Vice President Kamala Harris looked for a boost with persuadable and less-motivated voters as she participated in a livestream with former talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
Hundreds of thousands of viewers turned in to the broadcast, which also featured virtual appearances from a host of A-list celebrities, including Tracee Ellis Ross, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Chris Rock and Jennifer Lopez. The 70-year-old media mogul made a surprise appearance at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month, endorsing Harris’s bid for the White House.
Harris and Winfrey were also joined by the mother and sisters of Amber Nicole Thurman, who died in August 2022 after doctors failed to operate on her for 20 hours following complications from taking abortion pills, reportedly the first “preventable” death as a result of Georgia’s ban.
