In less than 24 hours following Biden’s endorsement, Harris’s campaign surged with over $50 million in donations, showcasing the excitement surrounding her candidacy. “I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” Harris expressed, thanking Biden for his leadership and commitment to the American people.
As Harris’s campaign gains momentum, musicians from various genres are throwing their weight behind her. Following an initial lull in celebrity endorsements for Biden’s campaign, artists have enthusiastically stepped forward to support Harris. From pop icons to legendary rock stars, the music community is making their voices heard.
Star-Studded Support for Harris
Ariana Grande, shortly after Biden’s endorsement, rallied her fans on social media to register to vote, demonstrating her commitment to the cause.
Taylor Swift, after the presidential debate on September 10, took to Instagram, stating, “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”
Cardi B has been a vocal advocate for Harris, asserting back in June that the moment was ripe for Harris to lead the charge, and celebrated Biden’s withdrawal with excitement on social media.
This growing list of endorsements features musical heavyweights:
Beyoncé cleared her song “Freedom” for use in Harris’s campaign, a gesture that speaks volumes about her support.
Billie Eilish and Finneas urged their followers on National Voter Registration Day to vote for Harris, highlighting her commitment to reproductive rights and democracy.
Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, and Lizzo have also publicly declared their support, emphasizing the importance of a leader who embodies progress and unity.
Many musicians are not just endorsing Harris but actively engaging in her campaign. Megan Thee Stallion performed at a rally in Atlanta, while Jason Isbell and James Taylor joined in supporting the Democratic National Convention. Even iconic groups like Foo Fighters pledged to donate any royalties from unauthorized use of their music by Trump’s campaign to Harris’s efforts.
As Election Day approaches, the momentum continues to build. While some artists, such as Kid Rock and Jason Aldean, stand firmly behind Donald Trump, Harris’s support base is expanding rapidly. Billboard will keep the public updated as more musicians lend their voices to this critical cause.
With the music world aligning behind her, Kamala Harris’s campaign is poised to make significant strides as the 2024 election draws near. The enthusiasm from these artists reflects a broader desire for change, unity, and progress in America. As Harris herself stated, “Together, we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
