Rapper Megan Thee Stallion recently stole the spotlight at a campaign rally supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, delivering an electrifying performance for an audience of 10,000 in Atlanta. Alongside her, Migos rapper Quavo also voiced his support for Harris, who after President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race in July, is now the leading Democratic presidential nominee.
The star-studded rally is just one example of how celebrities are rallying behind Harris. With the Democratic National Convention set for Chicago from August 19 to 22, many famous faces are expected to gear up and showcase their support for her campaign, particularly as Harris prepares for the upcoming election in November.
On the other side, the Republican National Convention had a notable performance from Kid Rock, showing how music and politics often intersect during campaign seasons.
