Usher Joins Kamala Harris in Atlanta: Her Vision ‘Includes Everyone’

Usher appeared with Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris in Atlanta on Saturday during a get out the vote event. The artist said he took a “quick break” from his Past Present Future Tour to head to the city where he attended high school so he could emphasize the significance of this moment and the importance of this presidential election.

He said he is supporting Harris “because she fights for everyone’s rights, for freedom, and it doesn’t matter where you from. She has a vision for our country that includes everyone, a vision that supports small businesses, invests in our health, in our communities, and gives everyone a chance to get ahead,” he said. “But we got work to do. Atlanta, ATL, we got work to do to get this campaign across the finish line. I’m counting on you.”

Usher pointed out that “the voice that we have makes the difference that we want to see” and urged attendees to make calls, have conversations, and do what they can. “Everything that we do within the next 17 days will affect the lives of our children, of our grandchildren, of the people whom we love the most. Let’s vote for a future, ladies and gentlemen, the future that we want them to thrive in.”

Earlier on Saturday, Lizzo joined Harris for an early vote event in Detroit, Michigan, where they both praised Detroit after Donald Trump insulted the city last week.

“All the best things were made in Detroit: Coney dogs, Faygo, and Lizzo,” the singer said. “I’m so proud to be from this city. You know, they say if Kamala wins, then the whole country will be like Detroit. OK. Proud like Detroit. Resilient like Detroit. We’re talking about the same Detroit that innovated the auto industry and the music industry. So put some respect on Detroit’s name.”
