Meryl Streep addressed Kamala Harris as "President Harris" during Oprah Winfrey’s virtual town hall on September 19, causing a humorous moment. Streep, along with other celebrities like Chris Rock and Ben Stiller, expressed support for Harris's 2024 presidential bid. The virtual rally, which included 400 in-person attendees and over 200,000 online participants, also featured discussions on reproductive rights and gun violence. Harris, in response to Streep's slip, laughed and said, “Forty-seven days,” referencing the upcoming election.

During the event, Harris spoke passionately about key issues, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and expressed condolences to the family of Amber Nicole Thurman, a woman who died due to a lack of medical care after Georgia's abortion ban. Comedian Chris Rock also voiced his support, stating he was eager to take his daughters to meet "this Black woman president" in the White House.
Harris’s lighthearted interaction with Streep added a personal touch to the serious discussions held during the town hall. With polls showing the Harris-Walz and Trump-Vance tickets tied at 47%, the election remains highly competitive. The event showcased Harris’s focus on policy while receiving significant celebrity backing.
