AIKEN, SC (WRDW/WAGT) -- As election season ramps up for 2020, Kamala Harris became the latest candidate to campaign in the CSRA with a town hall event Saturday.

South Carolina and Georgia have both voted Republican in the last six presidential elections, but some community members would like to see that change.

"There's definitely a shift going on right now," said Tony Price from South Carolina. Price said he came out to the event because his sister-in-law is Senator Harris' campaign manager.

Kamala Harris is addressed the community for about 20 minutes before opening up the floor to questions.

"We place the power in the people," she said to a packed gym at Aiken County High School.

4. quoting from the article

"Senator Harris answered just four questions on Saturday, but people like Joanne Puleo believed she had all the right answers.

"Right now, we need strong, capable, experienced, smart people," she said. "Kamala is all of that and more.

Senator Harris took time to address what she called the donkey, not the elephant, in the room..

"It's this conversation about well, you know I don't know if America is ready for a woman," she said. That was met by groans and laughter from her supporters, who think we're more than ready."
