Vice President Kamala Harris is set to join former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama for 'Get Out The Vote' events in the battleground states of Georgia and Michigan. This marks the first time Harris will be hitting the campaign trail with either of the Obamas, as confirmed by a senior campaign official.
As Election Day approaches, campaign advisers are intensifying efforts to boost voter turnout by enlisting surrogates to rally voters in crucial states. Today, Harris will be appearing alongside former President Obama in Georgia, where early voting has already commenced.
On Saturday, Harris will travel to Michigan to join forces with Michelle Obama to kick off the first day of voting in the state. This event will also mark Michelle Obama's debut on the campaign trail in support of the Harris-Walz ticket.
Obama and Harris share a 20-year acquaintance, and the enthusiasm surrounding Harris' candidacy, as well as the enthusiastic crowds chanting her name, have drawn parallels to Obama's groundbreaking 2008 presidential campaign.
Earlier this month, Obama addressed Black men who may be hesitant to support Harris, emphasizing that it is crucial not to abstain from voting in this election and suggesting that gender bias might be a factor in their reluctance to back the vice president.
Furthermore, the former president recently campaigned alongside Harris' running mate, Tim Walz, in Michigan, underscoring the collaborative efforts within the Democratic campaign to secure crucial swing states.
