MUNA‘s Katie Gavin has shared her thoughts on the upcoming US elections and presidential candidate Kamala Harris.The lead vocalist of the rising American indie-pop band revealed in a new interview with The i that while she will be voting for Harris for the upcoming elections, she will not endorse Harris.Speaking to the publication, Gavin said: “I’m gonna be voting for Kamala Harris, but I’m not gonna endorse somebody who is funding a genocide.” In her statement, Gavin alludes to the Biden-Harris administration’s funding of Israel while committing genocide in Gaza – something that has also been brought up by other musicians in the past.Chappell Roan in September revealed that similarly to Gavin, she would be voting for Harris but isn’t explicitly endorsing her.

In a social media video, Roan said: “I’m voting for fucking Kamala, but I’m not settling for what has been offered. Because that’s questionable.

It’s questionable, the actions of our government, of the internet, of you and me.”Elsewhere, she highlighted the “huge problems” with both sides of the presidential elections: “Endorsing and voting are completely different.

I don’t agree with a lot of what is going on with policies. Obviously, fuck the policies on the right, but also, fuck some of the policies on the left.
