Music icon John Legend is known for being politically active and this election season, he is supporting Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as she fights her way through a crowded primary field.
On Wednesday, the singer appeared in South Carolina where he spoke in support of the Massachusetts lawmaker.
Speaking to a crowd in Orangeburg, Legend said, “I’m happy to report that we received our mail-in ballots back home in Los Angeles. The ballots are due in March but I’m proud to say that I’ve already marked my choice for the presidential nominee from the Democratic Party. I put it in pen because I made my decision. I’m not changing my mind.”
He continued, “I believe that Elizabeth Warren should be the next President of the United States of America.”
Warren also changed up her usual routine — staying and taking photos with everybody at the rally — and instead told the crowd “instead of a selfie line today, we’re going to hear John Legend perform.”
Legend has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, tweeting in late 2019, “The President is a cancer and needs to be removed from office as soon as possible.”
Legend is hardly the first celebrity to get political this season, Cher
