Musical siblings Billie Eilish and Finneas have publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in her 2024 presidential campaign.
On Tuesday, September 17, which coincides with National Voter Registration Day, the musicians released a video on Instagram announcing their support for Harris in the upcoming election. Eilish began the video by stating:
“We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet, and our democracy.”
Fans took to the comments to express their thoughts on Eilish and Finneas sharing their political stance.
“Another meaningful endorsement,”an X user commented.
Many social media users praised the duo’s decision to leverage their platform to advocate for their chosen candidate.
“The choice has never been clearer. Thank you. Now let’s sit back and watch someone blow a gasket,”a fan on X remarked.
“Excited to see everyone getting involved! Harris-Walz is a fantastic choice for our future. Let’s make our voices heard,”another user on X stated.
“Thank you for doing your part to get the vote out! We are fighting for our literal lives this November,”another X user added.
However, some netizens expressed skepticism regarding Billie Eilish and Finneas’s message, alleging that the siblings were merely reciting a script.
“Did Kamala HQ give you this script?,”an X user questioned.
“She says she’s voting for Harris/Walz because they are fighting to save our democracy, just shows they’re reading a script and haven’t actually got a clue about anything given how Kamala got into the race in the first place,”another user remarked on X.
