Grande’s endorsement, shared on her Instagram story, urged her followers to register to vote and support Harris in the upcoming election.
Grande’s endorsement is part of a growing wave of celebrity support for Harris.

The decision by President Biden to step down and endorse Harris marks a significant shift in the Democratic primary race. Harris has already secured a substantial portion of the delegates needed for the nomination, positioning her as a strong contender for the presidency (Hindustan Times).
Former President Donald Trump, who remains a leading figure in the Republican Party, has commented on Harris’s candidacy, suggesting that she would be easier to defeat in the general election than Biden. Trump’s remarks came during an interview with CNN, where he welcomed Biden’s withdrawal from the race (Hindustan Times).
Grande’s endorsement is expected to mobilize a younger demographic, leveraging her extensive social media following to bolster Harris’s campaign. This surge in celebrity endorsements is likely to play a pivotal role in shaping the public’s perception and support of Harris as the Democratic candidate (Hindustan Times) (Entertainment Tonight).
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, the political landscape continues to evolve, with endorsements from influential figures like Ariana Grande potentially swaying voter opinions and outcomes.
