Those interested can find the 90-minute-plus event, featuring appearances from various celebrities as well as regular Americans affected by hot-button issues, on both Harris’ and Winfrey’s YouTube channels.
The rally is also available on Harris’ X (formerly Twitter) account, along with select clips highlighting the importance of voting in the Nov. 5 election as the vice president faces off against former President Donald Trump.
“There’s so much at stake in this election, and ultimately the question before us is: What kind of country do we want to live in?” Harris said. “And the beauty of a democracy — as long as we can hold onto it — the beauty of a democracy is each of us has the power to answer that question.”
Rally in Michigan for Kamala Harris
About 400 spectators attended the rally in person at the studio in Farmington Hills, Michigan, with thousands more watching on the social media livestreams. Several big names joined via Zoom to lend their support for Harris, including actors Ben Stiller and Bryan Cranston, actresses Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, and comedian Chris Rock.
Several others joined to speak about campaign issues that have directly impacted their loved ones. Attendees included the family of Amber Nicole Thurman, a 28-year-old Georgia woman who died while pregnant two years ago when doctors delayed care amid confusion over the state’s new abortion restrictions, and a 15-year-old girl injured in last month’s deadly shooting at a Georgia high school.
Harris highlighted the upcoming election as a chance for voters to make their voices heard on various issues of “freedom,” including the freedom to make decisions about their own body and be safe from gun violence.
“I love our country. I know we all do — that’s why everybody’s here right now,” Harris said. “We take pride in the privilege of being American, and this is a moment where we can and must come together as Americans, understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us.”
