Cardi B & GloRilla to Appear at Kamala Harris’ Milwaukee Rally

It’s “TGIF” indeed for Vice President Kamala Harris‘ rally and concert set for this Friday (Nov. 1). The Harris-Walz campaign announced on Thursday (Oct. 31) that rappers Cardi B and GloRilla will be on hand to support the Democratic ticket during the When We Vote We Win event in Milwaukee, Wisc.

The Grammy-winning rapper is set to speak during the event, while the “Yeah Glo!” artist will perform. Also set to take the stage for performances are The Isley Brothers, Flo Milli, MC Lyte and DJ Gemini Gilly. This won’t be the first time that Cardi and Glo will share the stage. In 2022, the two artists delivered the first television performance of their Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit collab “Tomorrow 2” at the American Music Awards.

Friday’s rally is part of a series of events the Harris-Walz campaign is holding around the country to help mobilize voters to register to vote and cast their ballots for the Nov. 5 presidential election. Wednesday’s event in Madison, Wisc., featured Gracie Abrams, Mumford & Sons, Remi Wolfe, as well as The National’s Aaron Dessner and Matt Berninger. Beyoncé and Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland made headlines at the Houston rally on Oct. 25, with the pop superstar giving her full support to Harris in a passionate speech as she introduced the vice president.

Cardi B has long supported the sitting VP’s run for the 2024 presidential election. On June 30, she suggested that President Joe Biden should drop out of the race and let his VP run instead — which he did on July 21. Since Harris officially threw her hat in the ring, the rapper has continued to support the former senator, and has also defended the politician from sexist attacks. “Listen, if you don’t like her as a politician, that’s you. But if you disrespect her because she’s a woman? It’s very disgusting,” Cardi said during an X Spaces in late July.

GloRilla recently shared her support for the VP in a video posted to her social media, offering four reasons why she believes the Democratic ticket should earn people’s votes. Among them were “a woman’s right to choose and “protect the LGBTQIA+ community.”

Those interested in attending Friday’s When We Vote We Win rally in Milwaukee can visit the Harris-Walz campaign’s RSVP page and text “go” to 30330 for updates. The time and exact location for the event has not yet been announced.

Gracie Abrams Endorses ‘Amazing, Compassionate & Brilliant’ Kamala Harris, Performs at Wisconsin Rally

When Gracie Abrams took the stage at a Kamala Harris rally at Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin, on Wednesday night (Oct. 30), the 25-year-old singer/songwriter urged young voters to support the Harris/Walz campaign so there’s still a democracy left to “fix it when it is our turn.”

“I know everybody who has been onstage tonight and will be onstage tonight wouldn’t be anywhere else for anyone else except … for the next president of the United States: the amazing, compassionate and brilliant Kamala Harris,” Abrams said. “For many of us here onstage and in this crowd tonight, this is either the first or second time that we’ve had the privilege of voting in a presidential election. As we know, we’ve inherited a world that is struggling and it’s easy to feel disconnected and disillusioned. Between the advent of social media in our childhoods and COVID and relentlessly targeted disinformation, we’ve been through some things. It’s easy to be discouraged, but we know better. We know that unless we vote and keep our democracy intact, there is nothing we will be able to do to fix it when it is our turn.”

Abrams wrapped her speech by declaring of Harris: “She is the right leader at a very tricky time and we could not be luckier.”

In addition to her speech, Abrams and her band — who are currently opening up for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour on its final North American leg — also performed “I Love You, I’m Sorry” (which just peaked in the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 this month) and “Free Now”; both are from her most recent album, The Secret of Us, which debuted at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart over the summer.

Mumford & Sons also performed at the rally, playing “Little Lion Man,” “Awake My Soul” and “I Will Wait” — their highest-charting hit, peaking at No. 12 on the Hot 100 in 2013. In 2021, the group’s guitarist-banjo player Winston Marshall left the band after a controversial social media post calling right-wing provocateur Andy Ngo a “brave man” for his book Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy.

Remi Wolf hit the stage too, performing “Cinderella” and saying in a speech that America should feel like “a place where we feel safe, accepted and free. That is why I’m here today to support our future president, Kamala Harris, in her efforts to create this safe space for us again. She understands that the right to make decisions about our own bodies is fundamental. She’s committed to tackling big issues like climate change and, like me, she’s a girl from the Bay Area who loves to laugh and have fun.”

Also at the music-heavy rally, Aaron Dessner and Matt Berninger from The National dedicated their song “I Need a Girl” to Harris.

Watch Timothée Chalamet Sing ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ in New Bob Dylan Biopic Teaser

Timothée Chalamet is channeling Bob Dylan in the upcoming biopic about the legendary singer-songwriter, and in a new teaser for the film released on Tuesday (Oct. 29), the actor is seen performing Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues.”

See latest videos, charts and news

In the nearly two-minute long clip, Chalamet is heard singing the politically driven 1965 hit over an old-school film vignette featuring scenes from the upcoming film. Additionally, Chalamet recreates portions of the “Subterranean Homesick Blues” music video, in which he holds up cue cards with lyrics on them.

Earlier this year, fans first spotted Chalamet filming as Dylan in New York. Director James Mangold previously confirmed that the actor would do his own singing for the flick, which hits theaters this December. “It’s such an amazing time in American culture,” the director noted at the time. “The story of a young, 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with, like, $2 in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years — first being embraced into the family of folk music in New York and then, of course, kind of outrunning them at a certain point as his star rises so beyond belief.” To prepare, the Wonka star says he sifted through 12 hours’ worth of unreleased Dylan songs, sent to him by the musician’s longtime manager and A Complete Unknown producer Jeff Rosen.

Trending on Billboard

Also starring Boyd Holbrook, Dan Fogler, Norbert Leo Butz and Scoot McNairy, the biographical drama was inspired by Elijah Wald’s 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric. Mangold revealed last year that the “Blowin’ in the Wind” artist personally gave feedback on the script.
