Vice President Kamala Harris will campaign with former President Barack Obama for the first time Thursday night in must-win Georgia at a star-studded rally near Atlanta to kick off her "When We Vote We Win" concert series to turn out voters in the election's closing stretch.
Bruce Springsteen, whose music has peppered many Democratic presidential candidates' set lists, is set to perform at the get-out-the-vote concert, with stars with Georgia ties joining Harris as well, including Spike Lee, Samuel L. Jackson, Tyler Perry and Mix Master David, according to the campaign.
A senior campaign official said they view these large events as ways to draw in large crowds of voters and to encourage them to cast their ballots early, and to sign up to volunteer for phone banking and door-knocking shifts.
Harris is set to appear with former first lady Michelle Obama in Michigan on Saturday, campaign officials said.
