Star-Studded Showdown: Harris and Obama Hit Georgia with Celeb Power
Kamala Harris

Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris made a campaign stop in Georgia, hosting a rally alongside rock icon Bruce Springsteen, entertainer Tyler Perry, and former President Barack Obama. The event signifies Harris's strategy to leverage star power to excite voters in a tightly contested race against Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Harris and Obama will campaign together for the first time, with Harris also joining Michelle Obama in Michigan later. Celebrity endorsements often bring cultural prestige, crowd enthusiasm, and social media buzz — assets both Harris and Trump aim to exploit as they motivate voters for the November 5 election.

According to recent polls, Trump leads narrowly in Georgia, but the Harris campaign remains optimistic about its chances there and in neighboring North Carolina. With early voting underway, nearly 1.9 million ballots have been cast in Georgia. Additional celebrity events are planned, with performers supporting both sides as the election draws near.
