Olivia Rodrigo endorses Kamala Harris following Biden's withdrawal and Harris's first rally:
Olivia Rodrigo's endorsement came after President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential election on July 21, 2024, and endorsed Kamala Harris to fight for the position instead. Harris ran her first rally on July 23, 2024, in Wisconsin, where she talked about abortion rights.
"And we who believe in reproductive freedom — we'll stop Donald Trump's extreme abortion bans because we trust women to make decisions about their own body, and not have their government tell them what to do."
As per NBC News, the experts said this can be a "turning point in the national conversation about women's health." Harris' reference to the Donald Trump abortion ban dates back to 1999, when Trump said that he hates the concept of abortion. However, after years of scrutiny and speculation, in April 2024, he denied endorsing a national abortion ban, reports AP News.
Celebrities who have endorsed Kamala Harris:
Since Kamala Harris has been nominated to join the White House race, many Hollywood celebrities have supported her. George Clooney, speaking with CNN on Tuesday, said —
"President Biden has shown what true leadership is. He's saving democracy once again. We're all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest."
American singer Barbra Streisand said in a New York Times statement that Harris "will work to restore women's reproductive freedom." Spike Lee on Instagram noted that —
"ONCE AGAIN, A SISTA COMES TO DA RESCUE."
Many other celebrities, including Aaron Sorkin, Jamie Lee Curtis, Charli XCX, Mark Hamill, John Legend, Rosie O'Donnell, and more, have endorsed the Vice President.
