United States Vice President Kamala Harris has enlisted the support of prominent musicians Lizzo and Usher in her campaign efforts in key swing states ahead of the presidential election in November. Lizzo, a Detroit native, endorsed Harris at a rally in Michigan, while Usher joined her in Georgia. Harris emphasized the importance of early voting, highlighting record turnout in several states.
During her campaign stops, Harris also addressed the ongoing conflict in Gaza, urging for a ceasefire. She faced criticism from Arab and Muslim Americans in Michigan over US support for Israel’s military campaign. Harris acknowledged the complexity of Middle East policy but emphasized the need to work towards peace.
Harris and other speakers at the rallies pushed back against Republican criticisms of Detroit, with Trump calling it “a mess”. Lizzo and Harris both defended the city’s resilience and pride. Celebrity endorsements, including from Taylor Swift, Oprah, and George Clooney, have supported Harris, although the impact of celebrity endorsements on voter behavior remains uncertain.
As the election nears, former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are also hitting the campaign trail for Harris. With polls showing a tight race between Harris and Trump, both candidates are working to gain an edge in the final weeks before the election. Harris continues to rally support from a diverse range of voters and celebrities as she seeks to secure the presidency.
