Celebrities Samuel L Jackson and Spike Lee attended a Kamala Harris event in Georgia, urging voters to show their support early and breaking records with early voting in the state. Barack Obama and Harris appeared at the rally alongside other stars like Bruce Springsteen and Tyler Perry. The event offered a platform for speakers to denounce Donald Trump’s actions and policies, with Lee referring to him as “agent orange”. Harris praised Obama’s legacy, with shared chants like “Yes we can” and discussed his achievements. The family of Amber Nicole Thurman, a Black woman who died following Georgia’s abortion ban, was also present at the event. Meanwhile, Donald Trump held a rally in Arizona, making headlines for a controversial statement, while Phoenix police arrested a man for setting fire to a mailbox containing mail-in ballots. 29 million people have already voted in the 2024 election, with Republicans embracing early voting at Trump’s direction. Joe Biden is set to apologize for the US government’s role in forcing Native American children to attend Indian boarding schools, as he faces a tough battle to win Arizona again. Kamala Harris picked up endorsements from two Republicans and has a busy campaign schedule ahead, with high-profile events in Texas and elsewhere.
