US Vice President Kamala Harris and television icon Oprah Winfrey joined the stage on Thursday at an event dubbed “Unite for America” to rally support for Harris’s presidential campaign. In the November election, Harris is the Democratic Party’s nominee for president.
The television star has shown support for Harris during this election before. At the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last month, she gave an unexpected speech.
Since becoming her party’s front-runner for the presidency, and particularly after gaining that nomination, Harris has garnered the support of hundreds of well-known Americans, including Republicans who refuse to vote for their party’s nominee, former President Donald Trump, as well as celebrities and music icons.
But not many American celebrities have the same aura as Oprah. Here is more information regarding her past election endorsements and the impact they have had.
Oprah’s “United for America”: what was it? The event was a discussion show that lasted longer than an hour, hosted by Oprah with a copper jacket and spectacles.
Michigan, a crucial battleground state in this election, hosted the event. More than a million people have watched it as of Friday morning in the US, when it was livestreamed on the Harris campaign’s YouTube site.
A studio crowd erupted in loud applause as Harris entered the stage. The two ladies talked about a variety of subjects, such as reproductive health and Harris’s proposals to cut taxes and housing costs. Prominent figures in the entertainment world, such as Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, and Jennifer Lopez, gathered by video-link.
