Madonna, the Queen of Pop, has made her endorsement public, supporting Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in the upcoming US election. The 66-year-old singer revealed she had returned home from Paris to cast her ballot for Harris, citing the importance of exercising her right to vote. This move adds to the growing list of celebrity endorsements for Harris, who has been gaining significant momentum in her bid for the White House.
Harris has been successful in harnessing the power of her celebrity supporters, with Beyoncé, Eminem, and Bruce Springsteen among those who have appeared at her campaign events. Taylor Swift, another pop superstar, added her support to Harris last month, praising the vice president as a “steady-handed, gifted leader”. Other notable celebrity backers include Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger, who despite not being a fan of either major party, believes Harris is the better choice. Schwarzenegger, a former Republican governor of California, criticized his party’s candidate, Donald Trump, saying he would “divide”, “insult”, and “find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been”.

Friends star Jennifer Aniston took to social media to share her vote for Harris, emphasizing the importance of ending the era of fear, chaos, and attacks on democracy. Aniston’s post emphasized that “whoever you are and wherever you live, your voice matters. Your vote matters.” The message resonates with many Americans, particularly as the country grapples with issues such as access to healthcare, reproductive rights, equal rights, safe schools, and a fair economy.
Mumford & Sons, a British folk band, also showed their support for Harris, performing at a campaign rally in Madison, Wisconsin, and encouraging Americans to “make a voting plan”. These celebrity endorsements serve as a powerful reminder of the significance of this election and the importance of using one’s voice to shape the country’s future.
