Vice President Kamala Harris humorously denied using marijuana-infused gummies to cope with election stress during a town hall in Michigan, despite advocating for national legalization of marijuana. When asked by moderator Maria Shriver about stress-relief methods, Harris laughed and clarified she does not consume gummies, though she admitted to feeling campaign pressure by waking up in the middle of the night. Harris emphasized the importance of voter participation in democracy, urging citizens not to feel powerless. She highlighted her personal coping strategies, which include morning exercise and family support. At the event, Republican Liz Cheney, a supporter of Harris, expressed confidence in her ability to lead and serve as a role model. This appearance is part of Harris's efforts to connect with voters as her campaign began only recently following President Biden's decision not to seek re-election.
