Lady Gaga to join Hillary Clinton for midnight election eve rally
Lady Gaga will join Jon Bon Jovi for an election eve gig in support of Hillary Clinton late on Monday night (07Nov16).
The public Clinton supporter will be among the big names cheering on the Democrat at a midnight rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, according to ABC News.
The get-together will be the presidential hopeful's last rally
before Tuesday's (08Nov16) election.
It is not clear if Gaga will be performing or speaking at the
event, which will be Bon Jovi's second Clinton rally of the evening
- he's also on the bill to appear at a campaign gig in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania along with Bruce Springsteen, Clinton's
husband Bill, their daughter Chelsea, President Barack Obama and
his wife Michelle.
Ahead of the midnight rally, Lady Gaga took to Twitter to express
her frustration with Republican nominee Donald Trump - Clinton's
rival - and his wife Melania Trump after she took a stand against
cyber-bullying and said it would become her priority to stamp out
the issue if she becomes America's next First Lady.
"@MELANIATRUMP to say u will stand for 'anti-bullying' is
hypocrisy," Gaga wrote. "Your husband is 1 of the most notorious
bullies we have ever witnessed."
Madonna was also out supporting Hillary on the eve of the election
- she performed a surprise set at Washington Square Park in New
York 12 hours before polls open in the Big Apple. She posted a
photo of herself from the event on both Instagram and Twitter,
playing a red guitar while wearing a Stars and Stripes hat with a
black leather jacket, and captioned it: "You May say I'm a
Dreamer.......... But I'm not the only one! Vote for H.R.C."
The pop superstar announced the last-minute show on Instagram and
Twitter under a photo of herself flashing V-signs. She wrote: "Meet
me in Washington Square Park at 7:30 Let's Go Hard For Hillary
Clinton!"
Meanwhile, stars like Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson, James
Franco, Julianne Moore, and Neil Patrick Harris have teamed up to
urge Americans to make sure they vote on Tuesday in a new online
video.
The clip, titled VOTE TOMORROW and directed by Joss Whedon, begins
with Downey Jr., saying, "Tomorrow’s the big day. Who’s gonna get
out there and vote?"
Johansson then urges voters to make a plan to cast their ballots,
adding, "When are you going? Are you going before work? Are you
going after? Do you have a plan? Do you have a ride?"
She then jokes, "'Cause I can drive. Not well, but I can
drive."
