Usher took the stage in his hometown of Atlanta to rally support for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. The R&B icon, known for his music, used this moment to make a formal political endorsement.

“Normally, I’m up here to entertain,” Usher told the crowd, “but today, I’m here for something far more significant.”

Usher’s Call for Change

Usher didn’t shy away from explaining why he’s backing Harris. “I’m supporting Vice President Harris because she fights for everyone’s rights and freedom. It doesn’t matter where you come from,” Usher shared passionately. He praised Harris’s vision for the United States, a vision he said includes small business investment, health improvements, and the promise of giving everyone a fair shot.

With Election Day quickly approaching, Usher urged his fellow Georgians to act. “With just 17 days left, we have the chance to choose a new generation of leadership,” he said. He called this election “one of the most important of our time.”

The singer expressed confidence that Harris has the right leadership qualities to guide the country forward. He remarked, “We have the power to change this moment in the present. Let’s vote for a future.”

A Social Media Push

Following the event, Usher doubled down on his endorsement via social media, where he shared videos and posts encouraging voters. He reminded his followers of the power they have to shape the future, particularly noting Georgia’s significance in the 2020 election. “Four years ago, we came together to flip our state from red to blue,” Usher posted. “Let’s come together again and vote for Kamala Harris for President of the United States.”

As the election nears, Usher’s message is clear: It’s time for change, and he believes Kamala Harris is the leader to make that change happen. “I’m counting on you,” Usher concluded, rallying the crowd to action.
