Biden loses famous allies while Trump gets a surprising endorsement
The battle for the White House is on, and celebrities are also being courted. Each candidate tries to attract big names to their cause.
Trump gained surprising support in May 2024.
The singer and actress Amber Rose spoke briefly and explicitly about the direction of her vote through Instagram.
An image of Amber Rose with Donald Trump and his wife Melania along with a short text was enough: "Trump 2024".
Her choice was surprising because Amber Rose has been known as a feminist activist who is biracial. Not exactly Trump's target audience...
Rose immediately got a lot of criticism from her followers, who could not understand why she would vote for someone like Trump. But the publication 'Marca' dug up a 2023 episode of the reality show 'Love & Hip Hop' in which Amber Rose reconciled her feminism with her support for Trump.
As she said in the show, "I'll ALWAYS put women first. Y'all want biological men in women's sports." Amber Rose was signaling that she wanted to protect women in sports from transgender women, who in her eyes are men. Furthermore, she argued, "Trump supports the most reasonable compromise on abortion."
In addition, the biracial star spoke to her African American companions about Joe Biden and race. "Yall think Biden cares about black ppl???" she yelled, "Sad. Do ur research. I did... Stop being brainwashed cuz WE'RE ppl of color. Make your own decisions."
While Trump got a celebrity endorsement, Joe Biden has lost some support among the stars. This is especially due to his stance on distant wars.
As reported by media such as Rolling Stone and The Guardian, Cardi B announced that she was not going to vote again for Joe Biden (whom she supported in the past). She said he was spending too much on wars and that the money should be dedicated to schools or public libraries.
Forbes added Dwayne Johnson to the list of celebrities who doubt or directly abandon Biden's team. The Rock revealed that his support for Biden had caused division and he doesn't like that.
The question of Taylor Swift's loyalty remains. Trump and her followers think she has Democratic affinities and Biden would be delighted with the support of such a big star. However, for now, she remains silent.
And then there's this guest on the red carpet at the premiere of 'Marcello Mio' at the Cannes Film Festival in France. She wore a MAGA hat, to the enjoyment of photographers. But how famous is she? The Getty photo agency itself cannot specify her name, so we will define her as an anonymous Trump admirer who got her minute of fame.
