Music stars support Harris: Lizzo and Usher mobilize voters!
Ahead of the US presidential election on November 5th, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is showing strong support from music greats. In addition to Harris, Donald Trump is running as a Republican challenger, with the election campaign focusing particularly on the contested swing states of Michigan and Georgia.
These states are crucial because the electoral votes there are often very tight. In this context, star appearances are particularly effective. Usher, the singer known for hits like “Yeah!”, and rapper Lizzo, who rose to fame with “Truth Hurts,” are using their fame to mobilize voters and campaign for Harris.
Prominent support for Harris
At an appearance in Atlanta, Usher called for people to cast their votes early. “I support Vice President Harris because she fights for the freedoms of all people,” he said with conviction. It is important that people understand how their voices can influence the future. The call for early voting is particularly important since there are only 17 days left until the election.
Kamala Harris herself addressed the audience in a speech and emphasized her middle-class roots. She made it clear that she had not forgotten the voters and that Trump wants to give massive tax cuts to the rich, which would be detrimental to the population. She particularly highlighted Jimmy Carter, the ex-president, who served as a role model. “If he can vote early, so can you!” she said.
The power of music in the election campaign
Artist Lizzo also addressed Michigan voters and proudly announced that she had already voted for Harris. “It’s time for America to have its first female president,” Lizzo said enthusiastically. She emphasized the need for change and a positive vision for the country, comparable to the pride and resilience of Detroit.
In addition to these two artists, numerous other stars have clearly positioned themselves and are openly supporting Harris. Singers like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish, as well as music greats like Bruce Springsteen, have also raised their voices. Trump, on the other hand, is supported by controversial figures such as Kid Rock and Kanye West, underscoring the polarization in the election campaign.
The tension between Harris and Trump is palpable, as both sharply attack each other's positions. Trump called Harris a “shitty vice president” and said that she was not as smart as Joe Biden, who himself is not considered the smartest president. This strategy of making a name for himself with insults is typical for Trump, as he often relies on populist rhetoric.
In another appearance, Harris warned that Trump is increasingly perceived as unstable and unsuitable for the presidency. These statements are intended to persuade voters to advocate for change. “People see the reality and we have to recognize who wants to be president,” she emphasized in a press conference.
The nation's eyes are now on the upcoming elections, where showbiz stars and political challengers can play a crucial role. The ballot box will have a significant impact on the future of the United States on November 5th as the election campaign continues to be intense in the swing states.
