00:00♪ Say can you see ♪
00:05Gaga, you'll recall, performed the national anthem
00:07at the inauguration of President Biden
00:09and Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:11Well, now her telephone collaborator, Beyonce,
00:14has given Kamala permission to use her song,
00:17Freedom, on the campaign trail.
00:19♪ Freedom, freedom, okay ♪
00:21Kamala used the track today at a rally in Milwaukee.
00:24Beyonce reportedly gave her approval
00:26just hours before this appearance yesterday.
00:28♪ Freedom to you ♪
00:30And while Beyonce hasn't officially endorsed Kamala,
00:33her mom did.
00:34Tina Knowles posted this pic with a candidate on Sunday.
00:37Also team Kamala, George Clooney.
00:40Responsibilities of us as individuals
00:41to stick your neck out every once in a while.
00:44The Oscar winner who penned an op-ed
00:46asking Biden to step aside just wrote,
00:48we're all so excited to do whatever we can
00:51to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest.
00:54George Clooney was pivotal in getting to the point
00:58where Biden decided to drop out
01:00because Clooney was speaking for so many in Hollywood,
01:03both donors and stalwart Democratic supporters
01:07who had decided Biden had to go.
01:09And this is interesting.
01:11Kamala's campaign raised 81 million in its first 24 hours,
01:15which is coincidentally also
01:17what the movie Twisters made its opening weekend.
01:20Late night, meanwhile, scrambled for laughs.
01:23It is a historic move.
01:24Typically on Sundays,
01:26everyone thinks about quitting their job,
01:27but Biden is the first person
01:29to actually go through with it.
01:30I quit!
01:33The Vice President also got an official boost
01:35from Democratic heavyweights,
01:37including Congresswoman Charlie XCX,
01:39who tweeted, Kamala is brat.
01:45Yep, Kamala's brat rebrand is going viral.
01:48The term is popular with Gen Z, so what's it mean?
01:51I will aspire to be brat.
01:53This CNN panel hilariously attempted
01:55to decipher the candidate's brat phenomenon.
01:58I'm a brat when I'm bumping that.
01:59Kamala Harris appears to be leaning into this.
02:01The singer, Charlie XCX, tweeted last night,
02:05Kamala is brat.
02:07And this is in reference to her album, it's called Brat.
02:09Kamala has branded her Kamala HQ Twitter page
02:11with the same aesthetic of the album.
02:13It has a color, chartreuse.
02:15So stylish.
02:17Quote, brat.
02:19You're just that girl who is a little messy
02:23and likes to party and maybe says
02:26some dumb things sometimes, end quote.
02:31And don't count out the Swifties.
02:33Look what you made me do.
02:35A lot of them are ready to pounce
02:37after this clip of GOP Vice Presidential candidate
02:40J.D. Vance resurfaced.
02:42We're effectively run in this country
02:44by a bunch of childless cat ladies
02:46who are miserable at their own lives,
02:47and it's just a basic fact.
02:49You look at Kamala Harris.
02:50One Taylor fan fired back,
02:52hell hath no fury like a certain childless cat lady
02:55who has yet to endorse a presidential candidate.
02:58Democratic leaders would love
03:00to have Taylor Swift's endorsement.
03:02But I think she has a lot of reasons
03:04to be cautious, to take a lot of care
03:06in what she says about politics.
