A video that turned up on social media a couple of days ago has gone viral. Offering some light relief in the run-up to November 3rd, it presents the top politicians in the U.S. taking part in the “2020 Congressional Ball” – with the “legendary House of Democrats” competing against the “legendary House of Republicans”.
Enjoy Biden, Trump, Harris, Pelosi and Pence facing off on a ballroom runway.

One of those to comment was singer Ricky Martin, who posted a laughing emoji and ‘Thank u’. Among those to share it are Jada Pinkett Smith, Janet Jackson and Laverne Cox, with Cox saying, “I have to be honest. I have utter election fatigue. I want this thing to be over like last year. But this video had me full on cackling. It’s not over. Gurl Vote honey!”
Another to share it was actor and singer Billy Porter, who famously plays the role of Pray Tell in Pose. Porter’s re-edited version features him offering commentary in his role as a ballroom MC.

This! Exactly what I needed to see to start my day! Kamila Harris and A.O.C. are LIVING. Joe Biden slays the house down boots and you know Ms. Pence and Lady Mitch are green with envy!

I think they made Pence look too masculine.

I saw this yesterday & shared it. It’s hilarious.
David Hudson, can you find the video of the ball, I think that took place in Philadelphia, where one of the participants dressed as Don the Con vogued his *ss off? I thought I’d saved the link but didn’t, but it is fabulous. If the real Don the Con ever saw it he might explode!
