In an election that, at least according to the pre-voting polls, appears to be the tightest in modern American history, seemingly every semi-famous to famous person is trying to make a small dent of difference.
Celebrities came out of the woodwork in the final weeks of the campaign to overwhelmingly endorse Kamala Harris; meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes’s mother cheered on Donald Trump at the Kansas City Chiefs’ election-eve football game. Celebrity endorsements are, as I wrote over the weekend, a double-edged sword for Democrats, projecting at turns strength and advantage, at others elitism, desperation and ominously high levels of corniness and self-importance. Especially when the endorsements involve one celebrity advocacy avenue that falls mostly on the negative side: celebrity election songs.
