Billie Eilish endorses Harris: ‘Vote like your life depends on it’

Published: Sep 19 2024

Billie Eilish, the iconic entertainer, has emerged as the latest luminary to rally behind Vice President Harris's White House aspirations, passionately urging her vast fanbase to "cast their votes as if their very existence hinges on it." In a poignant video shared across social media platforms on Tuesday, Eilish declared, "Our ballots are for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, champions who stand tall in safeguarding our reproductive liberties, our precious planet, and the very fabric of our democracy."

Echoing her sentiments, Eilish's brother and long-time creative partner, Finneas O'Connell, added a solemn note to the message, which reached over 7 million followers on X. "We cannot cede control of our lives, freedoms, and the future we envision to the forces of extremism," he emphasized. "The choice before us is crystal clear," the post underscored, as Eilish, now 22, exhorted, "Vote as if your life hangs in the balance – because, indeed, it does."

This endorsement, which harmoniously aligned with National Voter Registration Day, follows in the footsteps of another musical megastar lending her voice to Harris's campaign. Taylor Swift, in a sudden and stirring social media declaration last week, immediately after the presidential debate between Harris and former President Trump, announced her intention to cast her ballot for Harris in November. Swift penned a heartfelt Instagram post, extolling Harris as a "warrior who fearlessly champions the rights and causes I hold dear."
