Vice President Harris says Americans better work … to get registered before Election Day, sharing a get-out-the-vote message during an appearance on “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.”
“Each day, we are seeing our rights and freedoms under attack, including the right of everyone to be who they are, love who they love, openly and with pride,” Harris said in the opening of the season nine finale of the Paramount+ show, which airs Friday.
“So as we fight back against these attacks, let’s all remember, no one is alone,” Harris said in a clip from the Emmy Award-winning reality TV series released Thursday.
“We are all in this together and your vote is your power,” said Harris, who became the likely Democratic presidential nominee this week after President Biden exited the race.
“So please make sure your voice is heard this November and register to vote at vote.gov,” Harris said while sitting on a couch alongside Lance Bass, Leslie Jones, Cheyenne Jackson, Michelle Visage and Jamal Sims.
Harris’s appearance on the drag performance competition comes on the heels of a letter supporting her White House bid signed by more than 1,000 LGBTQ political leaders, celebrities and social media influencers.
It’s not the first time a political figure has made a cameo on the show hosted by RuPaul Charles. Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made her “Drag Race” debut in 2018 and joined the show again in 2022. In a voting pitch similar to Harris, Pelosi told the contestants, “It’s very important for people to make their voices and their vote heard.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) appeared as a guest judge on the show in 2020.
