Undecided voters in Pennsylvania said they want to hear more policy specifics from Vice President Kamala Harris during Tuesday's ABC News presidential debate and how her positions differ from President Biden's.
“I'm especially interested in what she'll do for the black community,” said Majesty Moreland, an undecided voter from a battleground state. He told NBC10“Not something specific that she's going to do… [just] It's a blanket statement.”
Moreland said there's been a lot of enthusiasm for Harris because “everyone's against Donald Trump,” but he wants to see what's beyond the “hype.”
“Don't just tout that you're different, show us your policies and what you're actually going to do,” she continued.

Moreland urged Harris to distinguish her role from that of the Biden administration.
“What do you want to do?” she said. “Be the woman we think you are, the black woman.”
When asked if she thought Harris' policies were clearly communicated to voters, she quickly replied, “No.”
The voter confessed that she wasn't sure whether to vote in November because she didn't believe Harris would truly help her community, and she also criticized her promise to help the middle class.
“It doesn't feel good because a lot of people in my community, the black community, are poor,” Moreland said. “So when I hear that, I just let it slide.”
“At this point, I'm just at a loss,” she continued of the looming election. “I think there are better people than Trump, but is she really going to help my community? Is it going to make a difference in my daily life? I don't know. At this point, I feel like this is just a show.”
Harris solidifies support with black voters, Trump's approval rating remains stable: poll
Vice President Kamala Harris will face off against former President Trump in the ABC News presidential debate on Tuesday.
Neil Stohler, a Pennsylvania voter leaning toward Harris, said he would be disappointed if she performed poorly in the upcoming debate but suggested he would consider voting for her or a third-party candidate to help stop former President Trump's reelection.
“It could be a vote against Trump, not a vote for Harris,” he explained.
Irma Fralick, a supporter of Nikki Haley in the Republican primary, declined to say who she would support but said she expected each candidate to “clearly articulate” their foreign policy positions during the debate.
Pam Barnes, a Pennsylvania voter leaning toward Trump, also said she hoped both candidates would stay focused and defend their policies.

“Let's just get the issue out there, let's make it clear, let's make it respectful and let some people make a decision,” Burns said of the debate.
“I'll probably vote Republican,” she said when asked which party she would support, saying concerns about expanding federal power tipped her in that direction.
“I think this is big government, frankly,” she said. “I support the idea of small government.”

Political analysts say Pennsylvania is one of seven battleground states that determined the race between Trump and Biden in the 2020 presidential election and could be key to a victory for either Harris or Trump.
A new analysis from pollster Nate Silver gives Trump a 63.8% chance of winning the Electoral College, and a New York Times/Siena College poll found him leading Harris by one percentage point.
Harris has led in several national and battleground state polls since taking over as the nominee's top candidate, but Silver said the results of a new New York Times/Siena College poll support his election model's view that there has been a “momentum shift” in the race.
The NYT/Siena College poll found Harris “Too liberal or progressive“On major policy issues, Trump is more likely to be approved of than voters who think he is 'too conservative.'”
Harris on Monday published policy pages on her campaign website for the first time since emerging as the Democratic presidential nominee.
