Established in 2006 and fronted by Justin Vernon, the indie folk group aligns politically with Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). In 2020, Vernon supported Sanders&#8217; presidential campaign and participated in a promotional video for him. The band has also engaged in nonpartisan initiatives aimed at encouraging voter turnout and fostering dialogue across political divides. Vernon expressed his belief that society is overly divided but emphasized the importance of listening to one another and participating in the electoral process as a means of communication. Recently, rapper Megan Thee Stallion performed at Harris&#8217;s rally in Atlanta, Georgia, while global icon Beyonc\u00e9 has shown her support for Harris by allowing her music to be used during the campaign. This week, Harris will visit seven states over five days as GOP candidate Donald Trump\u2019s running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) attends various press events in those same locations.
