Celebrities Mobilize Youth Vote for 2024 Election

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, celebrities are actively engaging in efforts to boost voter participation. Rihanna humorously highlighted her commitment to voting despite not being able to cast a ballot herself, igniting discussions on civic engagement and reproductive rights, while also facing criticism for her political views. Paul Rudd was seen at a polling station in Pennsylvania, distributing water to voters and emphasizing the importance of youth participation in the election. Numerous celebrities, including Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris during her final rally, while others, like Caitlyn Jenner, shared their support for Donald Trump. The Harris campaign also leveraged celebrity influence to connect with college students waiting in long lines to vote, using FaceTime to engage them and motivate their participation. Events at campuses, like CSUN's Big Party, further emphasized the importance of voter registration and awareness of ballot propositions among students.
