Harris Rallies in Atlanta with Obama, Celebrities

With Election Day only 12 days away, Vice President Kamala Harris brought a star-studded guest list of friends to join her on Thursday night at a campaign rally in Atlanta.

“Everybody here knows it’s gonna be a tight race until the very end, so we have a lot of work ahead of us, but we like hard work. Hard work is good work. Hard work is joyful work. And make no mistake, we will win,” she told the Georgia crowd.

Harris’ speech was directly preceded by former President Barack Obama, as the two campaigned together for the first time ever.

“America’s ready to turn the page,” said Obama. “Together, we have a chance to choose a new generation of leadership in this country and start building a better and stronger and fairer and more hopeful America.”

Filmmaker Tyler Perry, whose production studio is based in Atlanta, told the rallygoers that he voted for Harris earlier in the day, and reminded them that “it was about 11,400 votes that separated Trump and Biden, so every vote counts.”

Georgia’s two Democrat U.S. Senators, Jon Ossoff and Rev. Rafael Warnock, took the stage earlier in the night to encourage their constituents to support Harris.

New Jersey rock legend Bruce Springsteen played acoustic versions of some of his greatest hits. “The Boss,” as he is known, has long been a vocal supporter of Democratic politicians. He formally endorsed Harris for president earlier this month.

Harris has changed her rhetoric this week, taking a more aggressive tone when describing her opponent.

At a CNN town hall event Wednesday, Harris admitted that she believes Trump is a fascist. She has also made appeals to Latino and black men in recent days in an attempt to shore up support for demographics that her campaign believes she is slipping with.

Trump is currently up by 1 percentage point in Georgia, according to a recent FiveThirtyEight polling average. Early voting began in the state last Tuesday.

Election Day is Nov. 5.
