Ariana Grande Endorses Bernie Sanders

An international pop singer and a candidate for president seem like an unlikely pairing. Still, fans can’t get enough of this duo after they posed for a picture together back in November 2019? Are Bernie Sanders and Ariana Grande friends? Has Ariana Grande endorsed this democratic candidate? Here’s what we know about these two public figures.

Somehow, in between democratic debates and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, Bernie Sanders paid a visit to the concert of one Grammy-award winning pop-star. During November 2019, Ariana Grande hosted live performances across the United States. Bernie Sanders met up with the singer at her Atlanta concert, later tweeting about the show.

“I want to thank [Ariana Grande] for not only being a wonderful entertainer but also for being such an outstanding advocate for social justice. We must all be prepared – like Ariana has shown – to fight for everyone who is struggling. It was great to meet her in Atlanta last night,” Senator Sanders tweeted.



Ariana Grande tweeted her love for Bernie Sanders
On the same night, Ariana Grande shared a message with her fans about this United States senator. She posted two pictures of herself with the democratic candidate, along with a caption celebrating the public figure.

“MY GUY. Thank you, Senator Sanders, for coming to my show, making my whole night, and for all that you stand for! Headcount.org and I are doing our best to make you proud. We’ve already registered 20k+ young voters at my shows alone. Also, I will never smile this hard again promise,” Ariana Grande tweeted.

As a result, some fans took to social media, sharing their love for both public figures and getting Ariana Grande’s tweet to over 200,000 likes. One Twitter user wrote, “Can I just say, not only is Bernie rockin’ this primary with his policies but he’s living his best life!”

“WOW!! This is AMAZING. [Bernie Sanders] is our guy! Thank you, Ariana, for your support and [for] using your influence to get the youth vote to the polls. 2020 is a crucial election for the future of humanity [and] the planet,” another Twitter user wrote.

After that adorable Twitter post, it’s pretty safe to save to say that Bernie Sanders is Ariana Grande’s current preferred democratic candidate. According to Rolling Stone, the popstar official endorsed Senator Sanders during November 2019.



The “Thank U, Next” singer also teamed up with Headcount.org, a non-partisan organization that registers people to vote at public events. Some volunteers worked at Ariana Grande’s concerts, registering thousands of young voters.

However, Ariana Grande is not the first artist to share her love and support for Bernie Sanders. According to The Washington Post, during July 2019, “Sanders teamed up with rapper Cardi B to create a viral campaign video aimed at getting young people more involved in politics.”



Music by Ariana Grande, including the album Thank U, Next, is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and most major streaming platforms.

Russia loves interfering with U.S. elections. This is a fact confirmed by almost every single U.S. intelligence department and anyone with access to a Twitter account. The latest effort from Vladimir Putin and his legion of hackers is to continue helping Trump, but curiously they are also helping Bernie Sanders. Interestingly, it’s probably not what you think.

Putin Likes Sanders For More Than Just Securing Trump’s Re-Election
President Trump is extremely confident that he can beat Bernie Sanders in a general election. This is a fact proven by his continuous support for Sanders on social media, despite their very different views on politics.

This makes it extremely useful to Russia if Bernie is the Democratic nominee. But this is still not the most attractive thing about Sanders to Putin.

The Russian leader loves Trump mainly because they share a hatred for international organizations. Russia might not like the sanctions imposed upon them, but they haven’t had any impact on the current administration’s grip on power.

All potential U.S. presidential candidates will maintain sanctions, so it’s merely a case of picking the candidates who push back the least against Russian aggression.

DNC Establishment Candidates Are Likely To Expand NATO; Bernie Won’t
Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, the only realistic challengers to Bernie Sanders (if you exclude Mike Bloomberg after his horrendous debate in Nevada), are as entrenched in the democratic establishment as you can get.



Both moderate candidates are pro-Nato expansion, meaning Bosnia & Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Georgia, and Ukraine could join, leaving Putin with more NATO troops massing on his border.

Bernie Sanders explicitly states in his campaign pledge that he is not in favor of NATO expansion, evidenced by the following quote he made in 1997,

After four decades of the cold war and trillions of United States taxpayer dollars allocated to compete in the arms race, many of our constituents understand that it is not the time to continue wasting tens of billions of dollars helping to defend Europe, let alone assuming more than our share of any costs associated with expanding NATO eastward.
