Since President Joe Biden ended his 2024 campaign and Vice President Kamala Harris started hers just over a week ago, many prominent voices in American culture have seemed to rally around Harris as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee—making her (and her as-yet-unnamed VP pick’s) possible path to the White House feel a little smoother. (The $200 million her campaign has raised in that time hasn’t hurt, either.) Even stars who haven’t formally endorsed Harris for president seem to be going out of their way to help her campaign, as Beyoncé did when she gave Harris permission to use her song “Freedom” on the trail.
Below, find a guide to the celebrities who have publicly shown their support for a Harris ticket so far.
Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo
On July 30, the two stars joined Vice President Harris for a rally at the Georgia State Convocation Center in Atlanta. While Megan performed a 10-minute set before announcing, “I’m so happy to be here, Atlanta. We about to make history with the first female president—the first Black female president. Let’s get this done, Hotties. Hotties for Harris,” Quavo—who had hosted a summit against gun violence attended by the vice president in June— took the stage to help introduce Harris herself. “This city has always been home to me…so one of these issues that I care about is resolving [gun violence],” he said. “You can’t understand the struggles of gun violence if you’re not in the field or the heart of it. One thing I learned about Vice President Harris is she always stands on business… So if you’ve never voted before, make sure you get out and vote right now, because this is the real one.”
Barack and Michelle Obama
Former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama called nominee Harris personally to share their support. The warm conversation—filled with mutual respect and excitement for the future—was shared via Harris’s YouTube channel. “We called to say Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” the former president said. Michelle Obama then went on to add: “I am proud of you. This is going to be historic.”
