Celebrities are voicing their support in the 2024 U.S. presidential race, with significant figures backing both Trump and Harris. Joe Rogan, podcast host and UFC commentator, publicly endorsed Trump in a tweet linking to his interview with Trump supporter Elon Musk. Rogan cited Musk’s arguments as “the most compelling case for Trump,” explicitly stating, “yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.”
Lady Gaga, meanwhile, supported Kamala Harris at a rally in Pennsylvania, performing “God Bless America” before introducing Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, according to Forbes reporter Mary Whitfill Roeloffs. Rapper and singer will.i.am also endorsed Harris, releasing a music video titled “Yes She Can” to encourage women to vote for Harris. The video criticized Trump’s divisive politics, referencing the January 6 Capitol riots.
Other high-profile endorsements for Harris include former NBA star Magic Johnson, who joined “Athletes for Harris,” a coalition featuring Pro Football Hall of Famers, as well as Steph Curry, who called Harris the “easy choice.” Rihanna also lent her support to Harris on social media, joking about “trying to sneak into the polls with [her] son’s passport.”
Rogan’s endorsement adds to a list of Trump supporters in the entertainment and sports sectors, including UFC President Dana White and musician Kid Rock. Trump has also garnered support from billionaires Elon Musk and Steve Wynn.
These endorsements reflect the polarized nature of this year’s election, with both candidates aiming to appeal to broad demographics across sports, music, and entertainment.
