Harris has gained significant ground since becoming the Democratic candidate this summer. But she hasn’t closed the sale.

Harris' Atlanta trip follows ProPublica's investigation into the deaths of two Georgia women, which it tied to the state's six-week abortion ban.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is expected to attend as well. Other Harris supporters from around the country from groups like Mamas for Kamala, White Dudes for Harris, and Progressives for Harris, will appear virtually.

Vice President Kamala Harris joined host Oprah Winfrey at a star-studded campaign event in Farmington Hills, Michigan, on Thursday, which was live-streamed across multiple platforms. Why it matters: Harris campaign advisers see the "Unite for America" event that's aimed at getting people to register to vote as a huge opportunity to reach a broad cross-section of persuadable voters.

From abortion to gun violence, Oprah and VP Harris lead a conversation that brings the nation's challenges—and hope for the future—into focus, while highlighting the crucial role of Black women.
