Vice President Kamala Harris is attempting a high-risk, high-reward strategy by bringing out heavy-hitter surrogates, from former President Barack Obama to Beyonce, in the closing days of her 2024 campaign.
Obama will appear with Harris on Thursday in Atlanta, their first rally together since he began campaigning on her behalf. Obama will continue his battleground state tour Monday in Philadelphia.
Beyonce will then reportedly speak and perform before Harris’s event Friday in the music icon’s hometown of Houston, Texas, a prospect that was teased this summer during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
The rallies are Harris’s latest and possibly last attempt to increase voter enthusiasm as momentum in the race moves somewhat in former President Donald Trump’s direction. In the past, she has enlisted the help of celebrities, from Oprah Winfrey to Bruce Springsteen.
