Ahead of Friday’s (July 26) finale episode of All Stars 9, Drag Race shared an official clip set to air in the first moments of the episode, where the vice president stopped by the workroom — alongside Drag Race judge Michelle Visage, choreographer Jamal Sims and special guests Leslie Jones, Lance Bass and Cheyenne Jackson — to share some words of encouragement for those watching at home.

“Each day we are seeing our rights and freedoms under attack, including the right of everyone to be who they are, love who they love, openly and with pride,” Harris said. “So as we fight back against these attacks, let’s all remember no one is alone. We are all in this together, and your vote is your power. So please make sure your voice is heard this November, and register to vote at vote.gov.”

The new clip arrives just as Vice President Harris takes the baton from President Joe Biden as the presumptive Democratic nominee in the 2024 presidential election. The commander in chief announced Sunday (July 21) that he was dropping out of the race, and quickly endorsed Harris. In the days since Biden’s announcement, Harris’ campaign reports that they have $126 million dollars in support of the vice president.

Among those expressing their support for Harris’ presidential bid are a number of celebrities, including Olivia Rodrigo, Cardi B, Charli XCX and others. Even Beyoncé shared her support for the vice president by clearing the Harris campaign’s use of her song “Freedom” in rallies and in her latest campaign ad.

This won’t be the first time a major political figure has appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race. In season 12, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined the judges’ panel to critique the queens’ performances during their unauthorized Madonna Rusical. Meanwhile, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has made two surprise appearances on the show — in All Stars 3 and All Stars 7.
