On the eve of the most important elections in the world, on the other side of the Atlantic the parade of stars continues until the day before the elections. The slightest support is obviously not a refusal in the race for the smallest percentages.
The two candidates are still neck and neck in the polls. The elections are very close and each of the candidates is putting all the chances on their side to hope to win. The number of celebrities ready to support Donald Trump and Kamala Harris has continued to grow in recent days. The Democratic candidate can boast of having Beyoncé at her side, who made a notable appearance at the Democrat’s meeting in Houston, Texas, on October 25. Singers such as: Bad Bunny, Taylor Swfit, Cardi B, Steve Wonder, Lizzo, who brought the Democratic candidate back to the stage of a campaign event, also chose the Democratic Party.
She also has the privilege of being supported by: Eminem, basketball player Stephan Curry, Matt Demon and the famous actor George Clooney. LeBron James, Beyoncé, Jennifer Aniston, and even the former Republican governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger have also rallied behind the great opponent of Donal Trump.
More popular celebrities on Trump’s side
For his part, the former 45th President of the United States called on a rather atypical and ordinary team. Among the celebrities who publicly support him, we find Joe Exotic, the recognized host Joe Rogan, the rappers Kanye West and Lil Pump, the wrestlers Hulk Hogan and Undertaker, Tyson Fury, the YouTube star Logan Paul and even the president of UFC, Dana White. Without obviously forgetting the considerable support of billionaire Elon Musk, who does not hesitate to put his hand in his pocket to encourage Americans to vote for the Republican.
An effect that still remains difficult to quantify. Indeed, according to a recent survey by YouvGovonly 11% of Americans say a celebrity made them reconsider their stance on a political issue, and only 7% say an endorsement made them vote for a certain candidate, observes the Guardian.
However, another study carried out in 2024 by the Harvard Kennedy School showed that celebrities can increase the number of voter registrations, particularly among… young people. In 2020 for example, Kylie Jenner posted a voter registration link, in the process, the site reported a 1,500% increase in traffic and an 80% increase in total users registering to vote, as reported by our colleagues from Liberation.
