Pop star Katy Perry supports Kamala Harris in the 2024 election despite her previous association with Elon Musk, who publicly backs former President Donald Trump.
- Nov 5, 2024
AceShowbiz - Katy Perry has switched her support from Elon Musk to Kamala Harris, just hours before Election Day. Perry performed at a Harris rally, a move that comes after Musk strongly supported Harris' competitor, Donald Trump.
Perry's support for Harris is not new; she has previously performed at Democratic events. However, her affiliation with Musk has been controversial, given his past donations to Trump and his sharing of election-related misinformation on social media.
A report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate claims that Musk's posts containing false or misleading information about the election have garnered billions of views on X, the platform he owns.
In response to concerns about election security, authorities have heightened security around polling stations and activated the National Guard in some states.
Despite security precautions, election officials are urging voters to remain calm and confident in the integrity of the election process. They emphasize that Georgia's systems are secure and that any potential disruption due to fringe activities will be handled.
Perry is joined by a host of celebrities campaigning for Harris, including Lady GaGa, Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce Knowles. The support of prominent figures highlights the heightened stakes of this close election, as Harris and Trump compete to lead the country.
