The Democratic candidate appears with many stars during her meetings a few days before the election. Significant support that could make the difference.
Less than two weeks before the US presidential election, Kamala Harris' campaign is in full swing. This Friday, October 25, it is Beyoncé who will appear alongside the Democratic candidate during a meeting organized in Houston, Texas, according to American media.
If the superstar has not yet publicly supported Kamala Harris, this summer she gave her consent to the Democratic candidate so that she could use her song Freedomas a campaign anthem.
Before her, Kamala Harris appeared alongside several American stars who could have an influence on the American vote. Thursday, October 24, it was Bruce Springsteen who sang the candidate's praises during a meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, in the presence of Barack Obama.
“She's campaigning to be the 47th president of the United States. Donald Trump is campaigning to be an American tyrant,” he said.
Which candidate can benefit from Americans' record early voting?
The day before, Eminem gave his support to the Democratic candidate on the stage of his meeting in Detroit, Michigan. “I don't want an America where people are afraid of what might happen to them if they make their opinions known…I think Vice President Harris is fighting for a future where these freedoms are protected and defended”, he insisted before giving way to the former president who intoned a few notes of Lose Yourself.
“It can make the difference”
Other very influential people have announced their support for Kamala Harris, such as Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift. This latest support announced in September “can change the situation at the margins, but it is the margin that makes the difference now”, Lauric Henneton, lecturer in American studies at the University of Paris-Saclay, told BFMTV. .
“The elections in the few key states which remain to be determined (…) will be decided by a few thousand votes and therefore an influx of votes on one side and a loss of votes on the other can make the difference. that is to say, Elon Musk's support for Donald Trump can bring him votes, Taylor Swift's support for Kamala Harris can bring him votes,” he continued.
The day after Taylor Swift's message, the Vote.org platform, which helps Internet users register to vote, had recorded 337,000 visits. However, artists' investment in the campaign does not guarantee access to the White House: in 2016, it was despite the support of all of Hollywood that Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump.
According to the latest polls on voting intentions Americans, the gap seems to be narrowing between the two contenders for the White House at the national level. However, in this electoral system, it is the “swing states”, the states where the results are the most uncertain, which can swing the November 5 election.
