How celebrities are voting in the 2020 US elections

Another historic election is set to unfold in the United States, as Republican incumbents President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence contend for another 4 years in office against Democratic presidential bet Joe Biden and his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris.

Polls are set to open on Tuesday, November 3 (Wednesday, November 4, Manila time), but almost 100 million Americans have already cast their ballots through early in-person and mail-in voting.

Among them are many high-profile celebrities, who have used their platforms to promote voting, and throw their support behind their chosen candidates.

Pop superstars Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, and Lizzo all showed her support for the Democratic ticket with posts on social media encouraging their followers to vote.
