With days to go before the election, the push is on from both parties to get out the vote in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The Democrats and White House hopeful Kamala Harris got a boost in Nevada from two-time Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, who landed in Las Vegas on Friday for a day of campaign activities that included door-knocking outreach and meetings with local officials.

Per intel confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, Lawrence’s itinerary kicked off with a canvass launch at the campaign field office, where she met up with Nevada Democratic regional organizing director Craig Bakerjian and a group of volunteers. Up next, the team hit voter-rich areas in the city to do door-knocking in an attempt to spread the campaign’s messaging.
The day continued at Mothership Coffee Roasters for lunch with Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen and Juanny Romero, CEO of Mothership, the latter of whom took the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to share her story of entrepreneurship and how the administration helped her achieve her goals. Lawrence sat for what is described as an intimate roundtable of seven guests, including first-time voters, small business owners and local activists. The conversation is said to have focused on the importance of voter turnout, meaningful dialogue on pressing local issues and bipartisan cooperation.
Lawrence’s appearance in Nevada comes more than a month after she revealed in an exclusive with People that she was endorsing the Harris-Tim Walz ticket for president. “I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I think she’s an amazing candidate and I know that she will do whatever she can to protect reproductive rights,” she said. “That’s the most important thing, is to not let somebody into the White House who is going to ban abortion.”
Lawrence, who is pregnant with her second child, is a producer of the Hillary and Chelsea Clinton-backed Zurwarski v Texas, a documentary about a group of women who sued the state of Texas in 2023 after they were denied abortions when their health was at risk. The film was directed by Maisie Crow and Abbie Perrault. Lawrence and Justine Ciarrocchi also produced Bread and Roses, an Apple Original film from director Sahra Mani about the experiences of Afghanistan women living under the Taliban since they took control of Kabul.
