On the night before Election Day, at campaign events across the country, celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga and Jon Bon Jovi turned out in force for Kamala Harris ' presidential bid.
The battleground state of Pennsylvania was particularly starry: In Pittsburgh, the vice president's rally featured Cedric the Entertainer, and Andra Day. In Philadelphia, the finale of Harris' daylong dash across Pennsylvania, performers and presenters included DJ Cassidy, Fat Joe and Ricky Martin, while Gaga sang a soulful “God Bless America†and Winfrey brought first-time voters to the stage.
Republican was decidedly unimpressed with Harris' celebrity lineup.
He insisted his campaign doesn't need celebrities to pack in a crowd, adding: "We don’t need a star because we have policy. We have great policy.â€
At another point in the same rally, though, he enthused: "So many celebrities here, it’s incredible: Mike Pompeo, please stand up,†introducing his former secretary of state.
Trump also was joined by Megyn Kelly and baseball star Roberto Clemente’s son.
Harris lined up performers to speak and play at campaign rallies in all seven battleground states on Monday, and melded them all into one Democratic get-out-the-vote livestream.
In Las Vegas, performers included Christina Aguilera and In Raleigh, North Carolina, Sugarland, the country music duo of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, took the stage.
In Detroit, performers included Jon Bon Jovi, who sang a quiet acoustic version of his band's working-class anthem “Livin' on a Prayer.â€
