Kamala Harris’ campaign added even more star power to the lineup for “When We Vote We Win” concerts in Philadelphia on Monday night.
The campaign announced that twelve-time Grammy winner John Legend will join Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama at Temple University’s Liacouras Center for the event, which aims to mobilize Pennsylvania voters ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
Legend has been in town since at least Sunday evening, where he met the vice president during her campaign rally at the Alan Horwitz “Sixth Man” Center. He shared a photo of the couple on Instagram and wrote: “Fighting for our future, fighting for our freedom in Philadelphia with Madam Vice President.”
Harris kicked off the “When We Vote We Win” tour with Springsteen and Obama in Atlanta last week, and plans to take the concert to multiple battleground states.
“I’m very honored to have the support of President Obama, as you know, he’s campaigned and he’s been great and extraordinary,” she told CBS News Philadelphia reporter Joe Holden. “And people like Bruce Springsteen, who have their support. Of course he’s an American icon. It shows the breadth and depth of support that we have.”
Monday’s rally and concert follows Harris’ multi-stop visit to Philadelphia on Sunday. Harris gave a speech at the Church of Christian Compassion’s Sunday morning service before stopping by the Philly Cuts barbershop near 44th and Chestnut streets to talk to black men about voting.
The campaign rally in North Philadelphia ended the day. ‘The elections are here. And the choice, Philly, is truly in your hands,” Harris told the crowd.
