Anne Hathaway Endorses Kamala Harris, Belts Out "Somebody to Love" at a Broadway for Harris Event
The star has a lot to say about the election.
Anne Hathaway has officially announced her support for Vice-President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election.
The actress showed up to a Broadway for Harris rally on Oct. 14, and came out to perform on stage in an outfit that was very The Greatest Showman: a long, tailored, sequined, black tux jacket with satin lapels over black sequined shorts, paired with over-the-knee black leather boots.

As seen in YouTube footage, addressing the crowd after the previous speaker, Hathaway said, "I just wanna say, 'hi, I'm Annie and I'm a mom!' And actually my son Jonathan is here tonight. Hi Jonny! Also in case you didn't know, I am voting for Kamala. Is anybody else here voting for Kamala?"
After the audience cheered loudly, the star quipped, "Isn't it a relief to be decided?"
More seriously, she continued, "It's very important to remember that America is a very big place, and not everybody is decided. Especially in an election like this when passions are rightly so intense, because the stakes couldn't be higher.
"It's still very important to remember that you have to meet people where they are at, especially when you're canvassing or phone-banking. So we thought that it might be nice to make a little space tonight for the undecided voter, and contemplate a question that they might be struggling with."
