LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kamala Harris delivered a crucial message regarding the election in the 'RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars' season 9 finale. The vice president reminded viewers to register to vote at the beginning of the highly anticipated season finale of the popular Paramount+ show.

The presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee launched her own presidential campaign this week to be the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 election.



 

Kamala Harris was joined by familiar faces in Drag Race community

Kamala Harris, 59, was joined in the clip by a few well-known members of the Drag Race community, including judge Michelle Visage, choreographer Jamal Sims, and previous guest judges Lance Bass, Leslie Jones, and Cheyenne Jackson.

The clip was released on Thursday, July 25, in advance of the finale's airing on Friday, July 26.

All had gathered in the show's "Werk Room" for what Visage calls "an extra-special Drag Race viewing party."

Kamala Harris addresses recent passing of anti-drag legislation in multiple states

The Democratic forerunner appeared to be addressing the recent passage of anti-drag laws in several states while addressing the audience. 

"Each day we are seeing our rights and freedoms under attack, including the right of everyone to be who they are, love who they love openly and with pride," Harris said per People Magazine.

"Your vote is your power," she added. "So please make sure your voice is heard this November and register to vote at vote.gov."

As the video came to a close, Jackson uttered a quote from the drag competition, "Can I get an amen?!" and Jones modified host RuPaul's comment, "You betta vote." The cameo was filmed before Harris's announcement this week, but was particularly fitting for season 9 of the show.

Kamala Harris has long been an advocate for human and civil rights

The 59-year-old has a long history of supporting marriage equality as well as civil and human rights.

Along with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, Harris threw a Pride Month reception last month. 'Drag Race' season 16 winner Nymhpia Wind, 'All Stars' queens Vanessa Vanjie Mateo and Plastique Tiara, and Billy Porter were among the guests.
