Pop star Usher appeared on ABC’s The View Wednesday, where he avoided co-host Joy Behar’s attempts to get him to criticize former President Donald Trump.
The discussion shifted to Trump after Usher talked about his upcoming concert film, Rendezvous in Paris, debuting this weekend, but he declined to engage in political bashing.
“So, you’re supporting Kamala Harris for president, I understand,” Behar asked.
“Yes,” he responded, prompting applause from the audience
Behar then referred to Tuesday night’s presidential debate, which Usher said he did not watch due to a performance he had at the time, according to Breitbart.
“It was like, ‘You do your research, you decide for yourselves, but I am voting for Kamala.’ In this emergency that we’re in, I always say that artists should come out and speak for Kamala against Donald Trump, because he is an existential threat to the country. What do you say to that?” Behar asked.
“I don’t get too deep into politics. I didn’t get a chance to watch the debate last night […] I think voting is an individual choice,” Usher answered. “You have to look at the reality of the country that we are and the country that we want to be and find the candidate that you feel fits the category of what you wanna be and that’s it. That’s what you vote based off of.”
Usher declined to endorse Kamala on “The View” today too despite Joy Behar trying to get him to do so. Also told people to do their own research and register to vote. Again, it feels like a big change going on here: pic.twitter.com/yYZQ1wM7cb
