Kamala Harris will appear with Detroit-born singer Lizzo as the Democratic presidential nominee marks the beginning of in-person early voting in the city on Saturday.

More than 1 million Michigan residents have already voted by mail in the Nov. 5 election.

"The election is here," Harris said Friday as she campaigned around the battleground state. "The election is here right now."

Early voting in most other areas of Michigan begin next Saturday, Oct. 26. 

The vice president will get more star power later Saturday when she holds a rally in Atlanta with Usher. The singer is expected to speak at the event.

Early voting is also underway in Georgia. More than 1.2 million ballots have been cast, either in person or through the mail.

Democrats hope an expansive organizing effort will boost Harris against Republican nominee Donald Trump in the campaign's final weeks.

Her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is expected to attend a church service at Victorious Believers Ministries in Saginaw Sunday. 

Former President Trump spoke at Huntington Place in Detroit Friday night after visiting Hamtramck, Michigan. Trump is campaigning in Pennsylvania today. 

Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, will make campaign stops in Tennessee and Wisconsin this weekend.
