Singer Lizzo joined Vice President Kamala Harris at an early voting event in Detroit, Michigan, on Saturday, urging voters to cast their ballots early in support of the Democratic presidential nominee. The Detroit native expressed pride in her city while pushing back against recent criticism from Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“All the best things were made in Detroit: Coney dogs, Faygo, and Lizzo,” the singer quipped, highlighting the city’s influence on the auto and music industries. “Put some respect on Detroit’s name,” she added, in a direct response to Trump’s remarks.
Trump, during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, had disparaged the city, saying, “The whole country will be like Detroit if she’s your president.”
“If America is ready for its first woman president, I only have one thing to say: It’s about damn time!” she declared, referencing her hit song.
Lizzo also highlighted the importance of early voting, stating, “If your vote didn’t matter, then voter suppression wouldn’t exist.” She called Michigan “the swing state of all swing states” and stressed the power of early voting, calling it “a power move.”
Kamala Harris, wearing a “Detroit vs. Everybody” T-shirt, echoed Lizzo’s sentiments, celebrating Detroit’s contributions to the nation. “Like the people of Detroit, we have grit, we have excellence, we have history,” Harris told the crowd. She urged voters to take advantage of early voting: “We are going to break some records here in Detroit today.”
Harris also took aim at Trump’s campaign, questioning his stability: “Somebody just needs to watch his rallies if you’re not really sure how to vote,” she said. She stressed the importance of maximising early voter turnout, stating, “We’re not going to get these 17 days back. On Election Day, we don’t want to have any regrets.”
The Republican National Committee responded, with Chairman Michael Whatley accusing Harris of using celebrity endorsements to distract from the Trump administration’s economic record, claiming, “Michiganders were feeling good under President Trump – real wages were higher, prices were lower, and everyone was better off.”
Despite these criticisms, attendees expressed strong support for Harris. Many cited women’s rights as a key issue and viewed Harris as the better alternative.
Harris is set to continue her campaign efforts with a rally in Atlanta, where she will be joined by another major artist, Usher, as Democrats aim to boost early voting turnout in crucial swing states.
