John Legend explains why Kamala Harris is his presidential pick: "We all have a stake in what happens"

John Legend admits most people may "see the glamour and celebrity" when they look at him, but he's the same person who grew up in a blue-collar town in Ohio with what he described as a UAW family. His upbringing, and now raising a family of his own, are among the many reasons he's passionate about taking a political stand.

In an exclusive TV interview, Legend told "CBS Mornings" co-anchor Tony Dokoupil that he doesn't want to "sit out" of elections because they impact everyone. 

"Politics affects all of our lives, and we're all citizens, we all have a stake in what happens in this country. We pay taxes here. Our kids are growing up here, going to schools here," Legend told Dokoupil on Tuesday in Chicago.
