Quavo gave a moving speech during Vice President Harris' rally in Atlanta on Tuesday (July 30), sharing his support for his commitment to addressing gun violence and the launch of the first White House Office to Prevent Gun Violence.
“One of those issues that I care about is solving the issues of gun violence,” Quavo told the crowd. “You cannot understand the struggle of armed violence unless you are in the field or at the heart of it. So, one thing I've learned from working with Vice President Harris is that she always stands by her work. From my invitation to the White House last year to discuss these solutions, to passing the biggest gun safety laws today.”
And he continued, “Well, it's only in the birthplace of culture that it's also the same place for the first African-American woman to run for president to start.”
In 2022, Take offQuavo's nephew and Migos bandmate, was tragically shot and killed. Since then, Quavo has remained steadfast in his commitment to gun violence prevention, having been involved with the Office to Prevent Gun Violence since its inception.
If elected, Harris would be the first woman, the first person of South Asian descent, and the first HBCU graduate to serve as president of the United States of America.
While the Harris campaign has yet to name a running mate, the campaign has largely embraced pop music as the election cycle approaches. Except for the express mention of Charli xcx Brat and Chappell Roan's “Femininomenon,” the Harris camp also used Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar's 2016 Grammy-nominated anthem “Freedom” as their official campaign song.
