Coming soon to a livestream near you: Oprah Winfrey. The television host and producing powerhouse will hold a virtual rally next week to corral support for Vice President Kamala Harris presidential bid, according to a press release.
Winfrey will headline Unite for America, billed by organizers as a call to action for pro-Harris grassroots groups. To produce the event, she is partnering with Win With Black Women, as well as more than 140 other organizations, including Cat Ladies for Kamala, Swifties for Harris, and White Dudes for Harris.
Around 400 in-person voters will also attend the event, which will be beamed out to platforms including YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Twitch, and Instagram.
The vice presidents campaign has found considerable success in the realm of virtual programming, with pro-Harris groups hosting giant, hourslong Zoom calls that have pulled in millions of dollars in fundraising, most of them small donations by first-timers.
