Kamala Harris, Oprah Winfrey to host virtual event targeting battleground states

The forum, hosted by Winfrey, served as a major outreach platform for Harris. Celebrities like Chris Rock, Jennifer Lopez, Meryl Streep, and Ben Stiller attended virtually, helping to draw attention to the event.

Harris’s campaign strategically moved to engage voters in battleground states. The event also united members from over 100 online groups supporting Harris, such as White Dudes for Harris, Latinas for Harris, and Cat Ladies for Kamala.

Harris addressed a variety of pressing issues, speaking more extensively on immigration than in previous appearances. She acknowledged the strain illegal immigration puts on resources, including overwhelmed border patrol agents and the rise in fentanyl trafficking. She vowed to resurrect a bill that could tackle these issues, which she said was blocked by former President Donald Trump.
