Monika Lewinsky urged supporters to vote for Kamala Harris as the election enters its home stretch.
The activist, 51, took to social media to call on her 1.1 million followers to support the Democratic ticket, sharing a smiling selfie while wearing an ‘I Voted’ sticker.
‘PLEASE VOTE!’ she captioned the picture: ‘(Preferably like I did for Harris/ Walz)’.
It comes as both the Trump and Harris campaigns ramp up their get-out-the-vote efforts days before polls close on Tuesday, with early voting data showing more than 60 million Americans have already cast their ballot.

Lewinsky has made no secret of her support for the Democrats in the past, and has frequently urged her followers to support Harris in recent weeks.
And with early voting now open across the nation, Lewinsky and her supporters may have been buoyed by early data from the University of Florida’s Election Lab.
The data found that of the 60 million Americans who have already cast their ballot, women made up 54 percent compared to men’s 44 percent.
According to the results, several swing states see a similar 10% difference between the genders when it comes to who has voted early: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and North Carolina.
Pennsylvania, in particular, could be key to deciding the winner of the White House.
While the numbers only show that more women have voted – but not who they voted for – polls show Trump has a significant deficit with female voters compared to Kamala Harris.
Early voting data showed 54 percent of all voters have been women so far, giving a boost to Kamala Harris’ chances in the race

An analysis of Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted in October shows that, among women, Harris led Trump by 12 points.
Additionally, Harris only trailed Trump by 2 points among white women – 46% to 44% – a much smaller margin than the 16-point lead Trump had over Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Polls have consistently shown the presidential race is a dead heat between the two candidates, however Trump’s odds took a significant hit on Friday on the betting markets.
With four days until the election the prominent betting website Kalshi had Trump’s chances of winning at 53 percent compared to 47 percent for Harris – a severe drop from the 64 – 36 lead he enjoyed just days before.
