Michelle Obama releases a new campaign video featuring celebrity friends Steph Curry, Kerry Washington and Megan Rapinoe just days after hosting Kamala Harris.

Michelle Obama released a star-studded video encouraging Americans to get ready to vote.

The former first lady enlisted celebrity friends Steph Curry and Kerry Washington to explain the importance of the idea, along with others such as Megan Rapinoe, Shonda Rhimes and Chris Paul.

Country singer Reyna Roberts also made an appearance, as did Filipino-American beauty influencer Bretman Rock. All encouraged viewers to start thinking about their favorite candidate ahead of the US election, via When We All Vote.

Obama launched a nonpartisan campaign in 2018 to increase voter turnout. The video comes days after she and Barack announced their commitment to Kamala Harris.

The ad begins with the stars suddenly receiving a phone call from the former first lady, who asks each of them sternly, ‘Are you voting this year?’

Scroll down for the video:

Rapinoe, an outspoken Democrat who has been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, was the first to respond.

‘Yes,’ the retired USWNT player proudly replies, as the split screen shows him and his partner moving forward.

‘Of course I am!’ Top TV producer Rhimes this time gets involved.

‘Yes, one hundred percent!’ Roberts, a black woman who has been advocating for inclusion in the music industry since her birth in 2020, is now calling it quits.

‘Obviously!’ Adding to Washington, as everyone is seen responding to Obama’s symbolic and literal call.

‘You already know,’ added San Antonio Spurs guard Chris Paul – seen with his 15-year-old son Chris Jr.

After his snippet, Obama appears on screen again, this time telling viewers, ‘Now, it’s your turn to answer the call’ – before offering a reminder that the election is ‘only 100 days away.’

At that time, the Democrats will have to come up with a concrete candidate after the last minute change of Joe Biden – after which his VP Harris emerged as the heir apparent.

Biden himself took 23 minutes to endorse his former running mate before announcing his decision to retire on July 21 – while the Obamas took the better part of the week.

A video shared on Sunday, a week later, gave no such confirmation, but with the players playing, it didn’t seem like it was based on conservatives.

Obama, 60, seemed to erase all doubt when he cited issues such as ‘reproductive rights’ [and] environment’ – hailed as ‘our future’, and will be completed in a ‘ballot’.

‘So, are you voting this year?’ the Chicago native continues to ask — a question echoed by Rhimes, Paul, and Rock, respectively.

Roberts says: ‘Come with me.

‘Join Me,’ added Curry – ahead of the ‘Join Us’ group, as Obama concluded, ‘by registering and preparing to vote with Let’s All Vote today.

‘Text “Join” to 56005,’ the message concludes, ending the highly wordy ad.

Along with Roberts, they serve as co-chairs for the so-called non-union cause, which is run by celebrities such as Tom Hanks and Selena Gomez.

Jennifer Lopez and Lin Manuel Miranda also star, as does actress Rita Wilson.

Paul was a staunch Obama supporter even as a junior member of the presidential administration, as was Curry.

Rapinoe and Rimes are also outspoken Democrats, both standing in stark contrast to former President Trump.

Rock, a gay man, and Roberts, a devout Christian, are less vocal about their views, but both have fought for more representation for marginalized people in the media, especially from their ethnic and/or racial backgrounds. or gender identity.

Such causes, while important, are viewed by Republicans not as priorities but as talking points on the left – a side currently in some turmoil as the official nominee in the air.

Referring to a video produced by Harris’ team showing Michelle and Barack giving their endorsements to him over the phone, a Democratic official told DailyMail.com that the former president wanted to do something ‘one more than a sentence.’

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official added that the broadcast was suspended to avoid covering President Joe Biden’s Oval Office speech on Wednesday night.

‘I can’t get this phone call without telling my girl Kamala, I’m so proud of you,’ Michelle can be heard telling Harris through her mouth. ‘This will be history.’

“We’re calling to say, Michelle and I, we couldn’t be more proud to support you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” the former president shouted.

Prior to the announcement of the endorsement, Trump’s campaign issued a statement, which indicated that Trump would not finalize the debate schedule until ‘Democrats formally decide on their nominee.’

“There is a strong belief by many people in the Democrat Party – namely Barack Hussein Obama – that Kamala Harris is a Marxist scumbag who will never defeat President Trump, and they are holding out for someone better,” the said Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung. Thursday night.

Harris, meanwhile, thanked both Obamas before getting off the phone in a video on Wednesday.

He said: ‘I just want to tell you that the words you have spoken and the friendship you have given all these years mean more than I can explain.’ ‘Thank you both, it means a lot.

And we’re going to have fun with it, aren’t we?’ he continued to ask.

To that, Michelle replied, ‘Absolutely!’, as the former president added, ‘Well… look, you’re a happy warrior.’

‘And the country needs a happy warrior,’ Michelle also declared, as the process of democratic selection, which will be held before the meeting in Chicago, aims to be completed on August 7.

At that time, the candidate will be announced.
