FLINT, Michigan — Vice President Kamala Harris promised not to ban gas-powered vehicles if elected as president, one day after former President Donald Trump told Michigan voters she would decimate the car industry.
Speaking to rallygoers in Flint, Michigan, Harris denied that she would mandate electric vehicles in a speech squarely focused on job creation in the auto sector.
Harris supported legislation imposing a ban in the Senate but walked back that position after announcing her run for president.
“Contrary to what my opponent is suggesting, I will never tell you what kind of car you have to drive,” she said on Friday.
Harris has not backed away from the Biden administration’s effort to transition the economy to electric vehicles. In fact, she painted Trump as negligent for not investing in their development as president.
“I will make sure America, not China, wins the competition for the 21st century,” she said.
