Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey lend star-power to Kamala Harris’ Presidential election campaign in final leg of Pennsylvania rallies |
Vice President Kamala Harris is packing on the star power for the final leg of her presidential campaign, with major artists joining her “Get Out the Vote” rallies in Pennsylvania.
Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, The Roots, and Jazmine Sullivan are among the notable figures scheduled to appear at election rallies in the crucial swing state, the Harris-Walz campaign announced Sunday.
Gaga, who was most recently seen in the film ‘Joker 2’, took to her Instagram handle to make the announcement and share her excitement in a short video saying, “It’s time to get ready to vote — I’ll see you guys in Pennsylvania.”
Gaga will appear at a rally in Philadelphia on Monday, where she’ll be joined by Ricky Martin, DJ Cassidy, Fat Joe, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Freeway, and Adam Blackstone, along with special appearances by Winfrey and Sullivan.
Prior to lending her support to Harris, Gaga notably sang the National Anthem at President Joe Biden’s inauguration and later was named as co-chair of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities.
Meanwhile, Katy Perry will headline the Pittsburgh rally, where she’ll perform alongside Andra Day and D-Nice.
Harris will attend both events to make her final appeal to voters.
The Vice President has been drawing massive star power to her various rallies across the country. Last week, Beyonce and Willie Nelson joined her in Houston, while Bruce Springsteen appeared at events in Atlanta and Philadelphia.
Earlier this week, artists Gracie Abrams, Maggie Rogers, and Remi Wolf shared the stage with Harris, and Cardi B delivered a passionate speech at a rally in Milwaukee.
Harris secured the Democratic nomination in August after President Joe Biden announced he would not be seeking re-election. She officially accepted the nomination at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, where she reached the required number of delegates.
Since launching her presidential campaign in July, Harris has gained endorsements from over 200 prominent figures in the film and entertainment industry. Over the weekend, singers Demi Lovato, Chapel Roan, Selena Gomez revealed that they were voting for Harris.
‘Avengers’ actors Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Paul Bettany and several other stars got together for the first time since ‘Avengers: Endgame’, to participate in a video promoting Kamala as the next US President.
Other Marvel actors including Kathryn Hahn and Harrison Ford have also lent their support. Ford put out a video message saying, “The truth is this, Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her about policies or ideas, and then, as we have done for centuries, we’ll debate them. We’ll work on them together, and we’ll move forward. The other guy, he demands unquestioning loyalty, says he wants revenge. I’m Harrison Ford. I’ve got one vote — same as anyone else — and I’m going to use it to move forward. I’m going to vote for Kamala Harris.”
Chloe Moretz, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ken Jeong, David Duchovny, Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon also publically endorsed Harris while Jennifer Aniston urged fans to also cast their vote saying, “Let’s please end this era of fear, chaos and the attacks on our democracy – and vote for someone who will unite us and not continue to threaten to divide us. I very proudly voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”
Pennsylvania will reportedly play a critical role in the election that takes place on November 5.
