Oprah Winfrey, Kamala Harris to host virtual campaign event live from Michigan Thursday
Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, will be participating in an online campaign event with TV host, producer and author Oprah Winfrey livestreamed nationally from Michigan on Thursday night, the Harris campaign confirmed Monday morning.
The Michigan Chronicle, which covers news for Michigan's African American community, first reported the online event. It said in its report that the Harris campaign told the newspaper the event would be broadcast from an undisclosed location before a small invited audience.
On Sunday night, the White House said Harris had a campaign event in metro Detroit on Thursday before heading to Wisconsin but provided no other details. On Monday morning, the Harris campaign put out a news release with a message from Winfrey saying she would host "a virtual event with Vice President Kamala Harris and voters from across our great nation to talk through these freedoms we're fighting for and how you can help us win."
That release did not say the event would be held in Michigan, however. The campaign event with Winfrey is scheduled for 8 p.m. Thursday. The Harris campaign provided no other details.
