Kamala Harris recently held a vibrant rally hosted by Oprah Winfrey, with a lineup of celebrities showing their support remotely. Stars like Jennifer Lopez, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, and Chris Rock joined in via video to cheer on the vice president during the “Unite for America” event.
Oprah, seated on stage, kicked things off by noting a newfound sense of confidence in Harris since she became the nominee, replacing President Joe Biden. Harris, responding to the comment, reflected on how life often presents moments where stepping up is necessary.
Held in Michigan, a key swing state, Harris urged voters to stand together against forces trying to divide the country. She highlighted crucial issues such as abortion rights, the economy, immigration, and gun control, all while hearing personal stories from audience members.
During the event, Harris also addressed gun ownership, sharing a light-hearted moment about her own experience while advocating for stricter gun laws, particularly against assault weapons.
The rally’s lively tone was in contrast to the more somber and critical remarks made by Donald Trump at an event in Washington. Trump criticized Harris, especially her stance on Israel, and repeated grievances about Jewish Americans not backing his campaign.
With the election just weeks away, Harris continues to seek every vote in battleground states, where the stakes remain high for both her and Trump. Despite some union hesitations, Harris’s campaign remains hopeful with continued endorsements from local chapters. Meanwhile, the Gaza conflict is likely to be a significant issue, particularly in states with large Arab-American populations.
