, starting her speech with a nod to civilian victims of Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

“This year has been difficult, given the scale of death and destruction in Gaza and given the civilian casualties and displacement in Lebanon, it is devastating. And as president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza,” Harris said to applause.
