Harris and Oprah hold a star-studded rally in Michigan

Vice-President Kamala Harris and television icon Oprah Winfrey held a star-studded event in Michigan, one of the seven crucial battleground states that will decide the US election on 5 November.

Winfrey, who also spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August, asked Harris about what seemed like a sudden burst in confidence, a moment where “a veil or something dropped”, after she replaced President Joe Biden as nominee.

Hollywood stars including Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts, Chris Rock, and Ben Stiller joined a live discussion via video chat.

Harris is hoping the A-listers can help her sway undecided voters.
