With the election just days away, Billie Eilish took a moment during her concert in Atlanta to rally her fans in support of Vice President Kamala Harris. On November 2, 2024, at the State Farm Arena, Eilish emphasized the critical nature of the upcoming election in a state known for its political influence.
During her performance, Eilish paused to address the crowd, saying, “Times are really scary, and a lot is at stake. I know that if you’re in this room and you support me, you support women. I hope that you will vote for Kamala Harris.” Her heartfelt appeal resonated with fans and was later shared in a video on the Democratic Party’s official TikTok account, generating a positive response from those in attendance.
The Grammy-winning artist has been a vocal supporter of Harris in the past. On National Voter Registration Day in September, Eilish and her brother, Finneas, released a video explaining their endorsement of Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz. “We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet, and our democracy,” she stated, urging her fans to “vote like your life depends on it because it does.”
Eilish’s message comes at a pivotal moment, with election polls indicating a tightly contested race. Georgia, a key swing state, is one of the focal points for both Harris and former President Donald Trump as they campaign vigorously for voter support. Current polling shows Trump leading Harris by just one percentage point in the state. However, analysts like Nate Cohn from The New York Times caution that these polls may not fully reflect the competitive dynamics of the race.
