She also moved around the stage during her speech with a hand-held mic, not using a teleprompter. <\/p>\n<p>More than 1 million <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/michigan\">Michigan<\/a><\/span> residents have already voted by mail in the Nov. 5 election, and Harris predicted that Detroit turnout for early voting would be strong. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho is the capital of producing records?\u201d Harris asked when imploring the crowd to set new highs for early voting tallies. \u201cWe are going to break some records here in Detroit today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She slammed Trump as unstable: \u201cSomebody just needs to watch his rallies, if you\u2019re not really sure how to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to get these 17 days back.
