John Legend Reveals His Daughter’s Admiration for Kamala Harris

The “All of Me” singer performing during this week's DNC said that his 8-year-old daughter is excited to see someone Black and Asian like her.

John Legend revealed that his eldest daughter, Luna, sees Kamala Harris as a role model.

The “All of Me” singer spoke with The Hollywood Reporter before his performance at the Democratic National Convention this week. “[Luna] is so excited to see someone who’s Black and Asian like she is, [and] a woman like she is — so she’s looking at [Kamala] like, ‘This is me’ up there,’” he said. “For her to see that, of course, is really inspiring, and she’s excited,” he continued. “And she can’t imagine why anyone would vote for Donald Trump, but that’s another issue.”

When President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race in July, Legend was among the many stars who quickly voiced support for Harris. “I’m so ready to work to help unite the pro-democracy coalition to reject Trump’s authoritarian, oppressive Project 2025 and elect Kamala Harris as our President,” he tweeted at the time. “She’s ready for this fight, and I’m excited to help her in any way I can.”

The Ohio native also praised Biden’s decision to endorse the vice president. “I think people were kind of apathetic about voting for two 80-year-olds, and they were ready for some new energy and some new excitement,” he told THR. “I’m truly grateful to President Biden for making that sacrifice because the default for any president, especially someone who’s had as successful a first term as he has, is to run for re-election. And he understood that that wasn’t necessarily the best thing for the country, and he did something that was really graceful and patriotic by stepping down and allowing a new generation to step up.”

Legend’s comments come over a week after he announced that he will release an album full of children’s lullabies titled My Favorite Dream. The lead single, “L-O-V-E,” features vocals from his wife, Chrissy Teigen, and their oldest children, Luna and Miles.
