STORYLINE:
Kamala Harris has Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé. Donald Trump has Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan.

As the 2024 campaign whirls into its final week, Democrats are noticeably leaning on their star-power advantage, calling on a diverse range of celebrities to endorse Harris, invigorate audiences and, they hope, spur people to the ballot box.

Democrats long have long enjoyed a celebrity advantage and used it to close out presidential campaigns when attention and energy are critical. That upper hand has grown during Trump’s rise, a period that saw scores of celebrities, even apolitical stars, break their silence and speak out against the Republican leader.

The advantage often means raucous, fiery events in the closing days of a race, but history – named Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign — highlights how the energy at those events can sometimes paper over broader issues with a candidate.

“I’m here to see Harris and Walz do their thing” she said.
