Pop star Chappell Roan faced backlash from her fanbase after stating in an interview that she didn’t feel pressured to endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 election due to problems on both sides. Fans criticized her for not fully supporting the Democratic party and labeled her as a “closet Republican.” Roan responded to the criticism by clarifying that she would be voting for Vice President Kamala Harris but still had issues with certain policies on both sides. She cited transgender issues and the war in Gaza as reasons for her lack of full endorsement for the Democrats. Roan has been vocal about her political views, including declining an invitation to perform at the White House for Pride. Despite her stance, she encouraged fans to vote for whoever they believe is the best option for the current situation and not settle for candidates they don’t fully trust. Some fans who initially criticized Roan for her stance have since apologized for misunderstanding the situation. The pop star’s frank discussion on her political views and refusal to fully align with either party has sparked conversations among her fanbase and garnered attention in the media.
