Swift caught a lot of heat for not disclosing her political views in 2016, a subject that was well-documented during "Miss Americana."

This year, Swift posted an Instagram showing her with custom Biden/Harris cookies, along with a link to an article in V Magazine about why she will be voting for Biden.

"The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color deserve to feel safe and represented, that women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be acknowledged and included. Everyone deserves a government that takes global health risks seriously and puts the lives of its people first. The only way we can begin to make things better is to choose leaders who are willing to face these issues and find ways to work through them," she told V. "I will proudly vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in this year's presidential election. Under their leadership, I believe America has a chance to start the healing process it so desperately needs," she continued.

Jennifer Lawrence also officially endorsed Biden in V Magazine.

"Voting is the foundation of our democracy and our freedom. And I would consider this upcoming election the most consequential of our lifetime. I'm voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris this year because Donald Trump has and will continue to put himself before the safety and well-being of America. He does not represent my values as an American, and most importantly as a human being," she told V.

The Food Network chef, who also worked in Jimmy Carter's administration, interviewed Jill Biden for the fundraiser.

Although she is normally apolitical, Garten decided to speak out this year.

"I'm not political," she told People. "I think if you research you'll find I've supported political programs privately but I've never been really public about it — but sometimes you just have to do it."

"As a country, we need to pull this together," she continued. "We need to stop being divisive and be positive and supportive and collaborative. [Biden] is a guy who's been in Congress for decades and has a reputation for working across the aisle, and I think that's exactly what we need right now."

Gaffigan broke his political silence after he watched the president's speech at the RNC. He tweeted multiple times about his dislike for Trump, and he later went on to support Biden.

On Facebook, he shared a story about an event he planned for Georgetown University in 2019. "I organized the event with my good friend & classmate @emilychennyc. Emily and I were thinking of ideas on how to make the event even more special. Emily mentioned she could maybe get a video from @joebiden. I asked 'Did Biden go to Georgetown?' She replied, 'No, but this is the kind of thing Joe Biden would care about.' Well, to my surprise Joe gave us a video. We started the show with Joe's video and he reminded everyone in the audience that we should look out for our fellow citizens. It set the tone for an incredible show. This American pin clip reminded me of Joe's kindness and generosity toward our event and GSP. This country would be lucky to be led by a man like @joebiden. Please vote," Gaffigan wrote.

The iconic popstar has always been politically outspoken. During the fundraiser, Cher recalled the first time she met Biden in 2006.

"I saw a speech Joe had given and it was love at first speech. So I went to his office to grill him and I asked him really pointed questions and unlike most politicians, Joe actually listened to me and cared (about) what I had to say. He was honest and kind and smart," she said, according to CBS. She also called him "smart enough, he's kind enough, he's strong enough."

"I said, sink or swim, I'm with him, I'm ridin' with Biden. It sounds corny but that's what I said," Cher continued.

"Oh, I'm backing the president for sure. I don't like a single Democratic candidate. I mean Pete Buttigieg is an interesting guy and he's smart and he's eloquent, but when you start getting into his economic philosophies and that whole Marxist push — no, I'm not cool with that," he continued, when asked he would support in 2020.

Work to reward. Dignity to protect. There is so much we can do, if we choose to take on problems, and not each other. And choose a president who brings out our best. Joe Biden doesn't need everyone in this country to always agree. Just to agree we all love this country, and go from there," he says in the ad.

He cited Trump's policies as his reason for supporting him, specifically his policies regarding the Black community.

Now, Washington has his own show on Fox Nation, "Kitchen Talk."

Ross moderated the second night of the convention, and cited Biden's choice of running mate, Harris, as a real "turning point" in American history and part of the reason she supported his candidacy.

"I spoke to Joe Biden. I know him," she said in a "Breakfast Club" interview before dropping her interview with him. "Knowing him and everything, I think he's getting it. I think he understands the people's pain. He's getting what we want. People think we want so much, but we want really simple things if you really think about it," the "WAP" rapper continued.

On Elle's YouTube channel, Cardi B and Biden spoke for over 15 minutes about various policies and issues facing the US today.

Stern made this announcement on his radio show in April after Trump said that ultraviolet light could potentially cure COVID-19 — Trump later said he was being sarcastic.

"I am all in on Joe Biden," Stern said. "You see the wall that's right next to you, I'll vote for the wall over a guy who tells me that I should pour Clorox into my mouth. Listen, I think we are in deep s---. I think we could have been ahead of this curve."

"Biden was not my guy. Wasn't even in the top four or five. I was more of a Sanders, Warren [supporter]," he said in a June appearance on "The Late Show."

"I've recently been thinking about something and that is, we are a country in terrible anguish right now. We are in pain," he continued. "'American exceptionalism' is not a title that you wear like you were Miss America in 1937 and you'll always be Miss America. It takes effort and work to maintain. If you treat it like a fait accompli, it will erode and you will lose it. We are seeing that erosion, and we are fearful and we are angry and we are in pain. When I see Biden, past the shtick, I see a guy who knows what loss is, who knows grief."
