Michelle Obama launched a “Party at the Polls” initiative enlisting famous drag queens and rappers like Cardi B (famous for her explicit lyrics and rambunctious personality) in the hopes that it will tip the scales in Harris’s odds in swing states where she’s struggling.
Breitbart News reports:
Michelle Obama is promising men in dresses and “Wet Ass Pussy” as part of an initiative called “Party at the Polls” — a series of live performances that are set to take place in swing states from now until election day. The goal? To motivate Democrats to cast their vote for Kamala Harris in places where she is losing ground to former President Donald Trump.
In Arizona, where Trump maintains a slight lead over Harris, Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote organization will hold a “Get Out The Vote” drag show in Phoenix on October 18. In Nevada, another show will take place October 29 featuring the performer known as Plasma from RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Democrats have long relied on celebrity endorsements and involvement during election cycles. Taylor Swift officially endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket in an Instagram post, taking a swipe at J.D. Vance and his comments about “childless cat ladies” in her caption. But liberals may be overestimating the efficacy of enlisting celebrities, as polls showed Taylor Swift’s endorsement had a slightly negative impact on Harris’s numbers, with most voters indicating her endorsement didn’t affect their decision, but more voters saying they were less inclined to vote for Harris following her endorsement than the other way around.
This strategy also seems to cater to voters that Harris likely already has in the bag, while neglecting the undecided voters and moderates that Harris desperately needs to make up ground with.
Breitbart News continues:
Recent polling shows Trump and Harris tied in blue Nevada, which went for Joe Biden four years ago. Trump has promised no taxes on tips, which Kamala Harris then stole as her own even though as vice president, she cast the deciding vote in the Senate allowing the federal government to track gratuity income for the purpose of taxation.
When We All Vote is Michelle Obama’s nominally non-partisan voter registration initiative. But the project, which has also aggressively pushed voting by mail, is backed by a slew of left-wing Hollywood and sports celebrities whose past public statements have been anything but non-partisan.
