Rock The Vote Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

The first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden descended into chaos within moments, with both candidates yelling over each other, and at times, moderator Chris Wallace. After the umpteenth instance of Trump interrupting him, Biden finally snapped. “Would you shut up, man?” Biden said, exhaustedly, as he tried to get his point across while talking about Amy Coney Barrett‘s nomination to the Supreme Court.

There’s just a little over a month left until the United States elects its next president: Democrat Joe Biden, or incumbent Republican Donald Trump. Before Election Day, November 3, the candidates are expected to face off in three presidential debates, the first of which is tonight, September 29. After months of sparring, this is the first time that Biden and Trump will meet face to face on the campaign trail, and all bets are off.

Why should you vote for Joe Biden instead of Donald Trump on November 3? Let us start to count the reasons.

November 3 is now just weeks away, and many celebrities are using their platforms to encourage their fans to not only register to vote, but actually vote in the 2020 presidential election. Stars like Taylor Swift, Halsey, and Kerry Washington took to social media on September 22, National Voter Registration Day, to make sure their fans’ voices are heard when it comes to selecting the United States’ next president: Joe Biden or Donald Trump. Here’s what they had to say.

It’s always cute when partners lend stuff to their baes. Y’know, things like t-shirts, jackets, or — in the case of Dylan Meyer and Kristen Stewart — Instagram accounts. “I turned the mic over to Kristen  because she had some things to say and doesn’t have her own account,” Dylan wrote on Sept. 22 while sharing a picture of Kristen, 30, in a shirt that read “VOTE.”

It’s National Voter Registration Day, but Gabrielle Union is focusing on what comes next. The actress, 47, starred in a handy dandy how-to video on Facebook Watch during their Vote-A-Thon 2020 event, demonstrating to her fans how to vote by mail in the November 3 presidential election. She cleverly treated it like an unboxing video to draw viewers in.

Are you registered to vote? With less than two months until the 2020 presidential election, it’s imperative that we all exercise our constitutional right to vote and cast a ballot on November 3. After a disastrously low number of millennials turned out to the polls during the 2016 election (just 50% of people aged 18-29), the need for the young vote is more vital than ever in 2020. Don’t like who’s in office federally, statewide, or locally? This is your opportunity to help change that.

Jennifer Lopez is heading to the polls on Election Day and wants you right there with her. The Hustlers star, 50, took to Instagram Live with Michelle Obama on National Voter Registration Day to explain why she feels it’s so important to vote — especially in 2020. Jennifer pleaded with the mothers of the United States to do right by their children by casting their ballots on November 3, doing their part to ensure a bright future for their little ones.

As Ruth Bader Ginsburg lay dying from pancreatic cancer, she must have been reflecting very seriously on all that she had accomplished. How she fought for equal rights for women in all aspects of their lives. The right to decide whether or not to bear a child. The right to get a bank loan without their husband’s permission. The right to keep their jobs even when they became pregnant.

In the midst of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, when all industries are struggling, the Broadway community has been hit one of the hardest, with the doors of their shows shuttering with no opening in site. Broadway mainstay Orfeh, who has performed as Paulette in Legally Blonde and, most recently, as Kit De Luca in Pretty Woman The Musical, revealed that with the current circumstances, it is more important than ever for all Americans to exercise their right to vote.

Whether you’re worried about the risk of COVID-19 that comes with visiting a crowded polling station, or are physically unable to make the trip, voting by mail is a safe option. Unfortunately, some politicians like President Donald Trump have promoted a dangerous lie, that supposedly rampant mail-in voting fraud will affect the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Here’s everything you need to know about mail-in voting, and how you can do it before election day, November 3:

Dare Ogunbowale wants to see you at the polls (or the mailbox) on November 3. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back, 26, joined LeBron James‘ More Than A Vote initiative in June 2020, four months ahead of the 2020 general election, because he wanted his fans to know: registering to vote, and actually voting, is a “right and an obligation” as an American citizen. Dare told HollywoodLife in an EXCLUSIVE interview that individuals who believe their votes don’t count are mistaken.

Mariah Carey is ready to rock the vote and wants her fans to head to the polls this November! The stunning “We Belong Together” singer, 50, took to her TikTok account on September 7 for a vital and fun PSA. In the clip, Mariah and her look-a-like nine-year-old daughter, Monroe, did a choreographed dance to Mariah’s newly released track featuring Lauryn Hill, “Save The Day.” Mariah and Monroe looked as though they were serenading fans on stage, as a fan blew the divas’ hair during the video.

Four nights of praise for President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention concluded with a speech from eldest daughter Ivanka Trump August 27. Ivanka, 38, told a massive, maskless crowd on the White House lawn that she saw her father as so much more than a commander-in-chief.

