Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter Ella Emhoff has warned followers on social media to not ‘let the worry take over’ ahead of the looming election.
The 25-year-old daughter of Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff made the remark in an Instagram story Saturday, where she also urged onlookers to get out and vote.
The strongly-worded suggestion was delivered on the first day of early voting, which allows Americans to cast a ballot until November 3. Election Day is on November 5.
It also came as Donald Trump continues to make headway in swing states, with polls in recent weeks showing how he and Harris are currently neck-and-neck.
Just last week, a series of surveys showed how the race for the White House was turning in favor of the former president, seemingly spurring the potential first daughter to air her now widely seen remarks.

‘NY Early voting starts today,’ the outspoken progressive, who is also an artist and model, wrote Saturday alongside a photo of her pet dog Jerry.
‘This is not the time to sit back,’ she continued.
‘Don’t let the worry take over. Turn it into action.’
The warning went on to urge internet users to ‘check in with you community’ as the week of early voting sets in, and to ‘make sure they have a voting plan.
‘I can’t stress this enough,’ Emhoff eventually concluded.
‘Vote Vote Vote,’ she wrote as a sign-off.
The emphatic call to arms came two months after Ella took the stage at the Democratic National Convention ahead of her stepmom, who she has dubbed ‘Momala’ in her bid to get support.
She was all smiles as she was joined on stage by the vice president’s niece Meena Harris and goddaughter Helena Hudlin, and has been spotted out in New York in the weeks since.

The girls went on to bill the 59-year-old vice president who they know on a personal level an ‘extraordinary woman’, a month after she surfaced as Joe Biden’s successor after he sensationally dropped out.
In the weeks since, the state of the race has changed considerably, with more than 29 million people having already cast ballots either in-person early or by mail.
On Thursday, a new Wall Street Journal poll showed him with a three point edge nationally over the vice president – with Trump at 47 percent and Harris at 45 among registered voters.
The numbers served as an about face from polling administered by the paper the same month as the DNC, while a CNBC All-America Economic Survey also had Trump leading Harris by two percent.
That same poll found that in the seven battleground states likely to decide the election, Trump had a 48 percent lead to Harris’ 47 percent, while also discovering that 42 percent of voters believe they would be better off financially if Trump wins.
Compare that to the 24 percent who said the same if Harris wins, and it’s clear where onlookers are leaning when it comes to future finances.
Another 29 percent, meanwhile, said their financial situation will not change no matter who wins the White House, as a plethora of other polls also showed the changing state of play.
The final monthly poll from the Financial Times and University of Michigan Ross School of Business recently found the ex-president leads 44 percent to 43 percent among registered voters on the economy, and two new polls out of the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania also show Trump taking a lead in the final sprint.
The Franklin and Marshall College poll in Pennsylvania shows Trump ahead of Harris by 50 percent to 49 percent among likely voters, but among all registered voters, the vice president still has an edge 48 percent to 44 percent.
That poll shows Trump with a six point lead when it comes to handling of the economy and the military. But Harris has an advantage when it comes to understanding the concerns of ordinary Americans and is considered more trustworthy.
A separate Emerson College poll also out of the Keystone State shows Trump with a one point lead among voters, signaling just how tight the race truly is in Pennsylvania.

The poll has the ex-president at 49 percent and the vice president at 48 percent. Another three percent of voters had another choice or were undecided.
‘There is a significant age divide among voters: voters under 50 favor Harris, 57 percent to 39 percent, while voters over 50 break for Trump, 57 percent to 41 percent,’ said executive director Spencer Kimball.
Meanwhile, a new Marist poll shows the Republican presidential nominee picking up steam in the Sunbelt battleground states among likely voters.
Trump has a two point lead in North Carolina, a one point lead in Arizona and is tied with Harris in Georgia.
He’s set to appear at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan on Sunday, as the election remains just eight days away.
