JANESVILLE - Vice President Kamala Harris rallied supporters at a small private event Friday afternoon, where she promised support to unions and laborers if handed the nation's highest office. Harris spoke to a packed room at the IBEW Local 890, where she thanked workers and said her campaign was "about the dignity of work." With only four days until the presidential election, she said there was still time to "turn the page on a decade of Donald Trump," saying the former president has worked to divide the country. "That's not who we are," she said. "And nobody understands that better than a union member. As Americans, we all rise or fall together." Harris and Trump are locked in a dead heat in Wisconsin, according to a Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday . The candidates have been barnstorming the state. Harris also pledged to not let another Foxconn situation happen in Wisconsin, where promised manufacturing jobs never materialized despite heavy investment from the state. "He said Wisconsin would soon be home to a manufacturing plant that he called, again, in Donald Trump language, the eighth wonder of the world," she said. "It was yet another empty promise, typical for a person that is all talk, no walk."
