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.
