Friday Briefing: Stars Rally for Harris

With less than two weeks left before Election Day, Kamala Harris is pulling out big names to drive her supporters to the polls. She’ll hold a rally in Georgia with Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen in the coming hours. And tomorrow, she’ll share the stage with Beyoncé at a rally in Texas.

Between Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, who endorsed Harris after the presidential debate last month, Harris now has the backing of two of the world’s biggest pop stars, who carry particular influence with younger people.

At the same time, as the Harris campaign moves toward the political center, some worry that excitement among young voters is fading. The campaign’s tack to the right is meant to target college-educated, wealthier, white voters who may have voted Republican in the past. But some Democrats say she risks going too far and alienating progressives and working-class voters.
