With 12 days to go in the campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris was joined by former President Barack Obama, Bruce Springsteen, Tyler Perry and Spike Lee for a rally in Clarkston on Thursday night that drew more than 20,000 people, according to the campaign.

The rally on a high school football field marked Harris and Obama’s first joint appearance of the campaign, coming as more than 2 million people have voted early in Georgia and polls suggest a tight race in the state, one of seven that will likely determine the election.
