Kamala Harris is continuing her campaign efforts with a rally alongside former first lady Michelle Obama in Michigan. This event is part of a series of high-profile appearances aimed at energizing Democratic supporters and increasing voter turnout.
Recently, Harris has shared the stage with notable figures such as Beyoncé in Houston and former President Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen in Atlanta. This star-studded lineup exceeds the celebrity support garnered by Republican nominee Donald Trump this election cycle.
Despite the impressive lineup, there is no guarantee that these high-profile endorsements will secure victory for Harris in the closely contested race for the White House. In the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton faced a similar situation, rallying crowds with musical performances and Democratic allies but ultimately losing to Trump.
Trump has downplayed Harris' celebrity endorsements, dismissing her recent appearances with Beyoncé as a 'dance party.' He is set to hold rallies in Novi, Michigan, and State College, Pennsylvania, in the coming days.
Michelle Obama will be joining Harris in Kalamazoo, Michigan, marking her first campaign appearance in support of the vice-presidential candidate. This event coincides with the start of early in-person voting in Michigan, with over 1.4 million ballots already cast, representing 20% of registered voters.
Michelle Obama, known for her iconic slogan 'when they go low, we go high,' has taken a more direct approach in criticizing Trump during this election cycle. At the Democratic National Convention, she condemned Trump for promoting 'ugly, misogynistic, racist lies' instead of offering real solutions for the American people.
Prior to the rally with Obama, Harris is scheduled to visit a doctor's office in Portage to discuss reproductive rights with healthcare providers and medical students. Meanwhile, Democratic President Joe Biden will be in Pittsburgh for a campaign event with the Laborers’ International Union of North America.
