The National and Remi Wolf also took the stage in Madison to show support for the Democratic nominee

Mumford & Sons, Gracie Abrams, and the National rallied behind Kamala Harris last night in Madison. The musicians, as well as Remi Wolf, performed for the crowd at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, with Abrams and Wolf also giving speeches in support of Harris.

Mumford & Sons performed three songs, “Little Lion Man,” “Awake My Soul,” and “I Will Wait.”

Before performing “I Love You, I’m Sorry” and “Free Now,” Abrams encouraged young voters to step up for Harris.

“For many of us here onstage and in this crowd tonight, this is either the first or second time that we’ve had the privilege of voting in a presidential election,” she said. “As we know, we’ve inherited a world that is struggling and it’s easy to feel disconnected and disillusioned. Between the advent of social media in our childhoods and Covid and relentlessly targeted disinformation, we’ve been through some things. It’s easy to be discouraged, but we know better. We know that unless we vote and keep our democracy intact, there is nothing we will be able to do to fix it when it is our turn.”

The National’s Aaron Dessner and Matt Berninger dedicated their song “I Need My Girl” to Harris. Wolf, meanwhile, performed “Cinderella” and explained why she was supporting Harris during a short speech. She noted that Americans need “a place where we feel safe, accepted and free.”

“That is why I’m here today to support our future president, Kamala Harris, in her efforts to create this safe space for us again,” Wolf said. “She understands that the right to make decisions about our own bodies is fundamental. She’s committed to tackling big issues like climate change and, like me, she’s a girl from the Bay Area who loves to laugh and have fun.”

Harris used the rally as an opportunity to speak directly to younger voters. “I love your generation, I just love you guys,” Harris said of Gen Z. She praised young people for being “rightly impatient for change,” acknowledging the issues that face them specifically. “I see your power, and I’m so proud of you,” she added. “Can we hear it for our first-time voters!”
