Former couple, pop star Jennifer Lopez and New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez, once teamed up to support Joe Biden's presidential campaign in 2020 against Republican Donald Trump.

The duo organized a virtual chat with Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, showing their support for the Democratic nominee. Lopez spoke about the Latino community, while discussing the economy and the COViD-19 crisis. She said:

"We're thrilled and we're excited to vote. I think our voice has never been more important. We want to come together as a team to defeat Covid and to rebuild this U.S. economy that needs us all so much."

Lopez continued:

"My kind of hope and quest for the Latino community is that they start understanding their power. They understand what they mean to this country, that their vote counts.”

Biden was successful in his campaign. The former vice president took charge as the 46th U.S. president, beating his predecessor. He assumed charge after moving into the White House on January 20, 2021.
