Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris returned to California on Tuesday as wildfires burn across her home state and much of the Western United States.
Harris, D-Calif., made her first trip to California since being nominated as former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate. She and California Gov. Gavin Newsom met with emergency officials as wildfires have burned more than 3.2 million acres in the state.
"Sadly, these wildfires and the devastation they cause are utterly predictable," she said.
Harris joined Newsom and the governors of Oregon and Washington, which have also been hit hard by the wildfires in citing climate change as a major factor in causing the deadly blazes.
She added that climate change "is not a partisan issue" after President Donald Trump questioned the science behind climate change and cited forest management as a primary concern.
"It is incumbent on us, in terms of leadership of our nation, to take seriously the extreme changes in our climate and to do what we can to mitigate against the damage," she said.
At least 34 people have died in the wildfires as of Tuesday.

She is right. They are predictable. If you leave the forest unattended and not manage it, it will catch fire at some point. The movie ‘Lion King’ described it as ‘the circle of life’. An analogy would be that if I never mowed my lawn, eventually you wouldn’t be able to see my house. I could do that because I want to ‘protect’ the grass, but frankly, I want my home to be well kept.
I would like a party with 2.71828... years remaining.
Socialist mismanagement of forests for 40 years is not hard to predict they would die and burn.
You would think that if Democrats were really worried about global warming they would not burn doown entire forests.
