Vice President Kamala Harris brought in some of the biggest political and entertainment superstars in the world Thursday night for a rally in Georgia.

But after hours waiting in line and standing in the sun, hundreds of fans headed for the exit before the Democratic presidential nominee’s remarks.

Harris appeared on stage with former President Obama for the first time in the 2024 campaign season with the rally in the suburbs of the critical swing state.

A win in Georgia is critical for either Harris or Trump on the path to winning what could be one of the closest presidential elections in history on November 5.

After Obama spoke, Harris took the stage, but her usual walk-on song did not play leaving the 60-year-old to enter without the same energy seen at other rallies.

While the vast majority of attendees in the stadium stayed, dozens of people were spotted exiting the bleachers while she spoke.

During the rally, she borrowed a phrase from the former president ‘yes we can’ to which the crowd chanted it back

Besides Obama, earlier programming featured a performance from rock legend Bruce Springsteen, an introduction by filmmaker Tyler Perry and appearances by Spike Lee and Samuel L Jackson.

According to the campaign, 23,000 people were in attendance for the event making it the biggest rally of the campaign to date.

Harris hugged Obama upon entering and recalled going to Springfield, Illinois seventeen years ago to support Obama’s candidacy for president at the top of her speech. She said his support and friendship means the world.

The vice president also vowed to win the election and borrowed a phrase from Obama’s own successful campaign declaring ‘yes we can’ as the crowd chanted back the rallying cry used on the 2008 trail.

Before Harris took the stage, Obama delivered his own speech similar to the one the former Democratic president has been giving all across the country.
