12 november 2024 в 18:13
The 2024 US presidential election ended with Donald Trump winning a second victory, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite many celebrities supporting the Democratic candidate, Harris still lost in both the electoral college and the popular vote. Now there are rumors that Harris paid for celebrity endorsements. The Vice President has not yet commented on this accusation, but one celebrity has responded to the report.
Find out if Harris or Trump paid for celebrity endorsements.
The majority of Hollywood supported Harris during her campaign. Among the most famous names were Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Eminem, Jennifer Lopez, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jennifer Aniston.
After the announcement of the results of the 2024 election, rumors spread about alleged payments between Harris' campaign and the celebrities who supported her. According to The Washington Examiner, a source claimed that Harris' team spent a «six-figure sum on creating a set for Harris' appearance on the popular podcast 'Call Her Daddy' with host Alex Cooper».
The media also claimed that Harris' team paid Oprah Winfrey’s company Harpo Productions $ 1 million.
A representative from Harpo Productions denied the report in a statement obtained by Variety, saying, «The campaign paid for the production expenses of the 'Unite for America' event that took place on September 19 outside Detroit, Michigan. Oprah Winfrey did not receive any personal fee at any point during the campaign, nor did Harpo».
Additionally, Oprah was asked about the reports and stated that she «never received anything», - calling the rumors «false», - according to a video published by TMZ.
A political news account X called «Breaking911» claimed that Harris paid $ 20 million for celebrity endorsements.
However, this claim was not confirmed, and Winfrey denied the rumor.
It is unclear whether Trump paid any celebrities who supported him. Since Winfrey denied receiving payment from Harris' campaign, it is also unlikely that Trump paid anyone.
It is unclear whether public figures receive any fees for supporting a politician. However, social media influencers have been involved in recent elections, and they are not required to disclose their income to the public. According to CNN, content creators do not need to «disclose whether they were paid for supporting a candidate or discussing a political issue on their page»
