Vice President Kamala Harris attended a fundraiser in San Francisco Sunday where she maintained her campaign "will win this election," but cautioned donors to "not take anything for granted."

"I know there's a lot of enthusiasm out there," Harris said, adding, "And you know, I've never been one to really believe in the polls -- whether they're up or they're down."

"What we know is the stakes are so high and we can take nothing for granted in this critical moment," she continued. "So we will fuel our campaign as we have, with enthusiasm and optimism, but also with a deep commitment to the hard work it’s going to take, and to campaign."

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi introduced Harris at the event, touting the accomplishments of the Biden-Harris administration and the background of vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, several times calling the Harris-Walz ticket "the freedom ticket."

"[Harris] makes us all so proud. She brings us so much joy. She gives us so much hope," Pelosi said, calling the vice president "politically very astute."

In his first sit-down interview since stepping down from the 2024 race, President Joe Biden explained his historic decision.

"Look, polls we had showed that it was a neck-and-neck race, would have been down to the wire. But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in their races," Biden said earlier this week in an interview with CBS News that aired on Sunday.

He also pointed to the fact that he always saw himself as a transitional figure, and he said that beating Donald Trump was "the most important thing" for him.

"Number two, when I ran the first time, I thought of myself as being a transition president. I can't even say how old I am, it's hard for me to get out of my mouth. And, but things got moving so quickly, it didn't happen. And the combination was that I thought it was a critical issue for me still, it's not a joke, maintaining this democracy. But I thought it was important because although it's a great honor being president, I think I have an obligation to the country to do the most important thing, and that is we must, we must, we must defeat Trump," Biden said.

"It's a danger -- he is genuine danger to American security,” Biden said. “Look, we're at an inflection point in world history of the decisions we make in the last three, four years, the next three, four years determine what the next six decades look like, and democracy is the key."

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to reporters Saturday evening before boarding a flight from Phoenix to Las Vegas for a campaign event and discussed the latest incidents in the Israel-Gaza conflict.

She was asked about the Israeli Defense Forces strike on Al-Tabeen School in Gaza City, and said there are "far too many civilians who have been killed."

"Israel has a right to go after the terrorists that are Hamas. But as I have said many, many times, they also have, I believe, an important responsibility to avoid civilian casualties," Harris said.

When asked about the possibility the administration might set arms limitations on Israel, the vice president said it was important to have that a hostage deal and a cease-fire.

"And I can't stress that strongly enough, it needs to get done. The deal needs to get done, and it needs to get done now," she said.

Former President Donald Trump's campaign is claiming it was hacked by "foreign sources" with the intent to interfere in the upcoming election.

The Trump campaign statement cited a report published by Microsoft on Friday, which said, "In June 2024, Mint Sandstorm—a group run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intelligence unit—sent a spear-phishing email to a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign from a compromised email account of a former senior advisor. The phishing email contained a fake forward with a hyperlink that directs traffic through an actor-controlled domain before redirecting to the listed domain."

Microsoft does not identify the presidential campaign in its report. Microsoft has also not responded to ABC's request for more information.

Outside of the Trump campaign statement, ABC News has not confirmed the campaign was hacked by foreign sources with the intent to interfere in the election.

Harris and Walz will attend a campaign event with United Auto Workers members in Wayne, Michigan, which represents Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant Thursday afternoon, the campaign said.

Upon arrival, they will be greeted by President Shawn Fain and UAW board members, according to the campaign, before they deliver brief remarks.

The union endorsed Harris for president on July 31 after it had previously endorsed Biden.

This stop is their only campaign stop before heading to Phoenix, Arizona, for a rally on Friday.
