Drag Queens from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” will host a huge Drag Show for Vice President Kamala Harris in Chicago during the Democratic National Convention.
The first ever Drag PAC (Political Action Committee) — created by “Drag Race” alumni — announced that on Wednesday August 21 it will host what’s being called “DNC Drag Night Chicago: A Voter Registration Kiki,” LGBTQ Nation reported. The PAC is hosting the multiple Drag Shows on Wednesday in hopes of increasing voter registration
In a video posted by Libs of TikTok on X, we see a host of Drag Queens saying “Hey Chicago” as they promote the various Drag shows that they claim will be “the biggest night of drag.”

The PAC’s founding members — which include performers like Jinkx Monsoon, BenDeLaCreme, and Monét X Change — said the PAC was formed due to what it labeled “anti-LGBTQ+ bills,” the outlet noted. The so-called “anti-LGBTQ” legislation in multiple states targets drag performances that outlaws adult cabaret male or female impersonators from performing “nudity, sexual excitement, sexual conduct, excess violence or sadomasochistic abuse” on public property.

Along with the Drag Queen shows, the four-day long convention may at times look more like a typical Hollywood awards show than a political event when this week in the Windy City, as previously reported.
Convention organizers have confirmed to CNN that a different celebrity will kick off each of the four nights at the DNC, where the featured star will give remarks and reappear on stage throughout the evening, starting on Monday night with “Scandal” star Tony Goldwyn.
Tuesday night, CNN contributor and host of “The View” Ana Navarro will emcee the evening. Wednesday night TV star Mindy Kaling will host followed by actress Kerry Washington on Thursday, who will emcee the evening on the same night that Vice President Kamala Harris will officially accept the Democratic party’s nomination.
And they will not be the only ones, as dozens of Hollywood stars flock to Chicago for events and concerts planned around the DNC, as previously reported.
John Legend, an outspoken supporter of the Democratic Party and past contenders for the White House, will hold a concert for Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, the Hollywood Reporter noted.
Late-night host Stephen Colbert is taking his show on the road for the first time with guest appearances that include Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Chance the Rapper, among others THR noted.
There is even supposed to be a Hollywood premiere-style look at the DNC with a “blue” carpet for the arrival of the bigger-named attendees, Deadline reported.
