Harris’s appearance on the show will be at the start of the Season Nine finale, which will debut on Friday. Notably, her cameo was filmed several weeks prior to her accepting President Joe Biden’s endorsement to fill his spot as the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee.
“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,” she said.

Harris is not the first U.S. lawmaker to have a cameo on RuPaul’s Drag Race, as Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared on the show twice, once in 2018 and again in 2022. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has also appeared on the show, during which she praised the drag queens as “patriots.”
In November 2022, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau became the first world leader to appear as a guest on Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World, a spinoff series of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
