Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are set to bring out high-profile celebrity supporters this weekend in Michigan and Pennsylvania, two pivotal battleground states in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
In Detroit, pop star Lizzo will headline a campaign event for Harris, lending her multi-Grammy award-winning star power to rally voters. Harris will also be joined by R&B icon Usher at a get-out-the-vote rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, as Democrats intensify their efforts to boost turnout ahead of Election Day.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump will be backed by tech billionaire Elon Musk in Pennsylvania. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has become one of the most vocal critics of the Biden administration and a prominent figure in U.S. political discourse since his acquisition of Twitter, now known as X. Musk endorsed Trump earlier this year and has emerged as a significant supporter of his campaign, contributing nearly $75 million to Trump’s political group, America PAC.
With just under three weeks remaining until the election, polls indicate a tight race between the candidates. Both Harris and Trump are focusing heavily on swing states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, where voter turnout could tip the balance in what is expected to be one of the closest presidential contests in recent memory.
Musk’s growing political influence and vocal criticism of President Joe Biden have made him a key figure in Trump’s reelection efforts. His involvement adds a new dimension to the race, as both candidates seek to leverage celebrity endorsements to energize their respective voter bases in the final stretch of the campaign.
Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, has intensified her campaign in key battleground states as early voting surges. With high-profile supporters like Barack Obama and Megan Thee Stallion backing her, Harris has sharpened her criticism of Donald Trump’s mental fitness, questioning his ability to serve after reports of his exhaustion surfaced. Meanwhile, early voting has been robust, with nearly 12 million ballots cast by Friday, many in critical swing states. Harris is encouraging voters to cast their ballots early, aiming to counter the Republican advantage typically seen on Election Day.
