Harris, Walz roll out celebrities on last day of campaigning
Vice President Harris is getting a final, star-studded boost from a parade of celebrities on Election Day eve — with Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, James Taylor and Ricky Martin among the performers appearing at campaign events in swing states across the country.
Harris is poised to crisscross Pennsylvania on Monday, joined by several high-profile entertainers at some of the stops.
"Dark Horse" singer Perry, Andra Day and DJ D-Nice are expected to perform at a Monday evening "When We Vote We Win" concert in Pittsburgh.
Harris will then head to the City of Brotherly Love for a rally on the steps outside the Philadelphia Museum of the Arts made famous in the film "Rocky," featuring Winfrey, Lady Gaga, DJ Cassidy, rapper Fat Joe, "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer Martin, The Roots, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Freeway and Just Blaze, Adam Blackstone and Jazmine Sullivan.
While Harris is in Pennsylvania, her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), is poised to attend a pair of campaign events in Milwaukee and Detroit. Jon Bon Jovi, The War and Treaty and the Detroit Youth Choir will perform at the Michigan rally, while Eric Benét is being tapped for the Milwaukee event on Monday.
In Raleigh, N.C., on Monday night, Fantasia Barrino, Remi Wolf, Sugarland and "Fire and Rain" songwriter Taylor will headline another event for the Harris campaign dubbed the "Vote for Freedom" rally.
2 Chainz, Keyshia Cole, and Tamar Braxton are among the big names serving as special guests at another Harris rally in Atlanta on Monday, while La Original Banda El Limón will perform at a Phoenix get-out-the-vote effort.
Many of the starry, simultaneous campaign events will be featured as part of a national livestream show Monday night airing from the seven battleground states, a senior Harris campaign official said Saturday.
Harris's camp has turned to some superstar endorsements in the final weeks of the White House race, with Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen and Jennifer Lopez all appearing at recent campaign events for the vice president. The vice president's campaign has said that by "using their voices to lay out the states of this election," the public figures will "further encourage and mobilize people to go vote."
