Amidst a day of several campaign rallies featuring celebrity endorsements, Usher capped things off in Atlanta by coming out in support of Kamala Harris. Speaking at the event, he encouraged the audience to vote early and emphasized the importance of this election in particular. “It’s just 17 days away from a very important election,” Usher said. “And we have the opportunity to choose a new generation of leadership for our country.”
At one point, a fan in the crowd yelled out, “We love you, Usher,” to which the singer replied, “I love you more, but I love Kamala Harris even more.” On a more serious note, he added that he is in favor of Harris “because she fights for everyone’s rights, for freedom, and it doesn’t matter where you from. She has a vision for our country that includes everyone, a vision that supports small businesses, invests in our health, in our communities, and gives everyone a chance to get ahead. But we got work to do. Atlanta, ATL, we got work to do to get this campaign across the finish line. I’m counting on you.”
