From Lady Gaga to Lil Pump, these are the celebrities who are supporting Trump and Biden in the US election

More celebrities than ever have revealed who they’re voting for

After years of discussion and debate, the 2020 US presidential election finally takes place next Tuesday (3 November), with either Donald Trump or Joe Biden set to become the next president.

For months, celebrities have been using their social media platforms to encouraged their followers to get out and vote.

In this most crucial of election years, we’ve witnessed a noticeable increase in the number of high-profile figures who have not only told fans to vote, but also revealed who they will be personally voting for.

While most celebrities have shown their support for Biden, with the likes of Taylor Swift, Brad Pitt and Cardi B all backing the Democratic nominee, Trump also has a base of loyal celebrity supporters.

Here are some of the biggest names to have shown support for Biden and Trump this election year...

Lady Gaga

While Lady Gaga’s political stance – in particular her views on LGBTQ+ rights – have always seemed pretty clear, the “Born This Way” singer has really ramped up her activism in the week before the election. On 30 October, Gaga released a pro-voting PSA in which she donned a number of her most iconic costumes, telling viewers: “Let’s be real, you know who I voted for.” She then appeared on the campaign trail for Biden and Harris, causing the Trump campaign to brand her an “anti-fracking activist”.
