Stevie Wonder is the star of a new ad for Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign in which he says his longtime friend “will be the next president.”
“I was excited about Kamala years before people knew who she was. I’m very happy for the future. I’m very happy because I know and believe that she will be the next President of these United States,” Stevie Wonder says in the 90-second video. “Truthfully — not to make you guys feel bad — but it takes a woman. But not just any woman, a wonderful woman. She has done the work consistently. She has had humility and compassion consistently.”
He went on to say in the video, “We need to really fix what’s going on here,” while gesturing to his heart.
Trump Blasts Hollywood Endorsements
Celebrity endorsements is a long-running tradition in presidential politics – one that Democrats generally win. This year in particular the Dems are getting some screeching attacks on the subject from her opponent Donald Trump.
“Patriot, Comrade Kamala is putting together a RADICAL LEFT DREAM TEAM. She’s got HOLLYWOOD HACKS like Oprah Winfrey and Jamie Lee Curtis raising MILLIONS for her campaign,” Trump wrote in a fundraising email after Harris did an interview with Oprah Winfrey in mid-September.
