I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”
Asking Joe Biden to step down, George Clooney wrote in The New York Times, “We are not going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate.”
Barbra Streisand said, “Joe Biden will go down in history as a man who accomplished significant achievements in his 4 year term. We should be grateful for his upholding of our democracy. (Kamala Harris) will work to restore women’s reproductive freedom and continue with the accomplishments begun in the Biden-Harris administration.”
Megan Thee Stallion performed at an early Atlanta rally for Kamala and said, “Make some noise for Ms. Harris, our future president.” She added, “I know my ladies in the crowd love their body. And if you want to keep loving your body, you know who to vote for.”
When Kerry Washington hosted July’s Democratic National Convention, she told the Chicago audience, “Look, I know that I am the one standing on this stage, but I am not the lead character in this story. I am here as a mother, as a daughter, as a proud union member. I am here as the granddaughter of immigrants, as a Black woman descended from enslaved people. I am here tonight because I am an American and because I am a voter, and because we the people are stronger when all our voices are heard.”
Oprah Winfrey supported Kamala at the Democratic National Convention and said, “Decency and respect are on the ballot in 2024. Soon, very soon, we’re going to be teaching our daughters and our sons about how this child of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father — two idealistic, energetic immigrants — how this child grew up to become the 47th president of the United States.”
Beyonce allowed Kamala Harris to use her song Freedom during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters on July 22.
Eminem said at the Detroit rally, “As most of you know, the city of Detroit and the whole state of Michigan mean a lot to me. And going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever… And I think it’s important to use your voice. So I’m encouraging everybody to get out and vote.”
Sarah Jessica Parker supported Harris on social media by sharing a post that read, “For the love of my country, for our public schools, for books, for common sense gun laws, for a living wage, for opportunity, for women, for voting rights, for the Dreamers, for arts and culture, for my mother and senior citizens, for our military, past and currently serving, for the climate, for hope, for friends and loved ones in the LGBTQ+ community, for freedom, for science, for affordable healthcare, for our union members, for democracy, for my daughters, for my son, for all of our children, for equality, for dignity, for hope, for the constitution, for me, for love, for choice and for a certain childless cat lady I play on TV.”
