According to a Harris campaign spokesperson, the rally will be held at Temple University's Liacouras Center.


................ He shared a photo of the pair on Instagram, writing "Fighting for our future, fighting for our freedom in Philadelphia with Madam Vice President."

Legend, who performed at the Democratic National Convention in August, endorsed Harris for president earlier this year. In an August interview with CBS Mornings, Legend told Tony Dokoupil that Harris' political experience is one of the reasons he think she's fit to serve as commander in chief.

4. And my niece, who is a freshman at Temple this year

is there in the building! And she had floor tickets! She said it was packed in there.

I remember when she was just 2 years old when Obama was first running in 2008, and me trying to get her to say "Obama! Obama! Obama!"!

(and on a sad note, their kitty just went over the rainbow bridge today at age 14 so hopefully this will give her some joy)

6. My sister's kitty

but I did kitteh-sit her many times here and there is an emptiness in my heart right now. She was a big puffy longhair tortie and had really slowed down the past year. The past month she wasn't eating much and my sis took her to the vet a couple times the past couple weeks but knew it wasn't going to be long. My sis said she was peaceful when she left.

8. I'm sorry

7. these powerhouse endorsements add up!

Not everyone who is a fan votes the way their idol votes, but some do.

In a close race these high-quality endorsements add up to big wins!

Harris is accumulating so many musician endorsements that she'll be able to hold her own festivals soon.
