Former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom appeared together Sunday at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles to rally support for Democratic candidate Xavier Becerra in the race to succeed Newsom as governor.

The event marked their first joint public appearance in nearly a year. Both politicians are viewed as potential 2028 presidential contenders, and the gathering highlighted a show of Democratic unity in the final days before the midterm elections.

Hundreds of supporters attended the rally, billed as part of the "Stop the Power Grab" tour. Speakers urged voters to turn out on Tuesday to back Democratic candidates and counter President Donald Trump's agenda.

Harris told the crowd she was glad to be home in California. Newsom followed her remarks by calling for applause for the former vice president before focusing on Becerra and the need for strong Democratic turnout.

The appearance comes as Democrats seek to maintain or expand their advantages in the nation's most populous state. Becerra, the former U.S. health secretary and longtime California official, is positioned to continue the state's Democratic leadership.

Newsom and Harris have a long history of both collaboration and rivalry dating back to their early days in San Francisco politics. Their disciplined focus on the midterm races left little public indication of any tension over future ambitions.

At the end of the program, Harris, Newsom, Becerra, and other California Democrats including Sens. Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla returned to the stage to clasp hands and raise them together in a display of solidarity.

Tuesday's elections will determine control of Congress and fill key state offices, including the California governorship.
