NBA legend Magic Johnson is set to deliver a speech at an event hosted by Vice President Kamala Harris in Flint, Michigan, on Friday. Organizers of the event have confirmed this exciting news.
Originally from Lansing, Michigan, Johnson has been a vocal supporter of Harris, endorsing her candidacy and actively participating in various outreach coalitions such as 'Athletes for Harris' and 'Business Leaders for Harris'.
Johnson's presence at the event is significant as the Harris campaign intensifies its efforts to engage with Black voters, particularly Black male voters, in crucial states. Recent polls have shown that President Trump is gaining more support from Black male voters compared to the 2020 election against President Joe Biden.
Aside from Magic Johnson, other notable speakers scheduled to address the audience include United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) President April Verrett, Michigan Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, and Michigan Representative Elissa Slotkin.
This event serves as a platform for influential figures to rally support for Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign, aiming to strengthen connections with key voter demographics and secure crucial endorsements as the election approaches.
