Legendary singer Cher, 78, expressed her heartfelt support for Vice President Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), on social media Friday night. With genuine warmth, she shared that she’s been a devoted follower of Harris for years, highlighting the deep connection and admiration she feels towards their leadership journey.
“I have followed Kamala Harris since she was my U.S. senator,” the “Believe” singer said in a video posted to X. “She fought for me then and she is fighting for all of us now. That’s why I’m proudly voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
She continued, “I know they will fight to protect our rights and I’m so grateful to be able to make my voice count this year. I hope you will too.”
Cher has expressed her concerns about former President Trump in the past, indicating earlier in October that she would consider leaving the country if he were to be reelected.
“I almost got an ulcer the last time,” she previously told The Guardian.
The endorsement from this iconic performer is just one of the many high-profile celebrity endorsements that the Harris-Walz campaign has secured. Notably, pop star Taylor Swift threw her support behind the vice president and Minnesota governor in September, a move that has significantly energized their campaign.
Democrats have smartly leveraged Swift’s influential backing by launching a Taylor Swift-themed voting initiative, cleverly timed with the final leg of her international tour. This strategic alignment not only amplifies their message but also engages a broader audience, making it an impactful component of their campaign strategy.
