Democrats Are Having Rich Celebs Pausing Their Vacations To Tell People Who To Vote For

There are a bunch of elections going on today. We have stuff going on in five states– Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Washington and Ohio. The biggest race everyone’s watching? The special election between Republican Troy Balderson and Democrat Danny O’Connor. The Washington Post describes the race as “a preview of the November midterms in which control of the House could be decided in similar communities nationwide that have long voted for Republicans but are souring on Trump.”

Trump is fully backing Balderson.

Ohio, vote today for Troy Balderson for Congress. His opponent, controlled by Nancy Pelosi, is weak on Crime, the Border, Military, Vets, your 2nd Amendment – and will end your Tax Cuts. Troy will be a great Congressman. #MAGA

Guess who’s fully backing O’Connor? None other than mega lib John Legend! In fact, he’s SO passionate about this that he took a break from his super fun vacay in Bali to tell Ohio voters who to support.

.@JohnLegend wants YOU to call Ohio voters for @DannyOConnor1! Support the Ohio special election on Tuesday no matter where you are, and we’ll be one seat closer to taking back the House. Let’s do this: https://t.co/nBnwF387v8 pic.twitter.com/mgbv5eZTa1

How nice of him to take a break from #vacay to tell you that! If a celeb says he’s the right candidate…what else do you need to hear???

Very smart, Dems. I mean, it worked for Hillary, right?

Democrats don’t have a message or ideas to win back voters. They bring in a rich celebrity to convince middle America to vote for them. Didn’t work in 2016. Won’t work now.

Oh yeah…that’s right. It DIDN’T. Sorry Katy Perry!

But listen. John Legend would like you to know that he went to church camp in that district, so it MEANS something to him, OK?

Born and raised in a blue collar family in "middle America." I went to church camp every summer in that district and grew up an hour from there. But continue supporting the born rich New Yorker celebrity apprentice host in the White House. https://t.co/45YyYTu0MM

Dude…you have no room to b*tch about people being wealthy. Seriously. Shut up.

ANYWAY. It looks like it’s going to be a close one, but who really knows.

Stay tuned! We’ll be following this!
