HOUSTON (AP) \u2014 Kamala Harris returns to Michigan on Saturday for a rally with former first lady Michelle Obama, the latest in a series of her campaign‘<\/b>
\nKamala Harris returns to Michigan on Saturday for a rally with former first lady Michelle Obama, the latest in a series of her campaign\u2019s high-profile combinations intended to boost turnout among the Democratic Party faithful.
Harris appearted with Beyonc\u00e9 on Friday in Houston, and she campaigned with former President Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen on Thursday in Atlanta.
It\u2019s a level of celebrity clout that surpasses anything that Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, has been able to marshal this year. But there\u2019s no guarantee that will help Harris in the close race for the White House. In 2016, Hillary Clinton often fired up crowds with musical performances and Democratic allies, but she lost to Trump.
Trump brushed off Harris\u2019 attempt to harness star power for her campaign.
\u201cKamala is at a dance party with Beyonc\u00e9,\u201d the former president said Friday in Traverse City, Michigan. Trump, the Republican nominee for president, is scheduled to hold a rally in Novi, a suburb of Detroit, on Saturday before a later event in State College, Pennsylvania.
Harris and Michelle Obama will be in Kalamazoo, in the southwestern part of the state. It\u2019s the first day that early in-person voting becomes available across Michigan. More than 1.4 million ballots have already been submitted, representing 20% of registered voters.
When Clinton was running against Trump, Michelle Obama inspired Democrats with the slogan \u201cwhen they go low, we go high.\u201d
But this year, at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, she adopted a more biting approach. She accused Trump of \u201cdoubling down on ugly, misogynistic, racist lies as a substitute for real ideas and solutions that will actually make people\u2019s lives better.\u201d
Democratic President Joe Biden is scheduled to be in Pittsburgh for a campaign event with the Laborers\u2019 International Union of North America.
