With less than three weeks until Election Day, Willie Nelson is lighting one up for Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Saturday, the 15x Grammy winner announced a community Zoom call “emphasizing the importance of cannabis reform in America,” in support of the Democratic nominee and running mate Tim Walz, which he’ll host virtually with wife Annie D’Angelo on Oct. 24 at 7pm from his Luck Ranch in Texas.
“I’m excited to bring together such an amazing group of people to talk about something we all care about deeply,” said Nelson in a statement. “Cannabis is a path to healing, opportunity, and justice, and supporting leaders like Kamala Harris who understand that is crucial to putting an end to the federal prohibition and undoing the harms it caused to so many, particularly to communities of color where it has been disproportionately enforced.”
Nelson’s virtual smoking circle will also include Whoopi Goldberg, Brittney Spencer, Margo Price, lawyer Dahr Jamail, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Rep. Brittany Pettersen. Attendees can RSVP online.
After her ABC News debate with Trump last month, Harris has accepted a CNN invite for an Oct. 23 town hall following the deadline for both candidates to agree to a presidential debate on the network. The town hall will be broadcast live from the critical swing state of Pennsylvania.
Although Trump previously declared “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE” for him, CNN has also proposed an individual town hall for him. He has since agreed to a pre-taped Fox News town hall focused on issues affecting women, which aired Wednesday.
