US Elections are fast approaching as Lawmakers prepare to do battle in November midterm elections, singer Rihanna has taken to her social media page to ask Americans to go and register so to vote in the coming elections.
Since the Presidential elections of 2016, the United States of America as a country has been divided along party line, and a few of President Donald Trump’s utterances have not helped issues.
The November 6th US elections will see 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 in the Senate will be contested.
Rihanna who has been getting recognition in some of her humanitarian work, has some presence in the political space both in her native country of Barbados and in the United State, and for some reason, the coming elections are very crucial.
Speaking on National issues, she took to her social media page ahead of the US elections to encourage people to stay woke and go and register to vote. She said:
