All the Musicians Supporting Kamala Harris in the 2024 Presidential Election

After weeks of mounting pressure from fellow Democrats to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, sitting POTUS Joe Biden announced on July 21 that he was doing just that — shortly after which he endorsed his own vice president, Kamala Harris, to take on the role instead.
In the hours that followed, countless party members, public figures and voters alike provided an outpouring of support for the attorney-turned-politician’s last-minute campaign, which raised more than $50 million in fundraising less than a day after it launched. “On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country,” Harris wrote in a public response to the news. “I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.”
So, too, did musicians get on board. Following a noticeable and well-documented drought in celebrities endorsing Biden for a second term in the early months of 2024, many were suddenly quick to publicly back Harris as soon as she took the reins. Everyone from Ariana Grande to Cardi B and John Legend shared their approval of the VP’s candidacy, while Charli XCX notably declared online, “Kamala IS brat.”
And immediately after the presidential debate on Sept. 10, Taylor Swift shared her support for the VP. “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” the pop superstar shared on Instagram with a photo of herself and her cat Benjamin Button. “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
More stars are sure to throw their hats in the ring as election day draws closer, while others — Jason Aldean, Kid Rock and others — will likely continue to cheer on former president Donald Trump as the Republican party’s nominee.
Billboard will update this list as more endorsements roll in, but for now, keep reading to see which artists and other music-world figures have expressed their support of Kamala Harris’ 2024 bid for the White House below.
