FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris was looking for a boost with persuadable and less-motivated voters as she participated in a livestream Thursday evening with former talk show host Oprah Winfrey. The event, billed as “Unite for America,” is being hosted by Winfrey from suburban Michigan, one of this election’s key battlegrounds. More than 250,000 people were watching on the Harris campaign livestream on YouTube alone as Winfrey introduced the vice president. “We each have those moments in our lives when it’s time to step up,” Harris responded when Winfrey asked about her overnight transformation as she went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to being the Democratic nominee.
