John Legend On Why He’s Supporting Kamala Harris: ‘She Is Eminently Qualified to Be President’
John Legend spoke to CBS Mornings about why he's supporting Kamala Harris for President and why Democrats are not the party of 'coastal elites.'
His endorsement is now added to a roster that includes Ariana Grande, Barbra Streisand, Cardi B, Charli XCX, Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, Lil Nas X, Megan Thee Stallion, Olivia Rodrigo, Patti LaBelle and Beyoncé, whose “Freedom” has been adopted as the official Harris campaign theme song. A longtime critic of twice impeached former President Donald Trump, Legend threw cold water on the notion that the Democratic party is one of “coastal elites,” a tag often put on the party by their Republican rivals thanks to Dems’ strong support in New York and California, as well as the tendency for A-list music, movie and entertainment figures to throw in with the other side. He noted that Republicans have gone all-in on a convicted felon whose story is the very definition of what former First Lady Michelle Obama referred to as “the affirmative action of generational wealth” in her rousing DNC speech on Tuesday night.
