Renowned singer and actress Jennifer Lopez will join Vice President Kamala Harris at a campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, this week, in a star-studded show of support. The event, part of the Harris campaign’s “When We Vote, We Win” series, will also feature a performance by the popular Mexican rock band Maná.
The rally, scheduled for Thursday, October 31st, aims to mobilize young and infrequent voters in the crucial battleground state of Nevada. With the final day of early voting in the state just hours away, Harris and her celebrity surrogates are making every effort to energize the electorate.
“When we all vote, we can determine the direction of our country and create a better future for our community,” Lopez said in a recent video encouraging voter registration. “Your vote is your voice and your power.”
Expect the Puerto Rican-American superstar to utilize her platform to support Harris and underscore the significance of voting in this election. This comes just days after Lopez voiced her support for Harris’ plans to invest in Puerto Rico’s economy and infrastructure on social media, following a controversial comedy routine that mocked the U.S. territory.
“Our voices are louder together. However, registering to vote is the only way to make your voice heard in Lopez’s call to action.
The Las Vegas rally is the latest high-profile event in the Harris campaign’s “When We Vote, We Win” series, which has featured a who’s who of music and entertainment superstars. Previous stops have included appearances by Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, and Maggie Rogers, all aimed at inspiring greater voter turnout.
“These influential figures can effectively communicate the stakes of the election and inspire more people to vote,” the Harris campaign said in a statement.
Given the virtual deadlock in the presidential race, Nevada’s electoral votes could potentially determine the outcome. Harris and the Biden-Harris team are clearly hoping that Jennifer Lopez’s star power and Maná’s musical stylings will give them the boost they need to win over Nevada’s diverse and engaged electorate.
As the final stretch of the campaign season approaches, the Harris team is sparing no expense to reach voters through every available channel. The Las Vegas rally serves as the latest manifestation of their comprehensive strategy to rally support in this crucial election.
