The 2024 presidential campaign was thrown into even further chaos on Sunday (July 21) when President Joe Biden announced that he would drop out of the race just weeks after a calamitous debate performance against Donald Trump drew renewed calls for the commander-in-chief to step aside.

Biden, 81, quickly gave VP Kamala Harris his endorsement, vaulting his second-in-command to the front of the line for the democratic party’s nomination when they gather in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention from August 19-22.

And while Biden’s shoulder tap is crucial, Harris also got another very important endorsement from a pop powerbroker: Charli XCX. The British star — who cannot vote in U.S. elections — joined a raft of celebrities cheering on Harris’ anointing, including Barbra Streisand, Lizzo, Cardi B, Cher and many others, while announcing that “Kamala IS brat.”

The reference is to the title of the singer’s new record, brat, and an lifestyle Charli has described for someone who can be high luxury at times, or who has a “pack of cigs, a Bic lighter and a strappy white top with no bra” at others. The whole vibe is perfect for what Charli has deemed “brat summer,” a time when her fans are invited to get grimy and sweat it out on the dance floor with a few essentials (courtesy of Glamour) including: square-rimmed sunglasses you never take off, messy hair, a smudged, smoky eye, bad tattoos and old, corded Apple headphones.

At press time Charli’s original post had racked up more than 243,000 likes and more than 19 million views. Harris’ Kamala HQ campaign X account immediately appeared to hop on the coveted nod from Charli, changing the banner on its X page to the signature Brat lime green palette and font.

While it’s unlikely that Harris, 59, will show up at a club with a pack of smokes, messy hair and shades to cement the coveted XCX brat endorsement, the veep has been known to show off her dance moves in the past and is now running against the current oldest person to ever seek the presidency in former one-termer Trump, 78.

The democratic party must now scramble to officially name a replacement for Biden before the upcoming convention following the surprising announcement from Biden. The 81-year-old president who is currently battling COVID, was pressured to step down after weeks of mounting pressure from Democratic leaders for him to drop out of the tight race against twice-impeached convicted felon Trump, who was grazed on the ear by a bullet two weeks ago in an attempted assassination during a rally in Butler, PA.

At press time Harris had also begun following Charli on Instagram and X, in addition to her other pop star follows, which include Rihanna, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Janelle Monae, Lizzo and many more.
