During the past days, many of the country’s celebrities have lined up to show their support for Biden and his deputy, Kamala Harris. Taylor Swift, Madonna, Cardi B, Tom Hanks and George Clooney announced their support for the Democratic nominee.
In an editorial for V magazine, singer Taylor Swift urged her fans to vote for Biden and Harris, and she shared her support for them with her 140 million Instagram followers.
Actor Dwayne Johnson – who describes his political leanings as independent and is now the most followed man in America on Instagram – said in a video recording that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are “the best choice to lead the country.”
The 2008 Democratic primaries Studies indicate that the enthusiastic early support that famous anchor Oprah Winfrey showed to Barack Obama at the time, gave him about a million additional votes.
Researchers say that the “Oprah effect” was the reason for the difference in the popular vote between Obama and his rival for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton.
What celebrities can do is motivate voters to come out and vote, which is what we see this year. like the Pop star Ariana Grande who urged her 280 million followers on Twitter and Instagram to register to vote in her hometown, Florida, before the deadline .
“My friends in Florida, we need you. Today is the last day to register to vote. If you don’t register or know a friend or relative who hasn’t done yet, it is important that you try to register, because Florida has the power to influence the election outcome,” she wrote.
