Presidential elections in the United States are approaching. This means that both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are doing their utmost to rally as many supporters as possible. As a result, many influential pop culture stars announce who they will vote for, encouraging people to register and participate in the elections. Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala Harris, and Elon Musk has backed Donald Trump. Many expected Chappell Roan to make a similar announcement.
American singer Chappell Roan decided not to support any of the presidential candidates, a decision that surprised many. As a representative of the LGBT community and a promoter of drag queen makeup, it seemed logical to some that she would support Kamala Harris, who advocates for LGBT rights. However, this did not happen, and the artist felt the need to explain her decision.
Chappell Roan on the presidential elections in the USA
On Tuesday, September 24, Chappell Roan posted a video on TikTok addressing her comments in an interview. The singer emphasized that her words were taken out of context. She urged U.S. citizens to use their critical thinking skills, stressing the importance of scrutinizing all politicians, including those from their preferred party.
The singer emphasized that she will not vote for Donald Trump because she does not want a white man to have the most influence over issues concerning LGBT rights, especially transgender people. She added that this stance does not change the fact that she will always scrutinize all politicians, as they hold significant responsibility over her life.
