As Harris continues her tour through US swing states, musicians Usher and Lizzo campaign on her behalf.
United States Vice President Kamala Harris has deployed some of the music industry’s star power to rally voters in the final weeks before November’s presidential election.
On Saturday, two of the Democratic nominee’s events were headlined by prominent musicians.
At her first stop, in Detroit, Michigan, the singer and rapper Lizzo warmed up the crowd with a passionate on-stage endorsement.
“I already voted early and I voted for Harris,” the musician, a Detroit native, told a cheering crowd.
Michigan is one of about seven key swing states in the presidential race, which could tilt either towards the Democrat or her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump.
