Vice President Kamala Harris is going from the presidential race to the "Drag Race."
Harris will make an appearance on Friday's Season 9 finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" with a message about voting in the 2024 presidential election.
In a preview clip from the episode, the vice president urged viewers to register to vote while appearing alongside Michelle Visage, Jamal Sims, Lance Bass, Leslie Jones and Cheyenne Jackson.
"Each day, we are seeing our rights and freedoms under attack, including the right of everyone to be who they are, love who they love, openly and with pride," Harris said.
"So as we fight back against these attacks, let's all remember, no one is alone," she continued. "We are all in this together, and your vote is your power. So please make sure your voice is heard this November, and register to vote at Vote.gov."

Harris' appearance was filmed weeks ago, before she launched her own campaign for president, according to Variety and Deadline. But it will air in a very different context, just days after President Joe Biden announced Sunday he is dropping out of the presidential race.

Biden endorsed Harris to succeed him as the Democratic nominee for president and in an Oval Office address on Wednesday, he praised his 2020 running mate as "experienced," "tough" and "capable."

Harris' appearance comes after former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, similarly went on "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" in 2022. "Thank you for the joy and beauty you bring to the world," Pelosi said at the time while urging viewers to vote in the midterm elections later that year. "Your freedom of expression of yourselves in drag is what America is all about. I say that all the time to my friends in drag."
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., also served as a guest judge on "RuPaul's Drag Race" in 2020.
"This is truly a dream come true," she said on the show, adding that "Drag Race" was the "only thing that would help me disconnect and unplug" when she was working as a bartender.
"RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" Season 9 was the show's first in which participants competed for charity, and the winner will receive $200,000 for a charity of their choice. The show is streaming on Paramount+.
