Vice President Kamala Harris visits the Philadelphia church before the campaign rally Sunday evening

Vice President Kamala Harris is back in Philadelphia Sunday, as the countdown to Election Day approaches a week.

Harris, who spent several days in the Delaware Valley this past week, will visit the Church of Christian Compassion in Philadelphia on Sunday morning before holding a campaign rally in the city later tonight.

On Wednesday, October 23, Harris visited the famous 4th Street Deli in Philadelphia’s Queen Village neighborhood before attending a town hall in Delaware County. Earlier this week, the vice president spoke with former Congresswoman Liz Cheney in Chester County in the first of three moderated conversations in battleground states.

During that conversation, Harris appealed to Republican voters who are unsure about voting for former President Donald Trump, claiming he was using the presidency as a way to “demean and divide” Americans.

“I think people are rightfully exhausted by that,” Harris said. “And it does not empower our nation to tell the American people that we should mistrust and mistrust each other.”

Harris will tap into the star power of some of her biggest supporters during a benefit concert at Temple University’s Liacouras Center on Monday, according to multiple sources.

Twenty Grammy winner Bruce Springsteen does headlining a concert and a rally with former President Barack Obama as part of the Harris campaign’s efforts to mobilize voters in the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election.

Speaking to CBS News Philadelphia’s Joe Holden, Harris said she is “honored” to have Obama’s support on the campaign trail. “And for people like Bruce Springsteen to have their support, and of course he’s an American icon, I think it just shows the breadth and depth of the support that we have,” Harris said.

When asked if any other major supporters were planning to come to the event on Monday, Harris said with a laugh, “I don’t have anything to announce at this time. Stay tuned, though.”

Earlier this month of October, Springsteen supported Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, calling former President Trump “the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”
