    Celebrity endorsements rarely decide elections. But they can have a tangible impact, leading to an uptick in voter turnout or donations.

    Consider Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement of former President Barack Obama in 2008. A 2013 study from researchers at Northwestern University found Winfrey’s endorsement was responsible for roughly 1 million votes for Obama. Campaign contributions after her endorsement increased more in counties where Oprah’s namesake magazine had high per capita sales than in other counties.

    It's not just reporters in Chicago. The DNC has invited content creators and influencers to cover the convention

    And whether it’s former President Donald Trump at the recent Republican National Convention or Vice President Kamala Harris at this week’s Democratic National Convention, the top candidates aren’t shy about leaning into star power to help woo voters.

    After launching her presidential campaign following Biden’s withdrawal from the race, Harris has received support from a number of figures in Hollywood elite circles, as well as industry unions such as the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE).

    Rappers Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo joined Harris on stage at a rally last month in Atlanta.

    Republican nominee Trump saw an outpouring of public from entertainment figures after his assassination attempt at a July rally. Several celebrities attended the Republican National Convention last month, including country singer Jason Aldean, actor Russell Brand and reality television star Savannah Chrisley.

    More endorsements could roll in for both candidates before Nov. 5. There could even be some surprises in the remaining days of the DNC, such as Atlanta rapper and producer Lil Jon’s Tuesday night performance during the state roll call as Georgia’s Democratic delegates cast their ceremonial votes for Harris.

    Wake up, America! Harris and Walz will put us into a really bad place.If she wins in November , you can kiss your military aged kids goodbye! This will happen if you do! VOTE SMARTER IN NOVEMBER PEOPLE! TRUMP AND VANCE IN 2024 TO RESTORE! This Communist Hitler Actions NEEDS TO END ASAP! People wake up. Do you really want this in our USA? They are so desperate. So, they make you desperate. They don’t Believe in God, Jesus Christ who is our Savior. They don’t care about your brothers and sisters who died for our Country. They don’t know what it is to be poor. She talks about food prices & yet she is at the store buying groceries, while there are those who are hungry & forgotten. She goes home to her Mansion with lights, water, gas, & her groceries. While you sit with none of those things. She is letting immigrants, those which are illegals, take your jobs, your money, your health care & your Social Security.Please don’t fall for the lies.
