Let’s be real—when Hollywood stars and top-selling musicians get involved in politics, it’s not a news headline, it’s a spectacle. The 2024 U.S. presidential election has been one for the books, and Kamala Harris’s candidacy has had a star-studded lineup of endorsements. From viral internet moments to heart-wrenching speeches, celebrities have made her bid a moment on pop culture. Here is a countdown of the most significant names standing behind her, from the surprising to the iconic.
15. Insane Clown Posse
Indeed, that Insane Clown Posse. Violent J gave his backing to Harris during a comedy sketch on The Daily Show. His rationale? She’s a Democrat, he doesn’t like Trump’s wall, and he supports women’s rights—saying women. It was half-comedy, half-truly endorsing.
14. David Duchovny
The X-Files and Californication star dedicated an entire episode of his Fail Better podcast to discuss why Harris was his choice. Generally silent on politics, Duchovny said he couldn’t stay mum this year on the stakes, calling Trump “incapable of learning” and “an infant.”
13. Marc Anthony
In a Harris-Walz campaign ad, Marc Anthony reminded voters of Trump’s reaction to Hurricane Maria, addressing the Puerto Rican community directly. “I remember what he did and said about Puerto Rico, about our people,” he narrated, calling for change at the polls.
12. Charli XCX
She can’t vote in the U.S., but Charli XCX did generate controversy with her “Kamala IS brat” tweet—mixing politics and internet meme culture. She later clarified that it was about being on the right side of women’s rights and democracy.
11. Billy Eichner & Will Ferrell
The comedy partners revived Billy on the Street for a “Loud White Men for Kamala” episode, canvassing New Yorkers to urge voting and volunteering. Their trademark comedy brought the campaign some viral-friendly vitality.

7. LeBron James
LeBron posted a montage of Trump’s rhetoric and made it clear as day: for his family and kids’ sake, his vote was going to Harris. His caption? “VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!”
