Director Spike Lee, actor Samuel L. Jackson, filmmaker Tyler Perry and DJ Mix Master David all plan to join Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama, and musician Bruce Springsteen at a major rally in Atlanta, the Harris campaign confirmed.

The event, part of the "When We Vote We Win" concert series, aims to boost voter enthusiasm and encourage early voting among Georgians. Perry is scheduled to deliver remarks, while Mix Master David will serve as the emcee and DJ for the rally.

This rally marks the first time Vice President Harris will appear on the campaign trail alongside former President Obama.

The rally will be held at Halliford Stadium in Clarkston.

The rally comes a day after an equally star-studded rally for Harris' Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump.

According to the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, more than 2.1 million Georgians have already voted early in the 2024 presidential election as of Wednesday morning. That accounts for about 30% of the state's registered voters.

The margin between the two candidates remains slim. A recent poll by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the University of Georgia found Trump with 47% support in the state compared to Harris's 43%. The survey said 8% of voters remain undecided.

Traffic delays expected during Harris's visit

Because of the vice president's visit to metro Atlanta, several roads in DeKalb County will see delays starting around noon.

The DeKalb County Police Department said Interstate 285, Memorial Drive, Memorial College Drive, and North Indian Creek Drive will all see delays and congestion until around 5:30 p.m.

Drivers should look for alternate routes and avoid the area as much as possible.
