While the journey for the most disputed presidential seat in the world continues in full swing, candidates have managed to increase their lists of famous supporters. This is one of the facts that tend to be converted into one of the oldest tactics within the political environment when the elections are the focus of the power struggle.
Directly or indirectly, these celebrities have a relevant impact on the campaign of the candidates they have chosen to publicly support because they are well-known people and who certainly have a solid fan base who can be "influenced" by their views (even if they don't whether they are people involved in the political environment, but in the entertainment world).
The list of the candidate who has the biggest fan base on the internet, Andrew Yang, has been consolidating a team of very consistent quality and a new gang is being formed outside the virtual world. The most recent name on the list is that of comedian Dave Chapelle, who has shown his full support for Yang's candidacy by announcing two shows (which will take place on the 29th and 30th in South Carolina) to support his campaign.
Another comedian - besides Chappelle - who is on the entrepreneur's side is Ken Jeong. The actor from the TV series Community said, "I love Andrew Yang and am proud to be endorsing him. He's offering me a thousand bucks a month to say this. Andrew is a visionary whose humanity is boundless. I'm honored to be part of the #YangGang". His support has an impact that is very relevant within the Asian community and it is clear that this can be converted into many votes.
The list goes on with other names that bring a very solid level of visibility (which is obviously something very important) to Yang's campaign and prove that his candidacy is not a forgettable joke or a simple political experiment to try to cause a media noise without credible reasons. Look at this team:
Elson Musk: Founder of the Tesla company.
Daniel Negreanu: Famous Canadian professional poker player champion.
Rivers Cuomo: Vocalist of the alternative rock band Weezer.
Steven Yeun: Actor best known for the TV series The Walking Dead.
Donald Glover: Actor and Singer best known by the name of Childish Gambino.
Teri Hacther: Actress known for the TV series Desperate Housewives and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
James Guun: Director known for the movie Guardians of the Galaxy.
Yang's next battle - if he qualifies, after meeting some specific requirements - is the debate that will take place on February 7th. Until then, he continues to work with a competent team (both on the internet and in the real world) and believing that the game can change in his favor... After all, he has already performed better than some more experienced candidates, such as Kamala Harris and Cory Booker.
All this support coming from celebrities (which were spontaneous) reinforces a marketing strategy that has been more incisive, more delineated and that is managing to attract the attention of more people. Therefore, it can be said that this is a very consistent point in his campaign and it is expected that good indexes will arise because of this. On the other hand, the internet continues to do its job and help in this war.
When it comes to politics, there are usually no absolute favorites and the war is waged until the last vote is announced. Yang and his supporters believe in better results because the political game always brings some surprises that make this type of dispute even more fierce and the presence of famous and anonymous supporters (like the gang that dominates the internet in favor of Democrats) who enter in the battle for support is more than welcome... it is essential.
This is my most recent contribution (it's the 8th post on this support journey) to
