Vice President Kamala Harris dismissed a question about her campaign’s internal number Sunday morning as she addressed reporters nine days before the election from the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

She told the media at a press conference she relies on her “instinct,” which tells her crowds are showing up for her and the wind is at her back.

Harris is statistically tied in the commonwealth with her 2024 rival, former President Donald Trump, while new polling has shown her national lead slip in recent weeks.

As she addressed the media in Philadelphia Sunday morning, the vice president portrayed the race as a binary choice between her desire to get to work versus Trump’s alleged desire to seek a reckoning.

“If it’s Donald Trump, you can see what’s going on. Look, that day is going to be – it will be him sitting at that desk stewing over his enemies list. He is full of grievance. He is full of a dark language that is about retribution and revenge,” she said. “It’s either going to be there or it’ll be me there, focused on my to-do list.”

Jeff Mason with Reuters then asked her, “Madam Vice President, can you give us a sense of your internal polling at the campaign and how that is making or influencing your decisions on what to do over the next nine days?” Harris replied:

So, to be very frank with you, my internal polling is my instinct. I let the campaign people deal with all that other stuff, and I am responding to what I’m seeing. I mean, just two nights ago, we had 30,000 people show up. I think it was actually more than 30,000 people with an incredible amount of enthusiasm. If you see the people showing up last night.

Every event that we do, and the feeling is one of energy and excitement. What I love about the folks who are showing up is it’s every walk of who we are as a country and as Americans. Every race, age, gender, from all different kinds of backgrounds, together under one roof. It’s very exciting. The number of young people, you know, have begun to really point out that first-time voters who are there is now people are actually registered. And it’s it’s very exciting and the momentum is with us.
