Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a rally near Atlanta featuring remarks by former President Barack Obama and a performance by Bruce Springsteen. This marks the first time Harris and Obama have shared the stage this election cycle. Harris thanked Obama for his support and friendship, highlighting his ability to unite people. The presence of Obama alongside Harris is seen as a way to boost voter enthusiasm as Obama remains popular and has won two presidential elections with over 50% of the vote.
Obama has also joined Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, at a campaign event in Wisconsin. In addition to rallies, he is set to do interviews targeting Black audiences. Former first lady Michelle Obama is expected to campaign with Harris in Michigan as well. Harris has also garnered support from celebrities like Springsteen, Spike Lee, and Samuel L. Jackson. She is scheduled to host Beyoncé at an event in Houston.
The rally in Atlanta is part of Harris’ closing pitch to voters in the final days before Election Day. Obama and other influential figures are helping to generate excitement and support for Harris as she makes her case to voters. The star-studded lineup underscores the importance of mobilizing supporters and rallying behind the Democratic ticket.
