"Jump on the bandwagon.”...
Long ago, bands on the platforms of traveling wagons played music to announce a parade or political speech. To show their support, people would often jump onto the platform and join the band.
Today, this idiom usually refers to someone who hopes to benefit from supporting another person's agenda.
