Kamala Harris is cranking up the celebrity heat with rock star Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama fronting her latest rally. Follow live updates.

Kamala Harris has staged a star-studded rally alongside former president Barack Obama and rock legend Bruce Springsteen.

Thousands gathered to hear the Democratic presidential candidate in the battleground state of Georgia.

In brief remarks between songs, Springsteen mispronounced Ms Harris’s given name twice, and he accused Donald Trump of running to be an “American tyrant.”

Ms Harris, seeing an erosion in the black vote - especially men - has been enlisting star-power for her closing pitch, with her rally also headlined by Samuel L Jackson and Spike Lee.

The rally in Atlanta, Georgia is Ms Harris’s first campaign stop with Obama, the only Black president in American history and who remains widely popular with Democratic voters.

Ms Harris is cranking up the celebrity heat, including reports Beyonce is set to appear in her hometown of Houston on Friday (local time), to boost support in the final days of a nailbiting election.
