Harris IS hoping that entertainment figure CAN help her get out the young vote. in Georgia and elsewhere…
Vice President Harris was joined by singer Usher on the campaign trail in Atlanta on Saturday as she continued her swing across the battleground states nearly two weeks out from Election Day.
Usher, who spent part of his childhood in Atlanta, spoke to the crowd prior to Harris taking the stage and encouraged the audience to vote early.
“It’s just 17 days away from a very important election,” the singer said. “And we have the opportunity to choose a new generation of leadership for our country.”
At one point a fan yelled “We love you, Usher,” to which the singer replied, “I love you more, but I love Kamala Harris even more.”
Usher was the second artist to join Harris on the trail on Saturday. Earlier in the day, Harris was joined by singer Lizzo in Detroit.
Polls show Trump narrowly leading in Georgia, which President Biden flipped in 2020. According to The Hill/Decisions Desk HQ’s polling average, Trump leads Harris 48.8 percent to 47.2 percent.
Harris continued her campaign’s strategy of attacking Trump’s physical fitness for office, painting a picture of a fatigued former president…..

I don’t know if Usher is really that much of a draw with “young” folks anymore. Perhaps, people in their 40s or late 30s.
But at least she didn’t spent 12 minutes talking about his schlong.
That’s young to me and Harris and definately Trump, eh?
“Young” is the likes of Chappell Roan, Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion. Usher, 50 Cent, and Diddy are in the same generation as Kanye(odds of him becoming the GOP nominee in ’28 may be worth discussing when Harris wins)
U guys have seen this……
Harris Unlikely to Campaign Again with Biden
“With just two weeks left in the 2024 campaign, there currently are no plans for Vice President Kamala Harris to appear on the trail with President Joe Biden before Election Day,” NBC News reports.
“Instead, Biden plans to try to help Harris this week by privately leveraging some of his longtime political relationships, specifically with labor leaders, and holding official White House events that highlight his administration’s record.”
Obviously, this is correct to not appear with Biden at a campaign event. Like a million times over obviously.
