Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a rally near Atlanta with former President Barack Obama and rock legend Bruce Springsteen. This was the first time Harris and Obama shared the stage during this campaign cycle as Harris seeks to make her final pitch to voters before Election Day. Harris acknowledged her early support for Obama during his presidential bid in 2007 and thanked him for his friendship and faith in her campaign. The presence of Obama, a popular figure who won two presidential elections with over 50% of the vote, is intended to increase voter enthusiasm for Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. In addition to rallies in battleground states, Obama is engaging with podcasters and internet personalities who attract Black audiences to further support Harris. Former first lady Michelle Obama is also expected to campaign with Harris in Michigan. Other celebrities endorsing Harris include Bruce Springsteen, director Spike Lee, actor Samuel L. Jackson, and pop star Beyoncé, who is scheduled to appear at an event with Harris in Houston. Overall, the star-studded rally highlighted the support Harris is garnering from influential figures as she makes her final push for the presidency.
