John Legend’s Daughter Sees Herself in Kamala Harris: ‘I’m Glad I See Someone Who’s Black and Asian Like Her’

John Legend spoke out about his daughter’s admiration for Vice President Kamala Harris.

The “Green Light” singer revealed in a brand new interview Hollywood Reporter that his and his wife Chrissy Teigen’s oldest daughter, 8-year-old Luna, admires the vice chairman because she sees a little bit of herself in him.

“(Luna) is so excited to see someone who is black and Asian, like her, (and) a woman, like her — so she looks at (Kamala) and she’s like, ‘That’s me,’ up there,” Legend said. “For her to see that is obviously very inspiring, and she’s excited, and she can’t imagine why anyone would vote for Donald Trump, but that’s a different story.”

Legend’s comments come the identical week he’s scheduled to perform at a personal event throughout the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, in accordance with THR. The “All of Me” singer will headline a concert hosted by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on the Salt Shed on Tuesday, Chicago Sun Times reported.

Legend told THR that he and his family, which also includes sons Miles and Wren and daughter Esti, have visited the White House and met with Harris several times. The “Used to Love U” singer is supporting Harris’ run for president, arguing that “the change at the top of the list was needed to get to the excitement that we have now.”

“You can just feel the surge of mobilization, of engagement, of volunteering, of donations and the desire to get out and get other friends to vote,” Legend said. “You just see this surge that wasn’t there before.”

Legend added that he thinks “people were pretty apathetic about voting for two 80-year-olds, and they were ready for some new energy and new excitement. And I’m really grateful to President Biden for making that sacrifice, because the default behavior of any president, especially someone who had as successful a first term as he did, is to run for reelection.”

“He realized that it wasn’t necessarily the best thing for the country and he did something really gracious and patriotic by stepping down and letting a new generation come on board,” Legend concluded. “And I think that act inspired so many people and it’s a beautiful thing. I love watching that.”
