Harris gave her closing speech in front of the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the “Swing State” of Pennsylvania, the setting for the cult film “Rocky” about the rise of a boxer. “It’s good to be back in the City of Brotherly Love, where the foundation of our democracy was forged, and here on these famous steps, a tribute to those who start as underdogs and work their way to victory,” Harris said. The Democratic vice president reiterated her promise to be a president for all Americans.

The meticulously choreographed event, with guests such as star musician Lady Gaga, who also called for Harris to be elected, and TV icon Oprah Winfrey, was reminiscent of great American television moments such as the Oscars and Grammy Awards or the Super Bowl halftime show. Tens of thousands of enthusiastic spectators cheered Harris.
Winfrey campaigned for Harris
The well-known US talk show host Oprah Winfrey has urgently called for the election of the Democratic presidential candidate. “All the fear and anxiety that you feel: you feel it because you feel the danger, and you change that with your vote,” the 70-year-old said at Harris’ final rally in Philadelphia. “We vote for healing instead of hate.”
