Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a rally near Atlanta featuring former President Barack Obama and musician Bruce Springsteen. Harris thanked Obama for his friendship and support, noting their shared history since Obama’s first campaign. The presence of Obama and Harris together is seen as a way to boost voter enthusiasm, given Obama’s enduring popularity and track record of winning elections with over 50% of the vote. Obama also joined Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, at a campaign event in Wisconsin. In addition to rallies in battleground states, Obama plans to do interviews with podcasters and internet personalities that attract Black audiences. Former first lady Michelle Obama is expected to campaign with Harris in Michigan as well. Springsteen, who endorsed Harris for president, is part of a lineup of celebrities supporting her campaign. The event near Atlanta also featured appearances by director Spike Lee and actor Samuel L. Jackson. Harris is set to host pop star Beyoncé at an event in Houston. The rally was part of Harris’ closing pitch to voters before Election Day, highlighting the support she has from influential figures in entertainment and politics.
