Drivers lined up at the Florida International Campus for the drive-in event to see the vice-president hopeful. From FIU, Harris headed to Miami Gardens, where she spoke alongside State Representative Frederica Wilson and other South Florida public servants at Buccaneer Park.
From there, it was north to Broward County, where Harris was joined by Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis and statehouse representatives at Snyder Park in Fort Lauderdale and then later, she hosted a drive-in "Get Out the Vote" rally on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth Beach.
At each event, Harris pushed for Florida residents, especially Blacks and Latinos, to go out and vote on Election Day. Early voting in Florida ended on Sunday.
