Vice President Kamala Harris has already nabbed a major endorsement that promises to boost her muscle with the youth vote if she's officially nominated to replace Joe Biden in the race for the presidency.

Pop star Charli XCX endorsed Harris to her 3.6 million X followers — plus other fans — on Sunday with an in-the-know message of support, saying: "kamala IS brat," which means Harris is Charli's kind of person.

"Brat" is the name of Charli's latest album and refers to a certain type, described by the singer as "honest and blunt."

The message had already grabbed 21 million views as of Monday morning.

The youth vote is an Achille's heel for Trump, according to several polls which have found young Americans supporting Biden.

Florida Politics reported Monday that three groups of young Democrats in the state — Florida Future Leaders, Florida College Democrats, and Florida High School Democrats — are already lining up behind Harris, along with national groups Voters of Tomorrow and Dream for America.
