Madonna Backs Kamala Harris in Final Days of Campaign
With just five days left before the US presidential election, pop icon Madonna has publicly declared her support for Vice President Kamala Harris. Sharing her experiences in Paris through an Instagram post, she emphasized the importance of voting, stating: "Paris was so much fun! I had a hard time leaving but I had to come home to vote for Kamala Harris." Madonna's endorsement adds to a growing list of celebrities rallying behind Harris, including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Eminem, who recently performed at a rally in Detroit.
Nicky Jam Withdraws Support for Trump Amid Controversy
In a significant political shift, reggaeton artist Nicky Jam has retracted his support for Donald Trump just days before the election. Initially backing Trump due to economic beliefs, Jam's decision came after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's derogatory remarks about Puerto Rico at a Trump rally. In a recent Instagram video, Jam expressed his disappointment, stating he could no longer justify his support after hearing such insults towards his homeland. Despite withdrawing from Trump, Jam stopped short of endorsing Harris, indicating a desire to step back from political affiliations altogether.
Celebrity Influence on Voter Sentiment
The dynamic landscape of celebrity endorsements reflects shifting voter sentiments as the election approaches. While Madonna and other stars bolster support for Harris, Trump's campaign faces challenges with Latino voters, particularly following Nicky Jam's withdrawal. The Trump campaign has attempted to mitigate backlash by inviting Latino speakers to recent rallies, yet the impact of derogatory comments and celebrity withdrawals may resonate with voters. As the election draws near, the influence of public figures continues to shape the political narrative.
