Vice President Kamala Harris is set to make a special guest appearance on the highly anticipated RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 9 finale. This marks the first time a sitting Vice President has ever stepped into the iconic Werk Room, solidifying Harris’ status as a trailblazer and a champion for the LGBTQ+ community.

As the endorsed successor to the president in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, Harris will use this platform to deliver a powerful message about the importance of protecting the rights and freedoms of all individuals, including the LGBTQ community. In her appearance, she will urge viewers to register and vote in the upcoming November election and highlight the crucial role that every vote plays in safeguarding these fundamental rights.

Harris’ presence on the Drag Race finale is particularly significant given the current climate of attacks on LGBTQ rights in the United States. In response to these threats, the production company behind the show, World of Wonder, has partnered with the ACLU to establish the Drag Defense Fund, an initiative that aims to support and protect the LGBTQ+ community.

This is not the first time that prominent political figures have graced the Drag Race stage. Previous guests have included Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has made two appearances on the show, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who served as a guest judge on season 12. Additionally, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lent his support to the inaugural season of Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World.

The RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 9 finale, with Harris, is set to stream on Paramount+ this Friday. This historic moment promises to not only entertain and delight viewers but also serve as a powerful statement of solidarity and a call to action for the protection of LGBTQ rights in the United States.
