During the discussion, Justin Pearson highlighted how Kamala Harris is exactly the leader America needs right now, as reported by MSNBC.

The 29-year-old revealed that young Americans "are fired up" about Harris after she replaced President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket.

"Young people are gonna decide this election and Vice President Harris is investing in young people, young elective leaders, and young folks across college campuses, technical schools, all across the country to make sure that our voices are heard and also that our issues are being paid attention to in a way that has not typically happened in a national election," asserted the Tennessee lawmaker.

Soon after that Mitchell reportedly remarked, "And Michelle Obama is such an unusual speaker," before she played a short clip of the former first lady’s address from the second night of the DNC.

At the DNC, Michelle Obama said, "Kamala has shown her allegiance to this nation, not by spewing anger and bitterness, but by living a life of service and always pushing the doors of opportunity open for others," as per MSNBC. 

"She understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth," asserted the former first lady. 

"If we bankrupt a business or choke in a crisis, we don’t get a second, third, or fourth chance. If we see a mountain in front of us, we don’t expect there to be an escalator waiting to take us to the top. No, we put our heads down. We get to work. In America, we do something. And throughout her entire life, that’s exactly what we’ve seen from Kamala Harris," added Obama.
