John Legend Is All In For The DNC After Endorsing Kamala Harris

The love for Kamala Harris continues, with John Legend actively supporting her presidential bid.

The renowned singer-songwriter was among the first celebrities to endorse the current United States VP after President Joe Biden exited the presidential race.

Sources claim John Legend is gearing up to promote Kamala Harris' presidential campaign at the upcoming Democratic National Convention (DNC).

Sources with direct knowledge about the DNC recently revealed the "All of Me" singer would appear at the upcoming event. Although the convention's planners noted final decisions hadn't been made, insiders confirmed Legend's participation.

These sources stressed that Legend was 100% ready to promote Harris at the upcoming event. However, it was unclear if he would contribute to the VP's campaign as a speaker, singer, or a mix of both.

The R&B singer was no stranger to actively supporting presidential campaigns, with he and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, cheering for President Joe Biden during his 2020 election. Legend even performed at an Election Day eve rally in Philly for Biden.

While Legend and his family are well-known for attending events together, TMZ sources could not confirm whether the famous clan would attend the upcoming DNC together.

Since Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Harris as his replacement, Legend has wasted no effort supporting the VP's campaign. He doubled down on his support for the Democrat at a performance on Tuesday, July 23.

During the second half of his two-hour with the San Francisco Symphony, Legend kicked off his hit 2022 track "Wonder Woman" with a special shout-out to Harris, declaring: "It's about time we let a wonder woman be president."

Legend's words sparked cheers and applause from the crowd, who recognized his reference to Harris. According to The San Francisco Chronicle, he also shared more about his political history, revealing why he uses his platform for advocacy.

During his monologue, Legend said, "Some of my favorite musical moments of my career have been when I channel my political beliefs through music." He explained that his path to political advocacy began as a child after reading about "Black civil rights heroes."

These role models defined what "it meant to live a life of purpose," and they inspired Legend to use his fame for greater purposes like uplifting the Black community. In his words:

"I had a vision for myself that day and have been living that aspiration ever since. I know it's important for me to use my platform to give back."

Legend continued saying, "To speak out and advocate on the issues that affect us most acutely, like voting rights, education and reproductive rights, and climate justice and reforming our criminal justice system."

Legend concluded his speech with the San Francisco Symphony by saying:

"People tell me to ‘shut up and sing’ all the time. But I don’t let that deter me. I know how fortunate I am to be where I am, to have the power and the platform I have. I want to use it to make the world better."

True to his words, Legend immediately used his Instagram platform to endorse Harris following Biden's exit. He shared a lengthy message that praised the president's achievements during his reign and his bravery in stepping down from the re-election race.

"I'm so ready to work to help unite the pro-democracy coalition to reject Trump's authoritarian, oppressive Project 2025 and elect Kamala Harris as our President," Legend penned, adding:

"She's ready for this fight, and I'm excited to help her in any way I can."

Legend wasn't the only celebrity supporting Harris's presidential campaign, as The Blast shared a list of entertainment industry giants in her corner. The A-listers included singers Charli XCX, Ariana Grande, and Barbra Streisand.

Hollywood veterans like Mark Hamill and Jamie Lee Curtis also made the list alongside director Spike Lee and Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles. Although Queen Bey has not publicly endorsed Harris, she supported her campaign with permission to use her hit 2016 song, "Freedom."

Although John Legend and other big names are in Kamala Harris' corner, the question is how their support will influence the presidential race. Will voters go for the Democrat or choose Republican Donald Trump?