Viewers at home waited with bated breath when First Lady Melania Trump began her speech at the 2020 Republican National Convention. Would this be a repeat of her 2016 address… or the one that Michelle Obama gave last week? Perhaps to the disappointment of some, it was clear that Trump didn’t crib this one. Instead, she gave a 45-minute address about the accomplishments her husband, Donald Trump, has supposedly achieved in his first term as president.

Seconds after former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Joe Biden of nepotism, the president’s youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention.

Four days after Joe Biden accepted the Democratic nomination for president in the 2020 race, the Republican party will make the case for President Donald Trump. The Republican National Convention begins on Monday, August 24, ending on Thursday, August 27 with their party nomination. Before that, though, comes three days of speeches from Trump’s closest allies in the Republican party, along with members of his family, like Melania and Ivanka Trump.

Kellyanne Conway‘s 15-year-old daughter Claudia Conway has become a social media sensation in recent months after garnering major attention after her funny, anti-Donald Trump videos went viral on TikTok. The teen has since taken to Twitter to express her political views, including shortly after her mother Kellyanne announced she was stepping down from her role as counselor to President Trump to focus on her family.

After four days of praise from the most prominent Democrats in the United States, and a slew of celebrities, Joe Biden officially accepted the party’s nomination for president “with great honor and humility.” Biden, 77, spoke to the country from his home state of Delaware, pledging to voters that he’ll undo the harm he believes Donald Trump has done to the United States.

Meghan Markle, 39, is pleading with women to not sit on the sidelines but to make their voices heard and vote in the general election on Nov. 3.

John Legend didn’t mince words while comparing our current president to his predecessor. The “Wild” singer, 41, like many, was enthralled by former President Barack Obama‘s powerful speech on the the third night of the Democratic National Convention, during which he lambasted President Donald Trump. “Wow. It will always be stunning that America went from Barack Obama to the weak, sorry excuse for a President we have now,” John tweeted on August 19 as Obama was still speaking.

Meena Harris, 35, appeared alongside her mom, Maya Harris, and step-cousin Ella Emhoff, in a joyous video to introduce Aunt Kamala Harris as the Democratic vice presidential nominee at the Democratic National Convention. She’s much more than Kamala’s niece, though. Here’s what else you need to know about the activist and children’s book author:

Tonight, Senator Kamala Harris made history. The California Democrat just became the first woman of color, as well as the first person of South Asian descent, to be nominated for Vice President on a major US political party’s national ticket.

Former President Barack Obama worked with his “brother” Joe Biden for eight years in the White House, and he’s determined to get him four more. Obama, 59, closed out the third night of the Democratic National Convention on August 19 with a passionate speech targeting his successor, Donald Trump and his “failures” during his presidency. Trump, according to Obama, is using the presidency to “get the attention that he craves,” and cannot succeed in a second term.

Night two of the Democratic National Convention closed with an uplifting performance from John Legend, who treated audiences to his new song, “Never Break.” Sitting behind a grand piano in an empty auditorium, John, 41, belted his ballad, slowly joined by a chorus of gorgeous singers.

The Democratic National Convention went digital this year, and while the grandeur of the traditional, in-person event will be missed, it’s now easier than ever to watch at home. In fact, you don’t even have to leave HollywoodLife (or your couch) to tune in to all of the speeches and performances happening from August 17 to August 20.

Cecile Richards, the co-founder of Supermajority, and eleven other female leaders, knew long before the historic announcement of Kamala Harris that sexist coverage of Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential choice was coming.

Four years after declaring that, “when they go low, we go high,” former First Lady Michelle Obama returned to the Democratic National Convention with another powerful speech. Obama, 56, stumped for friend Joe Biden on the first day of the DNC, August 17, telling voters the reasons why they should choose this “profoundly decent man” on November 3 — and why “going high” is still the correct thing to do.

Days after former Vice President Joe Biden announced that he’s selected Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate in the 2020 presidential election, they’re going to make it official. The Democratic National Convention begins on Monday, August 17, ending on Thursday, August 20 with their party nomination. Before that, though, comes three days of speeches from prominent politicians and politically active celebrities, as well as performances from artists like Billie Eilish and John Legend.

Taylor Swift, 30, has once again put President Donald Trump, 74, on blast. “Trump’s calculated dismantling of USPS proves one thing clearly: He is WELL AWARE that we do not want him as our president,” the Folklore singer posted to Twitter on Saturday, Aug. 15. “He’s chosen to blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans’ lives at risk in an effort to hold on to power,” she added, continuing her message in a second post.
