Kamala Harris revealed her daily exercise schedule to keep grounded and beat the stress of being on the campaign trail.
Speaking at an event in Royal Oak, Michigan, Harris was asked how she copes with the pressures of running for office as election day approaches. Moderator Maria Shriver, jokingly asked if Harris ate “gummies” – to which Kamala laughed and said she was “not eating gummies”, bit exercising every day.
Harris told Shriver how she regularly wakes up int he middle of the night, but still ensures she works out “every morning” – adding: “I try to eat well, you know. I love my family, and I make sure that I talk to the kids and my husband every day.”

Harris teamed up with Liz Cheney in Michigan on Monday to make a bipartisan appeal to Republican voters uneasy about Donald Trump, describing the former president as a malignant force that needs to be excised from American politics.
Cheney, a former congresswoman from Wyoming, reminded people that you can vote your conscience and not ever have to say a word to anybody. There will be millions of Republicans who do that on Nov. 5, she predicted.
Cheney made the comments in Royal Oak, Michigan, outside of Detroit, during her second of three events with Harris. Their campaign swing began near Philadelphia and was scheduled to end near Milwaukee, reflecting an intense focus on moderate, suburban voters in battleground states.
During the first event, in Malvern, Pennsylvania, Harris said that Trump has been using the power of the presidency to demean and to divide us and people are exhausted with that.
People around the world are watching, Harris said. And sometimes I do fret a bit about whether we as Americans truly understand how important we are to the world.
Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, was essentially exiled from the Republican Party for participating in a congressional investigation of Trumps involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. She lost her congressional seat in a primary battle two years ago.
Although she disagrees with Harris on some issues, Cheney said her conservative philosophy means prioritizing the Constitution over her political party. She also said shes concerned about allowing a totally erratic, completely unstable Trump to run foreign policy.
Our adversaries know that they can play Donald Trump, she said. And we cannot afford to take that risk.
Trump lashed out at Cheney on social media on Monday, calling her dumb as a rock and accusing her of being a war hawk. The Republican nominee has frequently tried to paint Harris, who is from deep blue California, as a radical liberal, but she struck a moderate tone during her appearance with Cheney.
Harris promised to invite good ideas from wherever they come and cut red tape, and she said there should be a healthy two party system in the country.
We need to be able to have these good intense debates about issues that are grounded in fact, Harris said. Imagine! Cheney responded. Lets start there! Harris said as the audience clapped. Can you believe thats an applause line?
Although Cheney has long described herself as pro-life, she suggested that Republican women should vote for Harris on the issue of reproductive health because restrictions on abortion have gone too far since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Cheney said women arent getting the medical care that they need and were seeing people come together to say . . . thats not sustainable for us as a country, and it has to change.
Whenever abortion rights have been on the ballot in states, they have succeeded, including in red states. But its not clear whether the issue will propel Republican women to the polls in this years presidential election. Harris said she believes that defending abortion rights can appeal to people on both sides of the aisle.
The American people vote for freedom, regardless of the party with which theyre registered to vote, she told reporters after arriving in Michigan. Harris also warned that our daughters are going to have fewer rights than their grandmothers.
