This Wednesday, September 18, the 22-year-old singer officially announced her support for the Democratic candidate in order to counter Donald Trump. The presidential elections will be held on November 5 in the United States.
Support for Kamala Harris is growing. After Taylor Swift’s stance, officially announcing last week that she would vote for the Democratic candidate, Billie Eilish has just followed suit. This Wednesday, September 18, the American superstar urged her community to oppose Donald Trump, who is also running for the White House, in a video posted on her social networks. In a duet with her brother, the musician Finneas, the singer wrote: “We are going to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz (the candidate’s running mate, Editor’s note:), because they are fighting to protect (women’s) rights to control their bodies, our planet and our democracy.”
And she continued: “We cannot let extremists control our lives, our freedoms and our future. The only way to stop them (…) is to vote and elect Kamala Harris. Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.” The 22-year-old singer, followed by nearly 119 million subscribers on Instagram, is a major support for the politician, who has been seconding current President Joe Biden for four years.
Popularity rating
There is no doubt that this new position will have an impact on Kamala Harris’ popularity. Let us recall that the day after Taylor Swift announced her support for the latter, the Vote.org platform, which helps citizens register to vote, had recorded nearly 337,000 additional visits.
