Unit 2: Make America Vote Again! (Tle G1_gr1)

Celebrity endorsments

The document under study is a video published in September 2024. It is about celebrities who supported the candidates for the 2024 presidential elections. We have learned that Harris had the biggest celebrity endorsement yet: Taylor Swift supported Harris through her Instagram by calling her gifted and a warrior. On top of that, she is also against JD Vance position about women’s rights. George Clooney also endorsed Harris because he liked her approach for human’s rights and justice reform. In addition, she also had DiCaprio’s support because of their common thoughts about climate change. Ariana Grande also appreciated her commitment for mental health issues. Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson endorsed Harris because of her leadership skills and her people first approach. Harris also had very strong supporters/heavy hitters such as the Obamas, John Legend and Oprah and Charli XCX who even called her a “brat” to show how she is bold and not ashamed of her opinions, furthermore, it was also the name of her new album which was very famous in the summer.

On the other hand, Trump had support from Kid Rock, a long-term supporter. Kanye West also endorsed Trump because he appreciated the way Trump challenged the status quo. Moreover, Hulk Hogan gave his support to Trump because he believes that Trump is hero. John Voit and Ted Nudge also supported Trump for his conservative values and his will to reinforce gun rights.

Celebrities who have a huge fan base can influence their fans to vote for the same party.

Recently, Elon Musk and Buzz Aldrin supported Trump. Billie Eillish, Robert Downey Jr., JLo and Bad Bunny; many people from the pop culture endorsed Harris.
