Several high-profile celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, and others, joined Kamala Harris and Oprah Winfrey for a virtual event in Michigan. The event, which also featured appearances by various groups supporting Harris, such as Cat ladies and Swifties, focused on discussing Harris’ plans for tackling the cost of living, strengthening border security, and other key issues.
During the event, Harris outlined her policies to address price-gouging, bring down the cost of groceries, support small business owners, and extend the child tax credit. She also criticized Trump’s handling of the economy and border security, highlighting her own experience in prosecuting cross-border criminal gangs and advocating for a secure border.
Oprah praised Harris for stepping into her power and reminded attendees of the importance of unity in the face of division. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer encouraged voters to support Harris, while campaign manager Jen O’Malley-Dillon warned that the race is still tied, emphasizing the need for active voter engagement.
Celebrities like Ben Stiller and Chris Rock expressed their support for Harris, with Rock noting that he wants his daughters to meet “this black woman president.” The event, broadcast from Oakland County, Michigan, a key swing state, attracted a large audience, both in person and via video call. Oprah’s endorsement of Harris at the Democratic National Convention underscored the importance of the event in rallying support for the Democratic ticket in the upcoming election.
