SOMERSWORTH -- When Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris stepped on the stage Sunday for a town hall meeting, the first thing she said was, “I fully intend to win this election.”

Her audience roared their approval.

Harris spoke at Somersworth High School to a packed crowd, filling the cafeteria with so many people unable to find space that an overflow location with a projector was set up in the gymnasium.

“I think we all know we are at a pivotal moment in time, where we are each, as individuals and collectively, being asked, ‘Who are we?’” said Harris. “Part of the answer is that we are better than this. This has become the moment we must fight for the best we are. It’s not a new thing for us to fight for our ideals, not new to fight for our love of country and the for the soul of this country.”
