In a bid to convince people to vote for Kamala Harris, her campaign is bringing out the far-left “star power.”

From The Hill: Kamala Harris’s campaign is saying “Yeah!” to a double dose of star power, with Usher and Lizzo appearing in back-to-back swing state events in support of the vice president’s White House bid.

“Good as Hell” singer Lizzo will appear alongside the presidential hopeful at a campaign event in Detroit on Saturday, ITK has confirmed. The news was first reported by CNN.

Earlier this week, Lizzo, who was born in Detroit, revealed that she voted early for Harris.

“There’s so many important issues on the ballot this year,” the 36-year-old performer said, encouraging attendees at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women summit to “please vote.”

After the voter mobilization push with Lizzo, Harris will head to Atlanta for a rally with Usher in battleground state Georgia.

Usher, whose full name is Usher Raymond IV, is a singer, dancer and actor

In an appearance on “The View” last month, co-host Joy Behar told Usher that artists need to get out and speak for Harris, and claimed Trump is “an existential threat to the country.”

He dodged, saying he tries not to get too deep into politics. However, now he’s scheduled to join Harris at a campaign rally.

One social media user “translated” the announcement to read: “Vice President Harris to enlist musician Usher to throw a free concert in Atlanta, where she’ll take the stage and talk for a few minutes. The Democrats and the media will then spin the attendance dishonestly.”

And, here’s Lizzo:

Lizzo announced this week that she has already voted for Harris.

In March, it was announced that Lizzo “who is accused of sexual harassment by several of her backup dancers, was the entertainment for the Biden, Obama, Clinton mega fundraiser.”
