Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorshipBeing a Black, male Democrat in the South is not easy.
It's constantly proving yourself.
Everybody wants you to be everything for them.
And that's the catch-22 that we're in right now in this race.
I'm nervous.
I'm anxious.
Um, I'm very emotional.
Um...
This is some, some heavy stuff.
It's really, really heavy.
And it's even more than just an election.
It's not just about the election.
It's just about life.
MAXWELL: Well, there's the bus.
HARRISON: Hello, hello, hello.
Happy Election Day, everybody.
REPORTER: What would be your first order of business if voters in South Carolina were to send you to the Hill today?
HARRISON: Well, you know, if I had to go to the Hill today, it's to get a COVID relief bill.
And right now, there is nobody that, that knows South Carolina better than I do.
There's nobody that understands the hardships of growing up here, being poor, being poor and Black, being poor and Black and a male.
I know how hard it is.
But it's also, at the same time, I know the flip side of this.
I know what hope is.
