The 2024 US presidential race has attracted a wave of celebrity endorsements, with stars throwing their influence behind Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. On Harris’s side, major figures like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Bruce Springsteen have shown their support. Speaking to crowds, Beyoncé urged Americans to vote for a future with “no ceilings,” while Springsteen called for action against what he described as threats to the American way of life. Oprah Winfrey and Stevie Wonder have also endorsed Harris, with Winfrey celebrating her as a powerful symbol of the American Dream.
Trump’s camp, meanwhile, has its own roster of celebrity backers. Tech billionaire Elon Musk appeared at rallies, calling himself “dark, gothic MAGA” and donating millions to Trump’s campaign. Former wrestler Hulk Hogan and Dr Phil have also stood up for Trump, with Dr Phil emphasising Trump’s resilience against political pushback. Rapper Ye and comedian Russell Brand have added their voices, with Brand calling Trump’s stance a challenge to “technological feudalism.”
The contrasting endorsements highlight the divide between the candidates’ platforms and their appeal across America’s cultural landscape. Whether these famous voices will sway voters remains to be seen.
