Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo showed their support for Vice President Kamala Harris at her first campaign rally in Atlanta, GA as the expected Democratic candidate for the upcoming presidential election.
Before Harris gave a speech in the battleground state, Megan Thee Stallion kicked things off with a medley of hits from her catalog. “Make some noise for Ms. Harris, our future president… Let’s get this done Atlanta,” she told the crowd. “We about to make history with the first female president, the first black female president. Let’s get this done hotties. Hotties for Harris!”

Her performance included renditions of “Girls in the Hood,” her current viral hit “Mamushi,” “Body” and “Savage.” “If you love your body let me hear you make some noise,” said Megan, flanked by backup dancers wearing blue outfits. “And if you wanna keep loving your bodies, ladies let me hear you make some noise.”
Quavo was also on hand to support Harris in her quest to win the presidency. In 2022, Quavo launched the Rocket Foundation after his nephew and Migos group member Takeoff was shot and killed that same year. He’s worked closely with Harris to tackle the issue of gun violence, and last September, Quavo went to the White House to discuss the methods and approaches that must be taken to decrease gun violence and protect communities.

“One of the issues I care about is resolving the gun violence issue,” Quavo told the crowd in Atlanta. “And you can’t understand the struggles of gun violence if you’re not in the field or in the heart of it. So one thing I learned about working with Vice President Harris is she always stands on business. From inviting me to the White House last year to discuss these solutions to passing the biggest gun safety laws today. So it’s only right in the birthplace of the culture, it’s also the same place that launched the first African-American woman to run for president. yeah, we’re changing the culture again. So if you never voted before, make sure you get out and vote right now ’cause it’s the real one. And in the words of my brother Takeoff, let me get a ‘Kamala.’”
After an introduction from Tyler Greene, Harris took the podium to express her mission to win the presidential election and unite the country. She had a message specifically for her potential opponent, Donald Trump, who has been cagey about debating Harris in an official capacity. “Well Donald, I do hope you’ll reconsider to [meeting] me on the debate stage, because as the saying goes, if you’ve got something to say, say it to my face.”

She ended on a hopeful and inspiring note. “Georgia, I ask you, are you ready to get to work?” she said. “Do we believe in freedom? Do we believe in opportunity? Do we believe in the promise of America? And are we ready to fight for it? And when we fight, we win.”
