Newsweek has contacted representatives for Legend, Pink, and Morris. John Legend, 45, spoke to CBS Mornings on Wednesday, claiming he’s endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election because he’s seen how “smart and charismatic and empathetic” Harris is. “She is eminently qualified to be president. And then she also has the right character traits I think to be a great president, which means she cares about people’s lives, wants government to work for people and improve their lives,” Legend told anchor Tony Dokoupil.
“I don’t wanna sit out. I wanna make sure that my voice is heard, but also that I lift up other voices and make sure they’re heard too,” the All Of Me singer added. Legend headlined a show for Illinois Governor JB Pritzker in Chicago this week featuring a surprise appearance from rapper Common, who performed at the DNC on Tuesday.
